In 2011, Coldplay released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto. It was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 57th Grammy Awards. The album was further promoted by three singles: " Magic", the lead single, released in March " A Sky Full of Stars", released in May and " True Love", released in August.

This was due to the personal turmoil Chris Martin experienced from seperating from his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. This album was quiter with a more ambient sound. Although the album had the band experimenting with electronic music, like on Mylo Xyloto, that album was more upbeat. It was heavily promoted by the band and Parlophone in the lead-up to its release, with an accompanying prime time TV special, a visual album, and a special six-date promotional tour of the album, as well as various appearances on television and radio. It features guest producers Avicii, Timbaland and Madeon, and the band's frequent collaborator Jon Hopkins. The album was recorded by the band throughout 20 at the band's purpose-built home studios in London, England, and in Los Angeles. It is the first album by the band in North America under Atlantic, after Coldplay were transferred from Capitol Records in 2013, following the purchase of EMI and its assets by the Universal Music Group in 2012. The album was released by Atlantic Records in North America on. Co-produced by the band with Paul Epworth along with returning Mylo Xyloto producers Daniel Green and Rik Simpson, it was released by Parlophone on.
