Coldplay started in Britain in 1996. Since then, they have released many swoon-worthy and perfectly choreographed songs that hit the spot for wedding micro-moments.
Enjoy my list of Coldplay love songs that could be used as a first dance song, a processional song, or whenever you want on your wedding day.

Coldplay Love Songs List
My Universe
(with BTS)
Released in 2021 on the album Music Of The Spheres
A great song to play as a background song during cocktail hour or dinner. It is a song about a guy who thinks his girl is his whole world and brightens his days.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
And I (I) just want (just want) to put you first And you (you), you are (you are) my universe And you make my world light up inside
A Sky Full Of Stars
Released in 2014 on the album Ghost Stories
The song starts as a piano ballad but then turns into Coldplay’s first EDM hit. Makes a perfect dance song or recessional song. It is a song about giving yourself to the one you love.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
You’re a sky full of stars Such a heavenly view You’re such a heavenly view
A Message
Released in 2005 on the album X&Y
A Message is a song for lovers who don’t have a fairytale love relationship. If you have gone through tough times and are better together, then this is a song to tell your story. It is a song letting the listener know that you can accept love into your life and be with someone who loves you back.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
My song is love My song is love I know I’m on fire for you Clearly, you don’t have to be alone
Us Against The World
Released in 2011 on the album Mylo Xyloto
A good song to show the oneness of the wedding couple. The song is about the struggles in life outside of the relationship and how it’s Us Against The World.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Through chaos as it swirls It’s us against the world
The Scientist
Released in 2002 on the album A Rush of Blood to the Head
The song is about a man who gets too caught up in his work and neglects his lover and he wants to get back to giving her the love she deserves.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I had to find you Tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart
A song about a guy who cannot stop thinking about a girl and how she must be the one because of it.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
This, I guess Is to tell you you’re chosen out from the rest
Reign Of Love
Released in 2014 on the album This Is Where I Leave You (Soundtrack)
A great song for the processional – the song playing as the bride walks down the aisle. The song is about love taking you over in every way and using it to get through life’s journey.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Reign of love By the church, we’re waiting Reign of love My knees go praying
Parachutes
Released in 2000 on the album Parachutes
A short song if you want to accentuate a quick wedding micro-moment with a song. It is a song about telling someone that you love them and as a metaphor, you will weather any storm to be with them.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I’ll be round I’ll be loving you always Always
Viva La Vida
Released in 2008 on the album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends
Viva La Vida is Spanish for “Love Live Life”. Viva La Vida is Coldplay’s only song to reach the Billboard Hot 100. Probably the most recognized Coldplay song for those who are not Coldplay followers.
The song is an interpretation of King Louis’s last speech before his death and how he ruled but did not have his people following him at the end.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Once you’d gone, there was never Never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world
Magic
Released in 2014 on the album Ghost Stories
The song is about a couple who come together and fall apart. Not the perfect love song for weddings but it takes magic to bring them together.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Call it magic Call it true Call it magic When I’m with you
Yellow
Released in 2000 on the album Parachutes
Yellow makes for a great processional, recessional, or ceremony accent song. It is a song about how everything in the world he loves is the color yellow which includes his lover.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I came along I wrote a song for you And all the things you do And it was called yellow
Fix You
Released in 2005 on the album X&Y
A song about a broken soul in a relationship and let them know to please come home so that you can mend them.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
High up above or down below When you’re too in love to let it go If you never try you’ll never know Just what you’re worth
Coldplay concert 2023
Sparks
Released in 2000 on the album Parachutes
A song to play for walking down the aisle. The song sings about dedicating yourself to the one you love.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
My heart is yours It’s you that I hold on to That’s what I do
Something Just Like This
(The Chainsmokers & Coldplay)
Released in 2017 on the album Memories…Do Not Open
A great mid-tempo song to play as a background song while guests are eating or during cocktail hour. The song is about not wanting a superhero or a fairytale romance, just someone that she can love and kiss every day.
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I’m not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts Some superhero Some fairytale bliss Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss
