Lewis Capaldi has dropped his comeback single, 'Forget Me'

Lewis Capaldi has dropped his comeback single, 'Forget Me'.

His first new material in three years, it follows up on 2019's smash hit debut album 'Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent'.

Explaining the inspiration from the track, Lewis decided to write his own press release, which you can check out below.

“Hello, it's me, Scottish singer-songwriter, chubby popstar and toilet humour enthusiast, Lewis Capaldi here.

I thought I’d save you the trouble of reading through another press release from a PR company telling you how wonderful I am, reeling off all my album sales, awards, records I’ve broken, and how you should be excited for my new single, and just do it myself.

I'm back. My new single is called Forget Me, and let’s just be honest here, lyrically it covers a lot of the same ground as before. I meet lady, lady leaves me, I whine about it in a pop song. Textbook.

After I was able to finally fucking move out of my parents house in 2020 after the success of Someone You Loved and Before You Go, I thought it’d be wise to ring up my pals TMS again and see if they fancied writing some more tunes after I realized I’m contractually obligated to make more music for a large corporation. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

It’s a wee bit more upbeat than my previous numbers, mostly because after touring the world, I noticed that my lesser known slower tracks were making some of the crowds look like they were about to fall asleep out of sheer boredom. However, this new one is sad AND fast, much like my love making. Not to worry, I’ve still got plenty of depressing ballads up my sleeve. More on that another time…
