But he and his team thought it was worth sort of somebody else using it."Īs James added: "I know from speaking to him, he really didn't want to let the song go. He told ABC Audio why Lewis hadn't recorded it himself: "I found out later that it was something that he had written initially for his album, but it sort of just sat on the wasn't right for him lyrically, or there was something about it that he didn't think fitted on his album. He added the meaning behind it: "It's about rekindling love with a past loved one, bringing them back into your life and realising that it was meant to be." Sigala said of the song: "It came to me as a ballad, with just guitar and his (Lewis Capaldi) voice on it, I worked on it a bit and I got in touch with James from there, to see if he wanted to sing it."
