"I was chuckling about that, when this melody came, 'drinks on me, drinks on me', then the rest of the song came out. I thought I'd like to have a song called 'Drinks on Me' where you sit on the side of a club and buy everyone drinks because you're so fucking cool," Martin recalled. According to Martin, the original kernel was that he "was listening to Flo Rida or something", and he thought, "it's such a shame that Coldplay could never have one of those late-night club songs, like " Turn Down for What". Martin corroborated Berryman's story about the band protesting him singing, "Drinks on me, drinks on me" in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Martin's longtime friend Beyoncé was asked to sing on the song, and she accepted the request. According to Berryman, lead singer Chris Martin originally wanted the song to be a party song with the lyrics "drinks on me, drinks on me", but his bandmates didn't think that would go well with their fans. The song was debuted on Annie Mac's BBC radio show on 30 November 2015. It also featured Indian Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor in a brief role. A music video for the song was released on 29 January 2016 and features Coldplay in various cities in India, with Beyoncé performing in some scenes. In the US, with the Seeb remix, the song reached number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Hymn for the Weekend" has reached number six on the UK Singles Chart and also reached the top twenty in countries such as Switzerland, Ireland, France, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Italy and Spain. An indie R&B track, "Hymn for the Weekend" showcases the culture of India. It was written by the band's members ( Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion, and Chris Martin), while the production was handled by Rik Simpson, Avicii, Digital Divide, and Stargate. " Hymn for the Weekend" is a single by the British rock band Coldplay from their seventh studio album A Head Full of Dreams (2015), featuring uncredited vocals from American singer Beyoncé.
