Coldplay credit every song on Everyday Life collectively to Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion, the band's standard practice across their catalog. Longtime collaborators Rik Simpson and Bill Rahko anchored production alongside Dan Green, with string arrangers John Metcalfe and Davide Rossi shaping the album's orchestral textures. The double-album structure, split into 'Sunrise' and 'Sunset' halves, leans on guest contributors such as Stromae and Le Trio Joubran on 'Arabesque,' Femi Kuti's horns, Tiwa Savage's backing vocals on 'Eko,' and Jacob Collier as co-writer and backing vocalist.
Everyday Life, released November 22, 2019, is Coldplay's eighth studio album, a double album structured with a morning side (Sunrise) and evening side (Sunset). The album is musically eclectic, drawing on gospel, jazz, flamenco, and Middle Eastern influences, and was notably politically engaged, addressing racism ('Trouble in Town'), gun violence, and global displacement. Released digitally with limited promotion and no tour, it debuted at number one in the UK and multiple other markets.
