Rihanna teamed up with musical heavy hitters Coldplay for a song that is sure to be a hit. "Princess of China" leaked on the web Monday afternoon and will be one of the tracks on the band's upcoming album Mylo Xyloto, out Oct. 25.

In the song, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin sings, "Once upon a time we fell apart/ You were holding in your hands the two halves of my heart." RiRi follows that up by belting out, "Once upon a time we were burning bright/ Now all we ever seem to do is fight."

The fans seem to be loving the song. One RiRi admirer tweeted: 

"@rihanna Sounds dope on this Coldplay track! "Princess of China"....love it."

Meanwhile, Coldplay fans are getting a head start on buying the highly anticipated album. The band tweeted: 

"Amazing to see Mylo Xyloto at Number 1 in the main Amazon UK album chart a week before it's even released."

Chris' wife Gwyneth Paltrow is also super psyched for the new songs. She tweeted a few months ago, writing jokingly, "Who do I have to bang to get an advance copy of the new @coldplayalbum? I mean, really."
