Lewis Capaldi – Someone You Loved
Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi reached a major career breakthrough with “Someone You Loved”, a piano-led pop ballad released on November 8, 2018. The song first appeared on his second EP, Breach, before becoming one of the standout records on his debut studio album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, released in May 2019.
Written by Capaldi alongside Samuel Romans and production trio TMS, made up of Thomas Barnes, Peter Kelleher and Benjamin Kohn, the song explores grief, emotional loss and the difficulty of adjusting to someone’s absence. Capaldi has explained that the inspiration came partly from deaths in his family, rather than being solely about a romantic breakup.
The release became his first UK number-one single, spending seven consecutive weeks at the top of the chart. It later reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and became the UK’s biggest-selling single of 2019.
Before the breakthrough, Capaldi had built attention through earlier releases such as the Bloom EP and singles including “Bruises” and “Grace”. His success continued with the 2023 album Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, while his direct songwriting and Scottish humour have remained recognisable parts of his public identity.
