"In My Place" is the first single on Coldplay's second album A Rush of Blood to the Head. This was their third Top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart. Regional singles were released for UK, Europe, the Netherlands, France, Canada, and Australia. Promo singles were released in UK, US, France, and Japan. The single cover features guitarist Jon Buckland, art directed by Solve Sundsbo.
"In My Place" was one of Coldplay's "old-new" songs for their second album. It had originally been written at the time of Parachutes original release in September 2000 (see 2000 in music). The song had been performed regularly on live tours prior to A Rush of Blood to the Head.
"In My Place" won Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 2003 Grammy Awards.
