Just as soon as you thought Lewis Capaldi couldn't make you cry any harder than he did with "Someone You Loved," the singer-songwriter is airing out his heartache all over again. Someone give this man a hug, pronto.


On Friday (October 18), Capaldi debuted the video for "Bruises," another compelling ballad that specifics his post-breakup blues. "I've told, I've Been told to get you off my mind / Yet I hope I never lose the bruises that you left beyond he belts while standing in the middle of a desolate scene.


most of them of the video, directed by Emil Nava, centers around a young couple and the dramatic aftermath of their relationship. As they stare intensely at each other, we visualize flashbacks of their ups and downs with each other, and the tension eventually comes to a head with a molotov cocktail-fueled riot. Capaldi himself goes up in flames (literally), and the entire thing ends very cryptically — does the couple reconcile, or are they also burned and bruised? Watch below and determine for yourself.


"Bruises" is taken from Capaldi's EP of the same name, and also his debut album, Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. The single was originally released back in 2017, yet it's noticed new life as Capaldi's star power has grown this year, thanks in large part to "Someone You Loved."


The Scottish singer-songwriter, who is October's MTV Push artist, recently gave us a exclusive efficiency of "Bruises" and talked the genesis of the emotional single. He mentioned, "'Bruises' was probably the initial song I wrote about that breakup that I had with this lady, plus it was the opening time that I'd ever written song that was genuine about heartbreak and stuff like that."


He also revealed that "Bruises" was the initial song he ever wrote on a piano, which fully changed the direction of Divinely Uninspired. "I wrote it the day I turned 20. The album I was making was going in one direction, and then I wrote 'Bruises' and things just tilted slightly," he mentioned, jokingly adding, "So if anyone isn't a fan of my piano, sad, heartbreaky, ballady stuff, you could blame this song for doing it."
