Behalve het emotionele ‘Daddy’ dropt Coldplay nóg een track van het alweer achtste album ‘Everyday Life’. Het nummer heet ‘Champion Of The World’, waarmee de band weer een vrolijker toon aanslaat. Het is deels geschreven door Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison. “Scott had a song called ‘Los Angeles Be Kind,’ which I love,” zegt Chris Martin in een statement. “When I first heard it, I thought it was going to go one way; but it went another. Anyway ‘Champion of the World’ is the song that came from following the other path, and that’s why Scott is a co-writer on this song. Today is also his birthday. So happy birthday Scott and thank you for your beautiful music, wherever you are.”
