"Speed of Sound" is a song by British rock band Coldplay. It was written by all members of the band for their third studio album, X&Y (2005). Constructed around a piano and guitar riff , the song builds into a huge, synthesiser-heavy chorus.
Coldplay announced details about X&Y in March 2004 while the album was being recorded. Their initial plans were to stay out of the public eye throughout the year. Lead singer Chris Martin stated, "We really feel that we have to be away for a while and we certainly won't release anything this year, because I think people are a bit sick of us."
Coldplay collaborated with Australian-British singer Kylie Minogue (pictured in 2018) for charity single "Lhuna" in 2008. Coldplay worked with producer Brian Eno (pictured in 2015) for the albums Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends and Mylo Xyloto. "Lost+", a remix of "Lost!" features vocals from rapper Jay-Z (pictured in 2010).
Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" was also inspired by Martin's experience and awe at becoming a father, being the lead single for the band's X&Y album.
