Hymn for the Weekend was released by Coldplay in 2016 as a single from their 2015 album A Head Full of Dreams, with uncredited backing vocals from Beyoncé. The track blended pop, R&B and electronic influences and became a major international hit, helped by a colorful music video filmed in India. Online, short excerpts circulate for their instantly recognisable hook and upbeat tone, and creators reuse the clip to signal celebration, travel and carefree weekends long after its chart run.
