Trivia / Lewis Capaldi

• Write What You Know: A number of Lewis's single are pulled from his own experiences:
  • "Someone You Loved" is supposedly inspired by the passing of his grandmother. Its acceptance as a universal Grief Song clearly resonated.
  • "Hold Me While You Wait" is explicitly about an ex who wanted out even as he thought it was going well. He then humorously notes that the ex eventually went on to Love Island. (For the record, they are Amicable Exes nonetheless.)
  • He described "Before You Go" as something inspired by his aunt's suicide decades ago—and the emotional fallout for everyone she knew, a very contemporary and universal heartbreak. The music video for this heavily relies on this theme—which could catch an unaware viewer.
