Back to What's That Song

Solved

Slow piano ballad, male singer, voice cracks on the last chorus

Language EnglishDecade 2010sGenre PopMood SadHeard A cafe playlist

Male voice, very gentle on the verses, mostly piano with strings that swell near the end. There is a moment where his voice cracks and it goes quiet, then one big final chorus. Sounded like an early 2010s heartbreak song. A cafe near me played it on repeat.

This is Lewis Capaldi, "Someone You Loved". Piano led, his voice breaks right before the last chorus, then it swells into that big finish. It is 2019, so a touch later than early 2010s, but everything else lines up. It was on every cafe playlist that year.
