Coldplay released Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall in 2011 as the lead single from their fifth album, Mylo Xyloto, and it became an international hit built around its anthemic, stadium-ready chorus. The song's hopeful tone helped it stay in rotation on radio and in live sets long after its chart run, and short clips of the chorus later spread through soundboards and video edits. Creators still reach for it because the melody is instantly recognisable and carries optimism without needing context.
