"Survive" is a song by Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi, released on 27 June 2025 through Vertigo and Universal. Following Capaldi's performance at Glastonbury 2025, "Survive" entered at the top of the UK Singles Chart. Outside the United Kingdom, "Survive" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Ireland. "Survive" is the lead single from Capaldi's third extended play of the same name.

Background and release

"Survive" was written by Capaldi and Rømans, who also co-wrote Capaldi's smash hit, "Someone You Loved".[1] The song marks Capaldi's first single in two years, in which he took a hiatus from touring and performing, starting in June 2023, stating that he needed to focus on his mental and physical health as well as the impact of his Tourette's syndrome.[2] Earlier that month, Capaldi performed at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, but his set was cut short by an episode of his Tourette's and vocal issues, though the crowd continued singing to help him finish the performance.[3]

Two years later, rumours speculated that Capaldi would be performing a surprise set at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival and releasing a new single on 27 June 2025.[4][5] That day, he released his comeback single, "Survive", which happened to occur on the same day as his predicted surprise performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, his first high-profile performance in two years.[6]

Music video

The music video was directed by Hector Docktrill, who also directed the music video for Capaldi's 2022 single, "Pointless".[7][8] It features Capaldi sitting on a chair in the middle of a room, strumming his guitar and singing. Throughout the music video, clips of documental moments of Capaldi's life pop up, ranging from his childhood to the few months before his health-related hiatus, where he was struggling with his Tourette's and anxiety.

Commercial performance

In the mid-week singles charts update in the United Kingdom (on 30 June 2025), "Survive" debuted at number one on the charts update. On 4 July 2025, "Survive" entered at the top of the UK Singles Chart, dethroning "Manchild" by Sabrina Carpenter from the summit of the chart.[9]
