Zane Lowe had a chat in the BBC studio's last night with Coldplay's Chris Martin before sharing the new track.

Speaking about the track, the Coldplay lead man stated, "I was in the ocean one day with this surfer guy, who spoke just like you'd imagine a surfer guy to speak ... He was like, 'Yo dude, I was doing this thing the other day man, it gave me this total everglow!' I was like, 'What an amazing word!' Then the song came completely out. To me, it's about – whether it's a loved one or a situation or a friend or a relationship that's finished, or someone's passed away – I was thinking about, after you've been through the sadness of something, you also get this everglow. That's what it's about.

Coldplay release their new hotly anticipated album A Head Full Of Dreams on December 4.
