A Cosmic Pop Collaboration
"My Universe" unites two of the world's biggest bands—Coldplay and BTS—in a synth-pop anthem about love transcending boundaries. Written in E Major, the track features a driving beat, shimmering synths, and a vocal arrangement that weaves between English and Korean.
To sing this well, you need versatility. You'll be switching from Chris Martin's warm, lower-register verses to a soaring falsetto chorus, and then tackling the rhythmic precision of the BTS vocal line. Let's break down exactly how to handle this cross-cultural hit.
AI Coach Tip: Falsetto Control
The chorus hook "You, you are" sits high in the head voice (E5). Avoid pushing your chest voice too high here. Keep the volume controlled and the tone breathy but focused to match the recording.
Phase 1: The Verses (Chris Martin)
The song starts in a comfortable mid-range for most Tenors. Chris Martin uses a very relaxed, almost conversational tone. The challenge here is not pitch, but warmth.
The Trap: Don't over-sing the verses. Keep your larynx neutral and focus on clear enunciation. If you push too hard too early, the contrast with the airy chorus will be lost.
Phase 2: The Chorus (The Hook)
This is the emotional core of the song. The melody jumps significantly. You need to flip seamlessly into your head voice (falsetto) for the word "You".
- Placement: Imagine the sound resonating in the "mask" of your face (behind your nose/eyes).
- Breath: Support the high notes from your diaphragm, but don't force air through the vocal cords. It should feel light.
- Harmony: The studio track is layered. When practicing alone, focus on the main melody line before attempting the harmonies.
Phase 3: The Korean Sections (BTS)
Jungkook, V, Jimin, and Jin trade lines that require rhythmic agility. If you don't speak Korean, focus on the phonetics and the rhythm first.
The rap-singing style of SUGA and J-Hope requires a more percussive approach. The vowels are shorter and more clipped compared to the legato style of the chorus. Our app offers a slowed-down mode to help you master the diction.
