The story behind the song

"Fix You" was written by all four members of Coldplay for their third studio album, X&Y (2005). Frontman Chris Martin developed the song to comfort his then-wife after her father died. The anthemic track builds around an organ accompanied by piano and acoustic guitar, developing into a spirited second half with group vocals, drums, and strings. This powerful ballad and its two-part arrangement were critically acclaimed.
