From Stage to Studio

TWICE first appeared as the special guest for Coldplay’s Music Of The Spheres World Tour concert on April 16 at Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province. The group opened the night with a vibrant 45-minute set, delivering a medley of their greatest hits to roaring cheers and full-on crowd sing-alongs—including the iconic “Shy shy shy” part from CHEER UP, which fans chanted in unison.

As a surprise highlight, TWICE then took to the stage alongside Coldplay and Chilean singer-songwriter Elyanna for a joint live performance of We Pray. TWICE added emotional depth to the track by singing newly written Korean lyrics, including poetic lines like:

“Even if you don’t offer a thread of light in the dark,”

“Let it bloom, let it break through alone,”

“When morning finally comes, will we be smiling at the end of the road?”

A Historic Collaboration

This marks the first time TWICE has collaborated musically with Coldplay, and fans are hailing it as a major moment in K-pop and global music synergy. The performance not only united artists from different continents but also blended languages and cultural expressions into one powerful message.
