Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (often referred to as ETIAW), is the first track to be announced as part of Coldplay's fifth album era but is not known whether it is expected to be included on the fifth Coldplay album, due for release in 2011.
It has emerged that Chris Martin collaborated with I Go To Rio tunesmiths Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson - whose original song was sampled on the dance track.
The duo have a writing credit on Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall and Coldplay wrote on their website: "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall contains elements of I Go To Rio written by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson."
"Chris was inspired to write the song after watching the film Biutiful by Alejandro Gonzalez. In the film, there is a nightclub scene - during which a track is playing in the background, based on I Go To Rio by Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson. As a result, Allen and Anderson are also credited as writers on Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.
Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall was made available digitally at 12pm (BST) on Friday 3rd June, except in the UK where it was released at midnight on June 4th.
A statement on Coldplay's official site read: Dear friends, we're about to play a bunch of summer festivals so it's as good a time as any to put out a new song. 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall' will be available digitally on Friday 3rd June at 12pm (BST), except in the UK where it'll come out on the stroke of midnight between Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June. We'll also stream it here on Friday and give it a run out at Rock Im Park. Love Will.
The announcement follows a number of teaser clues posted on the band's Twitter and Facebook pages.

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
I turn the music up I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
And all the kids they dance all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up I got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I'm in the black maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
And we saw oh this light I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
So you can hurt hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
Oh
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
