Speaking to NewsWire, the film's creator Francis Lawrence revealed that he was super happy to be able to enlist Coldplay for help on its soundtrack. He said:

"I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film. Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can't wait to share this music with audiences around the world."

Tracy McKnight, head of film music at Lionsgate, was also happy they managed to team up with the band.

"We are so honoured that Coldplay, one of the iconic rock bands of our generation, will perform the first song out on the new soundtrack. Knowing that Chris Martin is a fan of the books makes this even more meaningful. The Coldplay single underscores the stature of recording artists we've assembled for this powerful soundtrack."
