After Coldplay announced their new studio album Music of the Spheres, scheduled to be released October 15, with a space theme, it was clear that Alien Radio FM was directly related. It’s a creative marketing technique to promote the new album.

Since the signal was found, we have been getting more consistent updates from Alien Radio FM, and the latest has confirmed the “ColdTan” collab. On September 13, the account shared a video of the alien language spelling out, “Coldplay x BTS My Universe.”

While we don’t know Coldplay’s alien language personally, fans of the band decoded this made-up language a few months ago when spotted during a music video shoot. Based on Coldplay fans’ translations, it appears to be the official announcement for BTS’s feature on Coldplay’s new single “My Universe.”
