Lewis Capaldi has said he wants his new single “Pointless” to be “a wedding song.”

‘Pointless’ is the second single from Capaldi’s forthcoming second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, following ‘Forget Me’. The follow-up to 2019’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent will be released on May 19, 2023.
Speak with The big topic, Capaldi discussed the origins of the song and why he thinks it could accompany weddings. “It’s not about the TV program unfortunately, but that would make listening quite entertaining,” joked the singer. “I’m really into Richard Osman, even though he’s gone.
“No, it’s a song about being in love, which is almost a foreign concept to me,” Capaldi added. “My songs are usually about falling out of love or being heartbroken or something. They are not often only prone to happy love.
“Listen, we have a song like ‘Someone You Loved’ that they play at funerals. And it would be nice to have a song like “Pointless” played at weddings. It’s basically a money robbery.”
Earlier this week, Capaldi shared a touching official video for “Pointless.” The heartwarming video tells the story of a single mother (Niamh Algar) raising her son (George Jaques) from childhood and adolescence into adulthood.
It was announced last week that Capaldi would be making his headlining debut at next year’s Reading and Leeds. He will be at the top of the Main Stage West in Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday. Other headlines include Billie Eilish, Sam Fender, Foals, The Killers and Imagine Dragons.
