"U.F.O"
Song

"U.F.O." is a song by British alternative rock band Coldplay and the fifth track off Mylo Xyloto, the band's fifth studio album.[1]. The song was first mentioned upon unveiling the tracklist for Mylo Xyloto on September 9, 2011 after the album was officially completed.[2]. It was released along with the album on October 24. The song basses itself around the Mylo Xyloto (song) melody, the main guitar riff reprising the 4-note structure.

Q magazine published in their preview of Mylo Xyloto:[3]

"Harking back to the title track of their debut album, U.F.O is a melancholic interlude, Chris Martin's acoustic plucks joined by the swirl of strings halfway through, resembling a more saccharine take on Radiohead's Faust Arp. The escapism-themed lyrics ("let's fly/ split the sky...") explain the title, just in case you were wondering if Chris Martin was about to grow a beard and start picketing outside Area 51 with Robbie Williams."
