• Is there a cure for minds unwell?
  'Cause my head's a living hell
  If I'm honest with myself
  
  Lewis Capaldi has battled anxiety since childhood, experiencing panic attacks for the first time in his early teens. Since finding fame the expectations and constant public scrutiny have further affected his mental well-being. In 2023, Capaldi took a yearlong break from touring to tend his mental health.
  
  "A Cure For Minds Unwell" is an emotional ballad that dives into the depths of Capaldi's struggles.
• The lyrics are raw and unflinching, using vivid imagery and metaphors to depict the complexities of mental illness. Lines like, "How am I supposed to see an end to my all consuming constant fear and dead when I can't even seem to make it out of bed?" encapsulate the crippling nature of anxiety.
• Lewis Capaldi co-wrote the song with Nick Atkinson and the production duo TMS (Benjamin Kohn and Tom Barnes).
  
  Nick Atkinson co-wrote Lewis Capaldi's breakthrough hit "Grace" and has continued to be one of his main writing partners. He contributed to five tracks on Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.
