Lewis Marc Capaldi (born 7 October 1996) is a Scottish singer-songwriter. Capaldi achieved global mainstream success throughout 2019 with his international breakthrough single "Someone You Loved”, which spent 7 weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart making it one of the longest No 1 singles in UK chart history.

On 17 May 2019 he released his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent,[3] which remained at the top of the UK album chart for 6 weeks.

Lewis learned to play drums and guitar when he was two, and began his musical career singing in pubs aged 9. By 17 he had committed to a career in music. He was discovered by his manager Ryan Walter through an iPhone recording Capaldi recorded in his bedroom and had uploaded to his SoundCloud account.

He released his debut extended play recording Bloom EP on 20 October 2017 on which he worked with Grammy Award-winning producer Malay, a long-time collaborator of Frank Ocean. He later released his first track "Bruises" on 31 March 2017. The song quickly amassed close to 28 million plays on Spotify worldwide, making him the fastest ever unsigned artist to reach 25 million plays on the platform.[8] Shortly afterwards, he was signed to Virgin EMI Records and Capitol Records.

Written by Emily Weisband and produced by David Garcia, "Getting Good" successfully walks the line between a catchy melody and heartfelt lyrics, showing that Alaina has grown into her artistry. Her impeccable vocals capture the emotion of the song, which is instantly addictive.

The ACM New Vocalist of the Year sings, “I’m afraid of both my parents dying,” in a sucker-punch line, clearly affected by the tragic loss of her stepfather, Sam, in October 2018. Clearly, this hit home for Lauren and adds another layer of depth to her music, unlike what we've seen before from her.

Despite the deep reflecting theme of this song, it ends on a positive, hopeful note: "I’m thinking once I learn to soak up every moment / I’ll realize my life’s already good," she sings.
