"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, where it peaked at #2, kept off the top by "Colourblind" by newcomer Darius Danesh. Regional singles were released for Europe, Canada, and Australia. Promo singles were released in UK, US, France, and Japan. The single cover features guitarist Jon Buckland, art directed by Sølve Sundsbø.
"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.
"In My Place" appeared on a 2006 episode of TV's Cold Case, as a closing montage song about a case from 2003.
The song takes heavy drum influence from the Led Zeppelin song "When the Levee Breaks".
