Lewis also performed his comeback single ‘Forget Me,’ which quickly climbed to the No.1 spot in the UK.  ‘Forget Me’ is Lewis’ first single since releasing his 2019 debut album, ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’.  Talking about the track, Lewis says, “It’s a wee bit more upbeat than my previous numbers, mostly because after touring the world, I noticed that my lesser known slower tracks were making some of the crowds look like they were about to fall asleep out of sheer boredom. However, this new one is sad AND fast, much like my love making. Not to worry, I’ve still got plenty of depressing ballads up my sleeve. More on that another time…”

 

 

 

 

 

In addition to ‘Forget Me’ and ‘Everytime,’ Lewis also performed ‘Before You Go’ and ‘Someone You Loved.’

 

 

 

 

 

In an interview with BBC, Lewis talks about his upcoming studio album, “I think it’s good, man.  I like it better than the first one, but the first one’s still good.  It was nice to just not feel the pressure to be like, ‘Oh, I need to be on social media.’  I think the album’s, I don’t know if it’s better but I’m really proud of it.”

And to celebrate his new song hitting 20 million streams on Spotify, Lewis ordered himself a 22 inch pizza – and then posted a series of photos on Instagram.
