Background and release
"Survive" was written by Capaldi and Rømans, who also co-wrote Capaldi's smash hit, "Someone You Loved". The song marks Capaldi's first single in two years, in which he took a hiatus from touring and performing, starting in June 2023, stating that he needed to focus on his mental and physical health as well as the impact of his Tourette's syndrome. Earlier that month, Capaldi performed at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival, but his set was cut short by an episode of his Tourette's and vocal issues, though the crowd continued singing to help him finish the performance.Two years later, rumours speculated that Capaldi would be performing a surprise set at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival and releasing a new single on 27 June 2025. That day, he released his comeback single, "Survive", which happened to occur on the same day as his predicted surprise performance at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival, his first high-profile performance in two years.
