Square One

發行後在英國排行榜第1名，美國排行榜第1名。

You're in control is there anywhere you wanna go?

You're in control is there anything you wanna know?

The future's for discovering

The space in which we're travelling

From the top of the first page

To the end of the last page

From the start in your own way

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are.

Under the surface trying to break through

Deciphering the coins in you

I need a coin thats virtually in black

I'm on the top I can't get back

Whoah. Woah.

From the first line of the first page

To the end of the last page

You were looking

From the start in your own way

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter who you are

Oooh.

You just want somebody listening to what you say

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter who you are

Is there anybody out there who is lost and hurt and lonely too

Bleeding all your colours into one

And if you come undone as if you'd been run through

Some catapult it fired you

You wonder if your chance will ever come

And if you're stuck in square one. ^[1] 

在4座格萊美獎、4座全英音樂獎加持和兩張專輯累積全球1700萬張銷售之後，這張費時一年半籌劃而成的全新專輯《X&Y》，或許正是擄獲嬌妻-葛妮絲派特洛的秘密武器！

這次Coldplay的新專輯中除了自己獨特地風格外還會融入其他電子音樂等音樂元素。Coldplay為製作這張新專輯可謂煞費苦心，不但選擇在倫敦錄音，而且邀請Danton Supple和KenNelson等著名製作人來製作，相信這次Coldplay一定會給歌迷們一個驚喜。

專輯的封套的設計與1990年的一款電腦遊戲Teris很相像，這背後究竟藴藏了什麼特殊含義不得而知。不過最重要的是音樂本身，主唱Chris注入了無限傷感情緒，動人的嗓音唱着温柔的旋律，從而在Coldplay的歌曲中經常能體會出一種憂鬱的感覺。
