About this song
The song is a mid-tempo, pop-soul ballad that came after several dance numbers released in the previous eighteen months. Sam Smith wrote that they poured their heart and soul into it, and that they had set themselves free while writing it. It was originally the title track for Sam's third album, but was later reviewed and deemed inappropriate due to the coronavirus pandemic. The revised album was released in October 2020 as Love Goes.
What it's about
The text suggests the song may reflect recovering from an unhappy love affair or coming out as non-binary, though it is only a possible reference.
