Lewis Capaldi Has Shared a Cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Driver’s License’

Lewis Capaldi recorded a cover of Olivia Rodrigo's 'Driver's License,' at Abbey Road for Spotify Singles.

Capaldi recently made a comeback with the track ‘Forget Me,’ which debuted at Number One on the UK singles chart and had a music video that was an exact replica of Wham!'s 'Club Tropicana' video.

For the Spotify Singles release, Capaldi released a stripped-down version of ‘Forget Me’ in addition to the ‘Driver's License’ cover.

Capaldi wrote about the new track: “I’m back. My new single is called ‘Forget Me’, and let’s just be honest here, lyrically it covers a lot of the same ground as before. I meet lady, lady leaves me, I whine about it in a pop song. Textbook.”

“After I was able to finally move out of my parents’ house in 2020, after the success of ‘Someone You Loved’ and ‘Before You Go’, I thought it’d be wise to ring up my pals TMS again and see if they fancied writing some more tunes, after I realised I’m contractually obligated to make more music for a large corporation. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

“It’s a wee bit more upbeat than my previous numbers, mostly because after touring the world, I noticed that my lesser known slower tracks were making some of the crowds look like they were about to fall asleep out of sheer boredom. Not to worry, I’ve still got plenty of depressing ballads up my sleeve. More on that another time…”
