Coldplay - champion of the world, 2019

"This song serves as encouragement for those struggling with everyday life who feel they are not functioning properly. Though at times, vocalist Chris Martin fears his dream will never work, he urges himself to persevere. Then one day, he will "stand before conquistadors" and become "champion of the world." "Champion of the World" was recorded as a tribute to Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchinson, who struggled with everyday life. He eventually killed himself in May 2018 after a lengthy battle with depression and anxiety. The music was inspired by his solo track "Los Angeles, Be Kind," recorded under his solo moniker of Owl John. Chris Martin had previously covered the song at a charity event with the LA Philharmonic. The song was released on November 20, 2019, on what would have been Hutchinson's 38th birthday."
