When asked about the song, bassist Berryman says"Our A & R man said it should be the first single. So we scrapped it." Frontman Chris Martin says "I was bathing my daughter and we were listening to I Am A Walrus, and I thought, Oh, you don't have to go, verse-chorus-verse-chorus, so I went in the next day and chopped out about three minutes. Then we added the strings, and this bit on the end. And then it was good."
