The song was written by all Coldplay members, Karnivool guitarist Drew Goddard, Kuti and Stromae, while production was handled by the Dream Team. It is the second release by the band to feature profanity ("same fucking blood" appears in the final verses of the song), with the first being the remix of "Lost!" featuring Jay-Z, although this marks the first instance of Chris Martin swearing.
