During the first show of his 2023 tour in Leeds, Lewis Capaldi introduced this song by saying:
It’s no secret that I’m quite an anxious fella. This is the best job in the world; I love doing what I do. But I’d be lying if I said that sometimes things didn’t kinda get on top of me every now and then. So, [“How I’m Feeling Now”] is a song that I wrote about that and I hope that you like it.
In a tweet about his Netflix documentary named after the song, Lewis Capaldi said:
It’s the last song I wrote for my upcoming album and is a tune that’s all about something I’ve never written about in my music before, which is my mental health. Obviously I completely recognise how lucky I am to have the life I do, and I know there are people in much worse positions than I am out there but, as much as the last 5 years have been the best of my life, I would be lying if I said it all hasn’t taken it’s toll mentally. Honestly, there have been some extremely low points and that’s what this song is about.
I know the last few years have been (and continue to be) difficult for everyone, so hopefully you relate to the tune in some way. It might be nice to hear that there’s someone else in a similar boat as you; I know it would for me.
