Continuing one of the most inspiring comebacks in modern music, global superstar Lewis Capaldi has unveiled his latest single, “Almost,” a tender, post-breakup anthem that captures both heartbreak and healing in equal measure. The song will feature on his much-anticipated Survive EP, set for release on November 14 via Capitol Records.

Capaldi’s return to the studio, and to the stage, marks a deeply personal new chapter. Having weathered challenges that tested both his spirit and his artistry, the Scottish singer-songwriter has emerged renewed, his trademark honesty shining through every lyric.

“Almost” is classic Capaldi: raw, vulnerable, and achingly relatable. Driven by acoustic guitar and his soaring vocal delivery, the song finds him reflecting on the delicate balance between pain and recovery, “I swear to God I’m almost alright, I only think about you all the time.” It’s that rare ability to make heartbreak sound both universal and cathartic that continues to set him apart.

The Survive EP promises to be one of Capaldi’s most emotionally charged releases to date, featuring “Almost” alongside three other monumental tracks: “Survive,” “Something In The Heavens,” and “The Day That I Die.” Each song reflects a man who has stared down personal storms and found beauty in vulnerability. “Something In The Heavens,” already a Top 10 hit in the UK, explores themes of loss and hope, while “The Day That I Die” has become one of the most affecting moments of his live performances, leaving audiences in tears.

Capaldi’s journey back to the spotlight has been nothing short of remarkable. Following his brave appearance at Glastonbury 2023, where the crowd famously carried him through a powerful and emotional performance of “Survive,” he has become a beacon of resilience. His surprise return to the same festival this year was met with standing ovations and critical acclaim, a full-circle moment that affirmed his place as one of the most beloved artists of his generation.

The single “Survive” has already become a phenomenon in its own right, securing Capaldi his sixth UK No. 1 and the title of the fastest-selling single of the year. That achievement puts him in rarefied company alongside artists like Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga, and Queen. His performances on major platforms such as Good Morning America and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon have only solidified his standing as one of today’s most emotionally resonant performers, capable of balancing humour, humility, and heart in equal measure.

Adding to the excitement, Capaldi has announced his 2026 North American headline tour, which launches on April 15 in Philadelphia and includes stops at legendary venues like New York’s Madison Square Garden, Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl. UK and Irish fans will also see him return for his biggest-ever headline shows next summer, many of which are already sold out, a testament to the unwavering devotion of his global fanbase.

It’s clear that Lewis Capaldi’s new era is about more than music. Earlier this year, he performed a series of intimate shows in Scotland in partnership with the mental health charity CALM during Mental Health Awareness Week, a gesture that demonstrated his commitment to fostering openness and empathy through his platform. These moments of connection have redefined Capaldi not just as a hitmaker, but as a symbol of honesty and courage in an industry that often demands perfection.

From “Someone You Loved” now the UK’s most-streamed song of all time — to his latest work, Capaldi continues to tug at heartstrings across the world. His voice remains a “scorched cannon,” as The New York Times once described, capable of distilling anguish and hope into a single note. And yet, beneath the chart success and critical praise, what shines most is his humanity.

With Survive, Lewis Capaldi is not only reclaiming his place among music’s elite, he’s redefining what it means to persevere with authenticity and grace. He isn’t just surviving. He’s thriving, wide open, and ready to step back into the light, stronger, wiser, and still armed with that unmistakable Scottish soul that has made him one of the defining voices of his generation.
