Courtney Hadwin has snatched all our wigs with her cover of Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved.

The 15-year-old – who became a huge name thanks to her stint on America’s Got Talent two years ago – put her own spin on the ballad as part of her covers series.

Swapping the Got Talent stage for a tiny room, the singer proved she can belt it out like the best of them.


And, after hearing her cover, we’re now desperate for a Courtney x Lewis collab – and the teenager would definitely be keen.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk about the performance, she told us: ‘Lewis is such a talented writer and has an amazing voice that immediately drags you in! [He has a] super great personality too as a bonus.



‘If the phone rang tomorrow and he asked me I’d tell him I needed some time to think about it,’ she joked.

‘Of course, I’d love to work with him!’

We honestly need this to happen yesterday – over to you, Lewis…

During Courtney’s time on America’s Got Talent, viewers saw her performing a string of classic hits – with her performance of Otis Redding’s Hard To Handle amassing more than 55million views at the time of writing.

So why did she decide to do a more current track?

‘Up until now people had only heard me sing all the old classics so this was a chance for me to show that I can still put my own spin on the up-to-date stuff,’ she continued.

‘From the first time I heard [Someone You Loved], I knew I had to sing it.

‘And the timing worked out because at the moment his songs seem to be everywhere you go, whether you’re in the car, or walking through the shopping centre, they always seem to be in your ear.’

However, despite smashing the cover, Courtney insisted her own songs will be more ‘happier and upbeat’ than Lewis.

Which we’re kind of into…

Speaking about her upcoming album, she said: ‘We’re early in recording but so far the songs we have are a lot happier and have a more upbeat vibe than this one. Although I’m sure I’ll have a ballad in there too.

‘The biggest thing about my music is I want people to hear my voice and know it’s me they’re listening to.

‘You hear music now on the radio and so much of it sounds the same. I want to stand out and be different. Lots of respect for all artists, but I don’t want to be the next pop princess.

‘At the minute, I’m in the studio writing and recording all the time just looking for the right songs. I don’t want to just release anything it needs to have the right vibe…it needs to be me,’ she added.

‘I need to be able to connect to it, but I’m hoping for a release top of next year… Or even sooner. I just recorded a few songs in London that I can’t wait for everyone to hear.



‘I can tell they’re going to be amazing!’

Us too, hun. Us too.
