Lewis Capaldi is back with a new track.
The Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent Scottish singer-songwriter, who scored a No. 1 hit with his song “Someone You Loved” in the United States, dropped the new song called “Before You Go” on Tuesday (November 19).
“The past year has been absolutely wild, didn’t in a million years think all of this stuff would happen to me. Less than two years ago I was lucky enough to get to gig in small pubs and bars back home in Scotland and somehow I am writing this with a number one single in America and getting to play to and meet thousands of ya every night all over the world,” he wrote on Twitter.
He also called the song “by far the most personal tune [he’s] ever written.”
“It’s about suicide. Not necessarily the act of it, but, like, after it happens, the aftermath of it. And people kind of blaming themselves or starting to think, you know, ‘What could I have done to help that person?’ or whatever. When I was five or six, my aunt committed suicide and I just remember recently speaking to my mom about her feelings. About going through that sort of rigmarole in your head of like, you know, ‘What could I have done here? Could I have done anything?’” he further explained in an interview for Beats 1.
