Viva la Vida was released by Coldplay in 2008 as the title track of their fourth album, and it became one of the band's most widely recognised songs. Its historical, king-themed lyrics and baroque-pop arrangement helped it cross from radio into films, adverts and countless online edits. On soundboards and social video, the chorus is often lifted on its own because it is instantly recognisable even without context, and its triumphant tone still suits celebrations, comebacks and reflective montages years after its release.
