The video was filmed at the Herodion Theatre shortly after the British band’s performance at OAKA as part of their tour. Coldplay invited their Greek fans to participate in the clip through social media.

The footage focuses on the audience at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the video concludes with a view of illuminated Athens. In less than 24 hours, Coldplay’s video has garnered nearly 800,000 views.
During the filming at the Herodion, lead singer Chris Martin was notably enthusiastic and approachable, dancing, joking, and engaging with the crowd. He frequently checked if anyone needed water, as the heat was intense.
The atmosphere created was particularly friendly, with the band and the audience fully enjoying the experience.
The Greek audience sang “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love,” while the LED bracelets they wore blinked in rhythm with the song, creating a magical atmosphere.
After the recording ended, a visibly happy Chris Martin knelt on the stage, thanked the audience for their love and support, and kissed the Herodion’s floor, showing his respect for the unique venue, Greece, its history, and its culture.
