LEWIS Capaldi has begun "leaking" demos of his unreleased songs ahead of his new album coming out.
The 26-year-old singer joked that his record label would "go crazy" as he shared a clip of a song he didn't plan to release.
Sharing the clip on TikTok, he wrote: "Posting demos of songs that will probably never see the light of day."

The lyrics of the never-before-heard song appear on the screen, reading: "I wanna turn back time, tell you I'm wrong/ Don't wanna waste my nights singing sad songs.
"I'll spend a lifetime wishing I'd stayed/ But it's a little too late to tell you that babe."
@lewiscapaldi MY LABEL WILL GO CRAZY IF THEY SEE I’VE LEAKED THIS (they wont)

The video has since received a huge response from fans who are keen for Lewis to go ahead and release the demo, as one person commented: "Lewis the full demo needs to see the light of day. I'm invested."
Another said: "Lewis I need this song like right now."
A third added: "Ok but this is actually great, please make it happen."
It comes ahead of the release of Lewis' second studio album, Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent, in May.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
