"Shiver" is a song by British rock band Coldplay which appeared on the band's debut album Parachutes (2000), and was released as the album's lead single in the United Kingdom and second single in the United States following "Yellow". As a single it reached number 35 on the UK Singles Chart, number 26 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, and 57 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. Its critical reception has been generally positive.
The song's lyrics are a reference to an unrequited love of lyricist Chris Martin. There was media speculation regarding which "specific" woman is the focus in the lyrics - Martin has denied it was about Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia. The song contains influences attributed to American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley, who was an early influence on Coldplay. British record producer Ken Nelson and Coldplay produced the track.
The single also features two B-sides, "For You" and "Careful Where You Stand". Both B-sides are featured as the only bonus tracks on the Japanese edition of Parachutes.
