After independently releasing an extended play, Safety (1998), Coldplay signed with Parlophone in 1999. The band's debut album, Parachutes (2000), included their breakthrough single "Yellow" and received a Brit Award for British Album of the Year, a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album and a Mercury Prize nomination. Their second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won the same accolades and included "Clocks", which earned a Grammy Award for Record of the Year. In 2005, they released X&Y; the album was marked by a troubled production and various delays, completing what the band considered a trilogy as well. Coldplay's fourth effort, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), received a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and their first Album of the Year nomination, while its title track was the first British group song to reach number-one in the United Kingdom and United States simultaneously in the 21st century. Both X&Y and Viva la Vida were the best-selling albums of their respective years, topping the charts in more than 30 countries each.
Since then, Coldplay further diversified their sound with the subsequent releases Mylo Xyloto (2011), Ghost Stories (2014), A Head Full of Dreams (2015), Everyday Life (2019) and Music of the Spheres (2021). Each album presented a unique theme and added new musical styles to the band's original repertoire, including electronica, ambient, pop, R&B, funk, classical, jazz fusion, and progressive rock. They are also known for "euphoric" live performances, which NME said are when the band "come alive and make the most sense". To celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2018, a career-spanning documentary directed by Mat Whitecross was premiered at selected cinemas, featuring previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage.
With 100 million albums sold worldwide, Coldplay are the most successful band of the 21st century and one of the best-selling music acts of all time. According to Fuse, they are also the sixth-most awarded group in history. Other notable achievements include the seventh-highest-grossing tour of all time, three of the 50 highest-selling albums ever in the United Kingdom, the most number-one records in the country without ever missing the top, most nominations and wins for a band in Brit Awards history, and becoming the first British group to debut at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. Coldplay are considered one of the most influential bands of the 21st century as well, with Forbes describing them as the standard for the current alternative scene. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included A Rush of Blood to the Head on their "200 Definitive Albums" list and the single "Yellow" is part of their "Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" exhibition for being one of the most successful and important recordings in the industry. In spite of their popularity and impact, Coldplay have earned a reputation as polarizing music icons.

Up & Up
Coldplay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
Up and up
Up and up
Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
Waiting for a chance to pick on your orange field
Up and up
See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
See a bird soaring high above the flood
It’s in your blood
It’s in your blood
Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
Up and up
Up and up, saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
Up and up
Up and up
How can people suffer, how can people part?
How can people struggle
How can people break your heart?
Break your heart
Yes I wanna grow, yes I wanna feel
Yes I wanna know
Show me how to heal it up
Heal it up
See the forest there in every seed
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Just need love, just need love
When the going is rough, saying
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Close your mind and take a risk
You can "it's mine" and clench your fist
Or see each other as a gift
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Gonna get it, get it together somehow
Gonna get it, get it together and flower
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
We're gonna get it, get it together I know
Gonna get it, get it together and flow
Gonna get it, get it together and go
Up and up and up
Fixing up a car to drive in it again
When you’re in pain
When you think you’ve had enough
Don’t ever give up
Don’t ever give up
The song "Up&Up" by Coldplay is a hopeful anthem that speaks of rising above life's difficulties. It starts with the lines "Fixing up a car to drive in it again, searching for the water hoping for the rain", where the band is perhaps trying to fix something that is broken, similar to how we try to mend ourselves after going through tough situations. The lines "Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal, waiting for a chance to pick on your orange field", suggest that one has to work relentlessly to get what they want.
The chorus "We're gonna get it, get it together right now, gonna get it, get it together somehow" symbolizes the band's determination to come through and pushes the listener to move forward to achieve their dreams. The lines, "Yes, I wanna grow, yes, I wanna feel, yes, I wanna know, show me how to heal it up, heal it up" suggests the desire for growth and healing.
Moreover, the song celebrates love and the beauty of life. The lines "See the forest, there in every seed, angels in the marble waiting to be freed, just need love, just need love", suggests that love is the solution to most of life's challenges.

It’s in your blood
Something that is innate, a part of who you are

We're gonna get it, get it together right now
Having determination to achieve success and unity in the present moment

See the forest there in every seed
Recognizing potential or possibility within something small or insignificant
Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
Finding beauty within something that is not yet fully realized or revealed
Just need love, just need love
Suggesting that love is all we truly need to thrive and be happy
And you can say what is, or fight for it
Choosing between accepting the current circumstances or striving to change it
Close your mind and take a risk
Taking a chance despite the uncertainty or potential danger involved
You can "it's mine" and clench your fist
Holding onto possessions, beliefs, or values aggressively
Or see each other as a gift
Viewing people as valuable, rather than objects to be possessed
Don’t ever give up
Persisting in the face of difficulty or adversity
