notes
A bright, plucked arpeggio drives the drop, layered with Coldplay's guitar and piano for a stadium-scale hybrid sound. Inferred by ear; no confirmed patch details exist. Instrument choice is approximated from the big-room/tropical EDM production norm of this era, documented across countless producer interviews: Xfer Serum or Native Instruments Massive stacked into a lead over a sine sub, not a documented per-song patch sheet.
