'Fix You' was inspired by Martin's wish to continue helping Paltrow get through her grief.

Martin and Paltrow married in December 2003.

As their relationship grew closer, Martin and Paltrow would listen to Coldplay's album Parachutes, especially the uplifting song 'Everything's Not Lost,' to help her process the loss of her father. In September 2021, the song was ranked number 392 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the ' 500 Greatest Songs of All Time'.Ĭoldplay lead singer Chris Martin met American actress Gwyneth Paltrow in late October 2002, three weeks after the death of her father, television director Bruce Paltrow. The song has been performed at memorials such as by Coldplay at the One Love Manchester benefit concert in 2017. The hopeful message of the song, and its two-part acoustic/anthemic arrangement, was critically acclaimed. The track is built around an organ accompanied by piano and guitar in the first half and an alternative rock style in the second half featuring electric guitar, bass and drums. The song was started by Chris Martin to comfort his then-wife, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he met in late 2002 after her father died. Promo singles were released for the UK and US. The song reached number 18 in the United States Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks. It was released on 5 September 2005 as the second single from X&Y and reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart. It was written by all four members of the band for their third studio album, X&Y (2005). ' Fix You' is a song by British rock band Coldplay.
