About This Track
'Higher Power' finds Coldplay leaning into a bright, unguarded euphoria. Chris Martin writes from a place of gratitude and connection, the lyrics built around the metaphor of electrical current: the addressee sparks joy, circuits through him, leaves him buzzing night after night. The repetition of 'I'm so happy that I'm alive / Happy I'm alive at the same time as you' anchors the song in simple, present-tense wonder rather than grand romantic gesture. The Alyx Ander remix extends the original into a six-minute electronic rework, released in 2021. Where the album version leans pop, the remix pushes the production into club territory, the chorus hook stretched and looped to fit a longer dancefloor arc. The joy Martin sings about becomes structural: the track designed to keep bodies moving every second, every hour, just as the lyric promises.
"Higher Power" is a single by Coldplay, from the album Higher Power (Alyx Ander Remix) - Single, released 4th July 2021. The track is 3:31 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Coldplay.
