Lewis Capaldi has shared the heart-wrenching ballad The Day That I Die as part of his Survive EP.
The Scottish star gets deeply vulnerable on the track about fearing he “wouldn’t be here anymore”.
He sings: “On the day that I die, tell my mother I was smiling ‘cause I know that she’ll be crying.”
The Day That I Die has already been reducing fans to tears at Lewis’ recent live shows.
Survive also boasts the stirring title track, fan-favourite, Something In The Heavens, and Almost, a “raw and intimate exploration of what it means to move on – or at least try to.”
Lewis’ latest heart-wrenching songs follow his hint that his next album will be upbeat.
The chart-topper is known for his brooding ballads, but that looks set to change with the follow-up to 2023’s Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.
Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show recently, he said: “I would like to start making happy music. News flash, breaking news. Next album I am doing, it’s happy. It’s happy, happy stuff.”
Lewis made his grand return to the stage at Glastonbury this summer, two years after he was forced to end his set early amid his struggles with Tourette’s syndrome.
The 29-year-old star is set for a huge 2026, with a summer packed with live shows, including a headlining slot at The Isle of Wight Festival on June 19.
Lewis is also set for two nights at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 23 and 24.
He will headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Saturday, July 11 and 12.
Further dates include Thomond Park in Limerick on June 26, Exeter’s TK Maxx Presents Live at Powderham on June 27 and 28, and Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields on June 30 and July 1.
Also in July, Lewis will play the inaugural American Express presents Roundhay Festival in Leeds on July 4.
The following month, he will perform in front of the masses at Belfast Vital and Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park.
