Lizzo’s 12-song album, Special, which is her first since her 2019 breakthrough album Cuz I Love You, was released yesterday, and fans have been savoring it. According to Lizzo, the record is all about “love,” and in a recent Apple Music 1 interview with Zane Lowe, that was made quite evident.

During the interview, Lizzo and Zane talked about “Coldplay,” the last song on Special. The song, which is named after the band, uses an accelerated version of “Yellow” as a sample. Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay, gave Lizzo a FaceTime call while they were chatting, and the two cracked jokes about what Lizzo meant by the 2000 song.

Lizzo discussed the inspiration behind the song before Chris interrupted the discussion. “I’ve never written a song as literal as this one. “Everything I say in the song is true,” she continued, adding that before any recordings were made, producer Ricky Reed let her speak freely over the sample. “So yeah, I remember that we pretended to be married when we went to Tulum,” I said to myself as I sat in the booth. I spoke on that loop for maybe twenty to thirty minutes. “After that, I felt extremely vulnerable and raw about it, but he reached out to me again and said, ‘Hey, all those words you wrote, I kind of turned it into a song,'” quoted Lizzo.

Martin spoke on FaceTime about how delighted he was that Lizzo had included “Yellow” in her song and how “wonderful” it was to witness her “taking over” the music business. Then, Lizzo told Chris where the song came from: “I was with somebody and I was just looking at the stars and I was with him and I was singing [“Yellow”] and tears just were coming to my eyes.” Then Martin joked that Lizzo was now using his hit as a “hookup song.”

“If someone had told me 22 years ago, you know, one day Lizzo’s gonna make out to this song sped up, I’d be like, OK, great,” he stated. It’s now Lizzo’s go-to tune for hookups. That’s positive. Adding, “Baby-making music, baby!” Lizzo concurred.
