by Another bout of speculation on a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS emerged after lyrics from “My Universe,” thought to be the British band’s new song, was registered on lyrics database MatchLyrics on Thursday.
However, BTS’ label Bit Hit Music said that it could not confirm the news and asked fans for their understanding.

BTS,” sending fans of both bands abuzz.
BTS covered the rock band’s “Fix You” in February at MTV’s Unplugged Presents, and the quartet reacted with a tweet that said “beautiful” in Korean and “Love” in English along with the members’ initials.
