"Champion of the World" is a song by British rock band Coldplay from their eighth studio album Everyday Life. It was first released on 20 November 2019 along with "Daddy" in anticipation for the record.[3] Despite being sent to selected radio stations in the United States and Italy, the song was not marketed as an official single.[4]
Background
"Champion of the World" is the seventh track of the Sunset part of the album and was written by the all members of Coldplay.[5] The song contains elements from "Los Angeles, Be Kind" by Scott Hutchison's Owl John, as explained by Chris Martin: "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".[3]
Music video
On 25 February 2020, a music video directed by Cloé Bailly was made available on Coldplay's YouTube channel. It was filmed in Los Angeles and expressed the "magic power that kids have to switch off from reality and jump into their own world.[6]
Reception
While reviewing Everyday Life (2019), Ella Kemp from the British GQ declared that "Champion of the World" was the best song from the album.[7] Similarly, Jenesaispop ranked it among the best tracks of 2019.[8]
