Meanwhile, the band have admitted to the influence of Mystic‘s ‘Ritmo de la Noche’ upon ‘Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’, according to the Huffington Post. A spokesperson for the band said that they insisted on crediting the song’s writers. They said: “Allen and Anderson [writers of ‘Ritmo’] are credited as writers on ‘Every Teardop Is A Waterfall’. Chris was inspired to write the song after watching the film Biutiful by Alejandro González Iñárritu. In the film, there is a nightclub scene in which a track [‘Ritmo de la Noche’] is playing in the background, based on [Peter Allen’s song] ‘I Go To Rio’.”
