The group performed a rendition of “Where Are Ü Now,” a collaboration between Skrillex and Diplo’s Jack Ü with vocals by Bieber, for BBC Radio 1’s [Live Lounge](http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01029mq) on Tuesday. Florence Welch slowed down the track, utilizing her stunning vocals to capture the emotion of the high-energy summer dance song.
