Coldplay – Princess Of China (feat. Rihanna) by DJ ERM
Essentially, “Princess of China” is the most epic breakup song in recent memory: after Chris Martin warbles, “Once upon a time, we fell apart/You hold it in your hands, like two halves in your heart,” the verse is washed away in a sea of sinister synthesizer and pounding “Woh-oh-oh’s.” Rihanna then arrives and begins mixing her medieval metaphors, singing, “I could’ve been a princess, you’d be a king/Could’ve had a castle on a ring.” (Billboard)
