The band had released teasers on their social media accounts leading up to the video release.{{cite web|title=#UpAndUp|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BFZTd7UHdWL/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/BFZTd7UHdWL |archive-date=2021-12-24 |url-access=limited|website=Instagram.com|publisher=Coldplay|access-date=17 May 2016}}{{cbignore}} The music video directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia was released on 16 May 2016. The video has been described on the band's website as a "poignant, surrealist montage which alludes to contemporary issues."{{cite web|title=Watch the new Up&Up video|url=http://coldplay.com/watch-the-new-upup-video/|website=Coldplay.com|publisher=Coldplay|access-date=17 May 2016|archive-date=22 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160522185558/http://coldplay.com/watch-the-new-upup-video/|url-status=live}} The video itself consists of over-layered visuals, and has the band playing the song in various landscapes and locations. One of the locations used is the Croatian mountain range of Biokovo, upon which Chris Martin appears to be seated.{{cite web|url=http://www.vijesti.rtl.hr/scena/1945223/chris-martin-tijelom-prekrio-biokovo-hrvatska-u-novom-spotu-coldplaya/|title=Chris Martin tijelom 'prekrio' Biokovo: Hrvatska u novom spotu Coldplaya|language=hr|first=Vedran|last=Harča|publisher=Vijesti.hr|date=24 May 2016|access-date=1 June 2016|archive-date=5 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160605043046/http://www.vijesti.rtl.hr/scena/1945223/chris-martin-tijelom-prekrio-biokovo-hrvatska-u-novom-spotu-coldplaya/|url-status=live}} Heyman and Mugglia have been credited for their creative use of stock footage throughout the video.{{Cite web |date=2017-06-22 |title=5 Creative Music Videos Made With Stock Footage |url=https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/stock-footage-music-videos-inspiration |access-date=2024-07-08 |website=The Shutterstock Blog |language=en-US}}

Scenes and visual effects for the video were created by GloriaFX, a Ukraine-based visual effects company, headed by Anatolii Kuzmytskyi in Ukraine and by Max Colt in the US. Martin called it "one of the best videos ever made".{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/coldplay-new-video-for-upup-sees-chris-martin-become-a-musical-giant-a7032636.html|title=Chris Martin comments the Up&Up video|website=Independent.co.uk|date=16 May 2016|access-date=17 September 2017|archive-date=6 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171006173752/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/coldplay-new-video-for-upup-sees-chris-martin-become-a-musical-giant-a7032636.html|url-status=live}} Scenes include "a volcano that pops out popcorn, a baby that flies on the wing of a plane, and skydivers who jump into a bowl of pasta". Some scenes were cut from the video to make it shorter, including a man with a volcano in place of his head.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

The band's lead singer, Chris Martin feels that this was one of best videos to be made. He says ''The video is — I'm going to drop the mic here and say — I think it's one of the best videos people have made. Even if you take the music away. That's my point".

Billboard{{'s}} Chris Payne described the music video as "appropriately epic" with "a heady, shoot-for-the-stars type of statement".{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7370573/coldplay-up-up-video-head-full-dreams-chris-martin|title=Coldplay Shares Otherworldly 'Up&Up' Video|magazine=Billboard|first=Chris|last=Payne|date=16 May 2016|access-date=1 June 2016}} Carl Williott of Idolator, who was reserved towards the song itself, felt that its video "elevates it thanks to some artfully trippy visuals".{{cite web|url=http://www.idolator.com/7633644/coldplay-up-and-up-video|title=Coldplay's "Up&Up" Video Elevates The Song: Watch|publisher=Idolator|first=Carl|last=Williot|date=16 May 2016|access-date=1 June 2016|archive-date=11 July 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230711044817/https://www.idolator.com/7633644/coldplay-up-and-up-video|url-status=live}} MTV UK called it "weird and wonderful in every respect" and "magical yet poignant".{{Cite web|url=https://www.mtv.co.uk/news/alytl2/please-take-a-moment-out-of-your-day-to-watch-coldplays-upup-music-video|title=Please take a moment out of your day to watch Coldplay's Up&Up music video|access-date=17 May 2016|publisher=MTV UK|archive-date=18 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160518221109/http://www.mtv.co.uk/coldplay/news/please-take-a-moment-out-of-your-day-to-watch-coldplays-upup-music-video|url-status=live}}
