Songfacts®:

  • Mylo Xyloto is a concept album, which according to frontman Chris Martin, is "based on a love story with a happy ending." In this heart-pumping epic song, everything turns out for the best. The Coldplay singer told Music Week: "Well, I think we wanted to do an album this time with a happy ending and I think we've actually done it, which we never thought we'd do. For whatever reason it is, it's happened and that was very late in the day and it's nice that song 'cos you just hit everything as hard as possible – which for a band like Coldplay is a very pleasurable thing."
