Trivia
Lagu hit Lewis Capaldi, “Before You Go,” menyimpan makna emosional yang sangat mendalam di balik melodinya yang melankolis. Dirilis pada tahun 2019, lagu ini terinspirasi dari tragedi pribadi: bunuh diri bibi Lewis saat ia masih kecil.
Melalui liriknya, Capaldi mengeksplorasi perasaan bersalah, penyesalan, dan pertanyaan-pertanyaan tanpa jawaban yang sering menghantui mereka yang ditinggalkan.
Ia ingin menangkap sisi kemanusiaan dari sebuah kehilangan, di mana seseorang terus berandai-andai jika ada sesuatu yang bisa mereka katakan untuk mengubah keadaan. Kejujuran ini berhasil menyentuh jutaan pendengar, menjadikan lagu ini salah satu karya paling personal dan sukses dalam kariernya.
