Ten months and a few more stops on their ongoing tour later, the seemingly throwaway moment is now immortalized in "Jupiter" (stylized as "JUPiTER")—one of Coldplay's tracks from their tenth studio album.

Some concert attendees left comments expressing their joy over being able to be part of a Coldplay song.
Moon Music was released on October 4, 2024, featuring a captivating collection of 10 tracks. This album serves as a sequel to Vol I: From Earth With Love, which debuted in 2021.
"Jupiter" is the sixth track on the album and takes its name from the song's female protagonist who craves authenticity and the freedom to love. The first verse introduces Jupiter as, "Jupiter, named for a planet, wasn't free to be/ To be exactly who she ought to be/She saw in colors others couldn't see/Jupiter, named for a planet, would pretend to be/Somebody way less extraordinary/Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me."
The chants come into play during the chorus of the song which goes, "I love who I love (I love who I love)/Oh yeah, I love who I love (I love who I love)/ I love who I love," the message from above/ Is never give up, love who you love."
Two days after the launch of Moon Music, Coldplay released Full Moon, a deluxe edition of the album that features 10 more tracks.
