Did The Chainsmokers Plagiarise Themselves On Their New Single Feat. Coldplay?

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay debuted their new single live at the BRIT Awards. The single, ‘Something Just Like This’, is set to be released on 24 March, before the release of The Chainsmokers’ highly anticipated (hopefully) debut album Memories… Do Not Open, which is expected to be out on 7 April.

Listen to the song here:

As expected of both acts, the song features the usual over recapitulated lyrics and ever so indistinguishable beats. ‘Something Just Like This’, honestly, sounds exactly like something just like this. Have The Chainsmokers subconsciously plagiarised their own music or have they run out of ideas?

And it seems like even die-hard Coldplay fans are not buying it either:

Ah Coldplay, where art ye Glory Days?
