Background and release

On 9 June 2024, during the Music of the Spheres World Tour show at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece the band performed a preview of "All My Love" as "Biutyful" transition. [3] The song was later announced as the final single from their tenth studio album Moon Music and from their entire career by Chris Martin in an interview with Rolling Stone :

"All My Love" is really the final Coldplay single. After this, there’s no more singles, because we don’t want to do that. Of all of the songs that have dropped through really quickly, this is maybe the one that I just don’t understand how it happened. I’m so grateful for this song. I don’t know if and when it will connect with who or not, but for me, it’s a really important song. It’s like, after everything we’ve been through, you have all my love. That’s it. That’s how we feel about life and the world and our fans and our critics and everybody. I didn’t really have to do anything on that song. I just played it. I don’t know how to explain that. Even when I’m playing it now, I’m like: "how did that come through?". [4]

Composition

The song was written by the band members with John Metcalfe and produced by Max Martin, Oscar Holter, Bill Rahko, Daniel Green, Michael Ilbert and Ilya Salmanzadeh. [5] [6] The song also featured Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's son Moses Martin as songwriter. [7] The song was described as a piano ballad with Beatlesque sounds. [8] [9]

Music video

A lyric video shot on iPhone and directed by Chris Candy was made available on 4 October 2024 along with the single. [10] It features Chris Martin's alter ego Nigel Crisp, [11] who buys a set of red balloons and gives them away while passing through the streets of Las Vegas. [12] By the end of the day, he runs out of balloons and performs "All My Love" for karaoke at the dive bar Dino's. [12] Starring and paying tribute to American actor Dick Van Dyke, the official music video had its director's cut revealed on 6 December, [13] while a shorter version was released on 13 December for Van Dyke's 99th birthday. [13] Scenes were filmed by Spike Jonze and Mary Wigmore at his house in Malibu. [14]

Critical reception

Emma Harrison of Clash described the song as a "beautiful piano-driven song" with Elton John and the Beatles music inspiration. Although Harrison found the lyrics "a smidge earnest", she stated that "for some reason it works and who could deny Coldplay's enthusiasm for those all-important loved up vibes when they are so disarmingly charming".
