Reviews

[edit]

"Feels Like I'm Falling in Love" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Andrew Unterberger from Billboard described the song as "Coldplay generally doing what they do best: love songs with moody verses and blood-rush choruses that you can remember after a single listen".[7] Stereogum's Chris DeVille commented that "Despite the involvement of a pop mastermind like Max Martin, who also worked on 2021's crossover-minded Music of the Spheres, [it] comes off a bit more like mid-2000s imperial Coldplay with a bit more sparkle".[8] Writing for Uproxx, Derrick Rossignol praised the work as a "lush and uplifting number".[9]

[edit]

The track was nominated for International Song of the Year at the Los 40 Music Awards,[10] while its music video received nods for Best Rock Video and Video for Good at the MTV Video Music Awards.[11] The lyric video was shortlisted in the Best Pop Video and Best Animation in a Video categories at the UK Music Video Awards, winning the latter.[12] Deezer included "Feels Like I'm Falling Love" on its "Best Pop Songs of 2024" list at number seven.[13] Apple Music (21) and Dig!
