The Pretender - Lewis Capaldi - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Pretender" is a track from Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi's 2023 second studio album, Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. Written and produced by Lewis Capaldi with Philip Plested, Nick Atkinson, and Edd Holloway, "The Pretender" is a delicate piece of atmospheric pop music in which the singer opens up about his struggles with impostor syndrome. Starting off with a few piano chords, the song finds Lewis Capaldi dealing with the feelings of inadequacy and insecurity that plague every artist trying to make a living out of their work. Shortly after its commercial release, "The Pretender" reached number 42 on the Irish charts and number 12 on the New Zealand Hot 100. Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent, its parent album, proved extremely successful, topping the charts in the UK, Scotland, New Zealand, Ireland, and Australia, and receiving Gold certification in the United Kingdom.
