Coldplay wrote Shiver in the early years of their career, before becoming famous. The song was recorded in Wales, in a studio called Rockfield, reserved by an agent who wanted the group to start working on their first album. The band settled in Liverpool in 1999, where they recorded some parts.

The track has an alternative rock sound, with influences from Jeff Buckley, one of the first artists who inspired them. Chris Martin wrote it on a sad day, thinking of a specific woman, although he later denied it was a real person. The guitar was recorded carefully, and the vocals were taken in several takes. The song was released as a single in the UK in 2000, months before the album. It is still a favorite in concerts today.
