"Christmas Lights" is a song by British rock band Coldplay released on 1 December 2010, as a digital download single.[1] According to lead singer Chris Martin, it was written in December 2008.[2] The morning after he began work on the single, he performed a segment of the still in-progress song for Steve Kroft during an interview for 60 Minutes that aired on February 8, 2009.[2] Described by the band as "a mid-tempo number" in the key of G major, "Christmas Lights" was released to generally positive reviews. It later got named as one of the best Christmas songs of the 21st century by Cleveland.[3] The cover art was designed by Yu Matsuoka Pol.[4]
