Coldplay ft Rihanna actually.

Worst Coldplay song to date, just about. Shame the intro is really cool.

I actually really like it

Much better than the awful and generic We Found Love

As a Rihanna fan, I don't think this song is great.

Although it's better than I was expecting. I was expecting a typical Coldplay song, just with Rihanna singing on top, which I wouldn't have liked, since I find most Coldplay songs a bit depressing tbh, and Rihanna singing on it wouldn't change that.

But this is quite different. Almost sounds like a hip hop beat in the verses!

Still not great, but I guess if they had a song this commercial, it makes sense to get a popular singer on it to "make the most of it", so to speak.

Based on first listen, it sounds like an absolute mess
Mainly because i am not fond of coldplay and I find Rihanna's work with other people where she is the featured artists not that amazing. I grew tired of Live your life, All of the lights and Run this town very easily

Might be a grower. I can imagine a cool video.

Catchy but messy. Maybe it's a grower.

Really like it, I can't wait for the CD/iTunes quality version though. It's really catchy, Rihanna can really pull of rock when she wants to. She's super versatile. I think she's dabbled in almost every genre in a pop crossover by now.

A pleasant surprise by both artists (granted that I haven't liked any Coldplay song since 'Viva La Vida' and I didn't like WFL that much either).It sounds smooth and it flows well until a certain point.If it was shorter, it would be more enjoyable, because it gets boring after the 2nd chorus, but it's a great song with a good arrangement that I enjoyed

As a Coldplay fan but not a Rihanna one, I quite like this. An unusual collaboration but Rihanna's voice sounds great. In fact it doesn't really sound much like a conventional Coldplay track.

As others have said, it sounds messy but I think it could be a grower.

Sounds a bit unfinished and Rihanna's voice sounds really odd. But I love the beat and their voices to blend well together. I like it more than I liked We Found Love on the first listen...

Live Your Life is my favourite Rihanna song!!!

Is this going to be a single then?

I like it, although I'd probably find it hard not to like a Coldplay song. It should get even better with a few more listens.

It's growing on me. Part of me wonders if it would have been better suited to Nicki Minaj.

Rihanna just doesn't stop. Really surprising people can still buy her music as it all sounds the same to me.
