Sam Smith Drops Cover of Coldplay’s ‘Fix You’

Back in May, Sam Smith performed a very emotional cover of Coldplay’s “Fix You” as part of the iHeartRadio Living Room Series. On Sunday, July 5th, the superstar finally released their moving version of the chart topping track, so we can all stream the ballad on repeat.

Alongside a brief clip of the emotional, stripped-down performance, Sam Tweeted “Thank you @Coldplay for writing such a beautiful song.”

Before their performance, Smith gushed about their admiration for the track. “I love this song, and as soon as I heard it I was just reminded again of how much of a classic it is, I’ve never actually seen Chris Martin perform this live, but I really want to, because I’ve fallen in love with this song after singing it.” Smith recalled that the months of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic had found them at home, where they “really weirdly fallen in love with singing again. I’ve been singing so many different songs, songs that aren’t my own.”
