Lewis Capaldi Ask To “Stay Love”
Today, global superstar Lewis Capaldi shares the official music video for his tender new song “Stay Love,” a special addition found on the recent deluxe edition of his Survive EP. The deeply touching visual chronicles a day in the life of a young man providing around-the-clock primary care for his aging father. Watch the “Stay Love” .
The video arrives alongside news that Capaldi will be throwing a special free concert for primary caregivers and their guests at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on July 28th in partnership with UK charity Carers Trust, who work to transform the lives of unpaid carers across the UK, and disabled awareness charity ABLE2UK, which provides exclusive experiences for disabled people. For the exclusive event, and in a first of its kind, the London venue will be made fully accessible to not only meet the needs of the night’s guests, but also ensure that they are given priority. UK census data indicates that roughly 5.8 million informal carers in the country deliver essential assistance to relatives, friends, or neighbors facing illness, disability, or age-related decline. People who devote hours to supporting vulnerable people do not do it for financial gain – they do it for love.
Directed by Sam Nutt and Jack Lightfoot, the “Stay Love” video gives new meaning to Capaldi’s piano-led plea for companionship. The clip begins in a quiet suburban home, where our subject steadies himself for the day. He soon wakes his father, helps him get dressed, and reads him the news. A woman comes to take the older man out, but his son’s work isn’t done. There’s laundry to do, groceries to buy, bills to pay. Along the way, he sees signs of the life he has put on hold, but when his father returns, they find moments of levity and sweetness together. Then, it starts over again.
Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz and Michael Pollack, “Stay Love” finds Capaldi at his most vulnerable, pairing his rich voice with a stripped 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 performance that underscores both fragility and resolve.
The song only deepens the emotional arc Capaldi traces across Survive. The original November release included four fan favorites: the anthemic and autobiographical “Survive,” the soul-searching “Something In The Heavens,” post-breakup standout “Almost,” and the utterly 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.”
Indeed, Capaldi recently wrapped his sold-out, most ambitious North American headline tour to date with performances including the Hollywood Bowl following — among other massive shows — back-to-back dates at Colorado’s storied Red Rocks Amphitheatre and his acclaimed Madison Square Garden debut. Ahead of the latter, his biggest U.S. headliner yet, Capaldi gave a free pop-up performance from a flower shop inside of Penn Station, where he debuted “Stay Love.” The crowd swelled to well over 5,000 fans, turning the New York City landmark into a cavernous music hall.

Survive has already been 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 chat. He joined This Past Weekend With Theo Von for an interview, too, and The Graham Norton Show alongside Taylor Swift, where he charmed audiences with his known wit and showmanship. That appearance also led to his cameo as a mall photographer in Swift’s “Opalite” music video.
Next month, the Scottish hitmaker returns to Europe and the UK for an extensive summer schedule, including two-night runs at both BST Hyde Park in London and Dublin’s Marlay Park, and headlining slots at festivals like Lollapalooza Berlin. Lewis Capaldi is fast approaching one million tickets sold globally this year alone. View his full itinerary HERE.
