In October 2012, when the live recording of "Paradise" took place in Paris, Coldplay was firmly in the promotional phase of their fifth studio album, *Mylo Xyloto*, which had been released in October 2011. By this time, the album had already achieved significant commercial success, with "Paradise" becoming one of its standout tracks. The *Mylo Xyloto Tour* was underway, showcasing the band's growing popularity and their ability to draw large crowds. This concert featured elaborate visual effects and a vibrant atmosphere, typical of Coldplay's live performances during this era. Notably, *Mylo Xyloto* explored themes of love and hope, and its sound marked a departure towards a more experimental approach compared to their earlier work. This live recording not only highlights Coldplay's artistic evolution but also their status as a leading force in the music industry at that time.
