Lewis Capaldi did not want a feature on his hit track “Someone You Loved”.
In a recent interview with Music Week magazine, the singer revealed that he was given a list of artists to join him for a duet version of the song in order to push it to the top of the charts. However, Capaldi wanted the song to be his own.
“I said, ‘No, I’d rather have a number three by myself than a number one with a feature’ because it was still so new in America that everyone would think it was someone else’s song,” he explained.

Perhaps one of the featured artists could have been Camila Cabello.
“Say f**king Camila Cabello did a version of it. People would go, ‘Oh, that Camila song with that guy on it?'” Capaldi said.
Earlier this year, Cabello did a cover of the song in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.
In October, Capaldi’s version hit number one of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
