Yellow was released on 26 June 2000 on Parlophone as the second single from Coldplay's debut album Parachutes, after Shiver. The album followed on 10 July 2000, with Yellow as track 5. Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion wrote it, and Ken Nelson produced it with the band. The recording is built on Martin's acoustic guitar and Jonny Buckland's electric guitar, so a piano version is an arrangement of that band recording. The first words of the lyric are look at the stars, but the title of the song is Yellow. Chris Martin has said that the song began outside Rockfield Studios in Wales, when the producer Ken Nelson told the band to look at the stars. Martin went back in, picked up his acoustic guitar and built the song from that line, singing the word stars in a high voice that he calls a Neil Young impression. He has said he took the title from the Yellow Pages, and asked what the song is about he has answered: just someone awesome. The single reached No. 4 in the UK, the band's first top-five hit, and it was the lead single in the United States, where it peaked at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100. Parachutes reached No. 51 on the Billboard 200 and won the 2002 Grammy for best alternative music album. The video is one continuous shot with no cuts. It has passed one billion views on YouTube, and Coldplay opened the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show with the song.
