Camila Cabello Covering Lewis Capaldi's 'Someone You Loved' Will Probably Destroy You
Four months soon after
Jonas Brothers covered Lewis Capaldi's "
Someone You Loved" in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge,
Camila Cabello has followed suit. For her appearance on Wednesday (October 2), Cabello put her own emotional spin on the bleeding-heart ballad — and let's just mention you could aspire to grab a tissue or two before hitting play.
Before launching into the cover, Cabello gushed about Capaldi's hit song, saying, "The lyrics fully destroy me. ... Just that line, 'I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.' The 'kinda' is what just kills me." She added, "I heard it on Spotify one day and I was like, 'wow, his voice sounds incredible.' However I think he just really captured magical pain in this song."
For her rendition, Cabello gave "Someone You Loved" a soft horn intro, then replaced the original song's spare piano with drums and synths, giving it major "Never Be the Same" vibes. Tying it all with each other are Cabello's raw vocals and pure emotion, which come to a head on that crashing chorus. Magical pain, indeed.
Immediately soon after her cover, Cabello admitted to Radio 1 host Clara Amfo, "That makes me desire to cry in the end! Every time. ... I was about to."
And though she managed to hold back her tears, crying is something heavy on Cabello's mind this week. Soon following the
joint release of new singles "Shameless" and "Liar" last month, she's
announced a new single, "Cry For Me," coming this Friday. When you patiently await that release, check out Cabello's Live Lounge efficiency of "
Liar" below — the live horns are truly a gift to us all.
