"Someone You Loved" is a deeply personal song, revealed by Lewis Capaldi to be about the loss of his grandmother. It explores the profound pain of missing someone who is no longer in your life, even if they are still physically present. Though it took six months of dedicated effort to write, Capaldi believes his best songs come from this kind of sustained struggle. Released in 2018, it became a massive hit and was later included on his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. This song channels the raw ache of a love that lingers, even after the person is gone.
