‘Stay love. Out at midnight.’ This was the announcement from Lewis Capaldi as he unveiled his latest single on April 17, 2026.
The release followed a surprise mini gig at Penn City Station in New York. The event attracted over 5,000 fans eager to hear the new music.
‘Stay Love’ is Capaldi’s first new music of the year and features only a piano accompanying his powerful vocals. The song’s lyrics express a heartfelt plea for love to remain amidst difficult times: ’cause the pills don’t work, they just make it worse / won’t you stay, love when everybody’s leaving? / to get me through the evening.’
This release is significant as it marks a return after his previous EP, ‘Survive’, which came out in 2025. Notably, ‘Stay Love’ does not feature on that EP.
Capaldi’s performance style and emotional depth have consistently resonated with audiences. His past successes include sold-out shows, notably at Madison Square Garden.
As of midday on April 17, ‘Stay Love’ has received critical acclaim from music reviewers and fans alike. A visualiser was released alongside the song, but details about a music video remain unconfirmed.
Looking ahead, Lewis Capaldi is set to embark on an American tour supported by Joy Crookes. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about upcoming performances.
