One of the forces that made Chris Martin want to create this song was listening to “Ritmo De La Noche” by Lorcha while he was watching a nightclub scene in Javier Bardem’s film Biutiful. This particular song was based on “I Go To Rio.” As a result, Chris gave Peter Allen and Adrienne Anderson, including them as writers of this tune.
