17 APRIL 2026 (TORONTO, ON) — Today, global superstar Lewis Capaldi unveils “Stay Love,” a special addition to his critically acclaimed 2025 Survive EP. The Scottish hitmaker debuted the emotional ballad last night at his sold out show at Madison Square Garden — an early highlight from what’s set to become his biggest North American tour to date.

A tender, piano-led plea for companionship, “Stay Love” finds Capaldi at his most vulnerable, pairing his unmistakably rich voice with a stripped-back arrangement that allows every lyric to resonate: “Oh just stay, love, when everybody’s leaving / C’mon stay, love, to get me through the evening / You know I pray, love, that you'll always be the one / And when the road gets rough, don’t give up on us, and this could stay love.” Infused with hope, the track leans into the quiet intensity that has become a hallmark of Capaldi’s artistry, delivering a powerful performance that underscores both fragility and resolve.

Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz and Michael Pollack, “Stay Love” expands Survive into a five-track collection, further deepening the emotional arc that Capaldi traces across his latest body of work. The EP already includes the anthemic title track “Survive”, which topped the UK charts, the soul-searching “Something In The Heavens”, the post-breakup standout “Almost”, and the devastating “The Day That I Die”, each exploring different shades of loss, endurance, progress, and promise. Upon the EP’s release, Billboard wrote, “Lewis Capaldi is very much back. Surviving, thriving.”

The unveiling of “Stay Love” at Madison Square Garden carried a special significance. Early in his career, one of Capaldi’s first U.S. headline shows took place at New York’s Rockwood Music Hall — a venue that, like many independent spaces, has since closed its doors. In tribute to that early break, Capaldi invited the Rockwood staff and their families to attend as guests last night, and made a donation to the National Independent Venue Association in recognition of the vital role such spaces play in developing artists.

“NIVA is incredibly grateful to Lewis Capaldi for honoring the venue that helped launch his career and for recognizing the role independent stages play in every artist’s journey,” said Stephen Parker, Executive Director of NIVA. “It’s powerful to see an artist at this level acknowledge the small rooms where it all begins. At a time when many independent venues are struggling to profit and survive, this kind of leadership inspires the independent live entertainment industry to keep going."

Capaldi’s North American run continues with upcoming stops at landmark venues including Boston’s MGM Music Hall (this weekend), Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (two nights), and, among others, Montreal's Bell Centre and Toronto's Scotiabank Arena. Capaldi will then return to Europe and the UK for an extensive summer schedule, including headline shows at BST Hyde Park in London and Dublin’s Marlay Park. Capaldi is fast approaching one million tickets sold globally this year alone.

The Survive EP has already proven to be a defining chapter in Capaldi’s career, with the title track becoming the UK’s fastest-selling single of 2025 as well as his sixth No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. That achievement puts him in the esteemed company of Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga, and Queen. The release marked his return following a period away from the spotlight, culminating in a widely celebrated Glastonbury performance that signaled both a personal and artistic reset.

Capaldi performed “Survive,” on Good Morning America as part of their “Summer Concert Series” and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he also sat down for a moving conversation. He joined This Past Weekend With Theo Von for a revealing interview, too, and appeared on The Graham Norton Show alongside Taylor Swift, where he charmed audiences with his trademark wit and showmanship.

With the addition of “Stay Love,” Capaldi continues to build this exciting new phase of his career — not by shifting course, but by leaning further into the unvarnished honesty that has long defined his music.

About Lewis Capaldi
Lewis Capaldi’s debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, was the biggest selling UK album of 2019 and 2020, propelling him from bedroom musician to superstar. In addition to a GRAMMY® nomination for “Song of the Year,” the single “Someone You Loved” won the BRIT Award for “Song of the Year” alongside Capaldi’s “Best New Artist” trophy. The song stands as the UK’s most streamed song of all time and the fourth highest ever streamed song in the world. With Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, he scored his second UK No. 1 album and three UK No. 1 singles, “Pointless,” “Wish You The Best,” and “Forget Me.” The 2023 album earned praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, The Guardian, NME, GQ, Stereogum, and TIME, with the latter noting that “Capaldi’s talent is tugging at heartstrings — or rather, pulling at them with all his vocal might.” The New York Times observed, “Capaldi has a scorched cannon of a voice, and it’s best deployed on songs about anguish. To date, his career has lurched forward one vocal bloodletting at a time.” Taking its name from the album’s closing song, the compelling music documentary Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now, in partnership with Netflix, BMG, and Pulse Films, shot straight to the top of the Netflix chart, making it the most watched film on the platform since its release, and was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for “Best Music Film.”
