"All My Love" (stylised in all caps) is a song by British rock band Coldplay, from their tenth studio album, Moon Music. It was released as the record's third single on 4 October 2024 through Parlophone in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. Chris Martin has stated that it is to be the last proper single of the band's career.[1][2]

Background and release

[edit]

On 9 June 2024, during the Music of the Spheres World Tour show at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, the band performed a preview of "All My Love" as "Biutyful" transition.[3] The song was later announced as the final single from their tenth studio album Moon Music and from their entire career by Chris Martin in an interview with Rolling Stone:

"All My Love" is really the final Coldplay single. After this, there’s no more singles, because we don’t want to do that. Of all of the songs that have dropped through really quickly, this is maybe the one that I just don’t understand how it happened. I’m so grateful for this song. I don’t know if and when it will connect with who or not, but for me, it’s a really important song. It’s like, after everything we’ve been through, you have all my love. That’s it. That’s how we feel about life and the world and our fans and our critics and everybody. I didn’t really have to do anything on that song. I just played it. I don’t know how to explain that. Even when I’m playing it now, I’m like: "how did that come through?".[4]

Composition

[edit]

The song was written by all band members, with additional contribution from John Metcalfe and Moses Martin.[5] Production was carried out by Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Bill Rahko, Daniel Green, Michael Ilbert and Ilya Salmanzadeh.[6][7] It has been described as a piano ballad with Beatlesque sounds,[8] drawing comparisons to works by Elton John as well.[9]

Music video

[edit]

A lyric video shot on iPhone and directed by Chris Candy was made available on 4 October 2024.[10] It follows Chris Martin's alter ego Nigel Crisp,[11] who buys a set of red balloons and gives them away while passing through the streets of Las Vegas.[12] By evening, he runs out of balloons and sings "All My Love" for karaoke at the Dino's dive bar.[12] The official video is dedicated to American actor Dick Van Dyke, who handled production alongside his wife Arlene Silver.[13] Its director's cut, led by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore, came out on 6 December.[14] Coldplay published a shorter version directed by Crisp on 13 December, celebrating Van Dyke's 99th birthday.[15] The alter ego also makes an appearance on the Pnau remix, which was directed by Candy and released on 27 December.[16]

Critical reception

[edit]

Emma Harrison of Clash described the song as a "beautiful piano-driven song" with Elton John and the Beatles music inspiration. Although Harrison found the lyrics "a smidge earnest", she stated that "for some reason it works and who could deny Coldplay's enthusiasm for those all-important loved up vibes when they are so disarmingly charming".[9]
