Coldplay在英国时间12月1日晚上8点（北京时间12月2日凌晨2点左右）在官网上发布了新歌Christmas Lights。原本以为会是首为圣诞写的欢乐颂歌之类，没想到实际却讲述一个伤感的故事。喜欢的女孩离开了自己，走在大街上，看着节日的喜气气氛，自己的内心却无比的寒冷和寂寞。所有烦恼都会烟消云散吗？圣诞的灯火会一直点亮么？最后的转折也未免太快了点，没有高潮的感觉。

试听和MV如下

歌词如下
Christmas night, another fight
Tears we’ve cried are flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood

I took my feet to Oxford street
Trying to right or wrong
Just walk away those windows
But I can’t believe she’s gone

When your still waiting for the snowfall
Doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all

A group of candles on me are flickering
Oh they flicker and they flow
And I am up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope
And like some drunken in this city
I am go singing out of tune
Singing how I always loved you darling
And how I always will

But when your still waiting for the snowfall
Doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas Lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Ohh Christmas Lights keep shining on

Those Christmas Lights
Light up the street
Maybe they bring here back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Ohh Christmas Lights keep shining on

Ohh Christmas Lights
Light up the streets
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas Lights keep shining on
