Just three weeks after the death of her father, actress Gwyneth Paltrow met Chris Martin, the lead singer of the group Coldplay. While the pair began dating and growing closer, they would often listen to Coldplay music, which became a source of comfort for Paltrow. The song “Fix You” was inspired by Martin’s longing to continue to help her through her grief, and even composed parts of it on a keyboard gifted to Paltrow by her late father.
All four members of Coldplay contributed to writing the song, drawing inspiration from “Grace Under Pressure” by Elbow and “Many Rivers to the Cross” by Jimmy Cliff. The song was included on their album X&Y and released as a promotional single.
Following the song’s release in September of 2005, Martin called “Fix You,” “probably the most important song we’ve ever written.”
On the UK singles chart, “Fix You” peaked at number four but stayed on the charts for more than 122 weeks. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at number 59 and also charted on Billboard’s Pop 100 and Hot Digital Songs. The song also charted in Australia and Ireland, as well as the UK and the United States.
Over the years, “Fix You” has been subject to widespread acclaim from music publications and critics. Rolling Stone included it in their list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time,” and Xfm included it on their list of “The Xfm Top 1000 Songs of All Time.”
A certified power ballad, “Fix You” has been included in multiple iconic performances and memorials. Coldplay performed the song at the One Love Manchester benefit concert in 2017 for victims of the Manchester bombing, and following Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ death, the band performed the song at a private service for the businessman.
