"What If" is the second track from Coldplay's 2005 album, X&Y. It was released as a single in June 2006 to radio stations in France and the French speaking portions of Belgium and Switzerland.

[edit] Track listing

It has been said by the tabloid media that this song was about Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship. But since, when played live, Chris Martin places an apple on his piano, it has been speculated that this song is really about his daughter, Apple.
