Background

"Something in the Heavens" is the second single following Capaldi's comeback in June 2025, when he released the single “Survive” and went on to play a surprise set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2025. ^[1]

On 3 September 2025, some of Capaldi's fans received a bouquet in the mail, alongside a signed card with the lyric "'Something in the Heavens' tells me that we'll be together again," handwritten on the front. When opened, a short snippet of the song plays. Scottish singer Susan Boyle, with whom Capaldi has developed a friendship, also received a bouquet. The following day, Capaldi publicly teased the song for the first time by posting an extended version of the previous snippet to social media. ^{[2] [3]}

The song debuted live on 6 September 2025, during the opening show of Capaldi’s "UK & Ireland Summer 2025 Tour", in Sheffield. ^[4] On 15 September 2025, Capaldi announced via social media that "Something in the Heavens" would release just three days later, on 18 September. ^[5]
