7 years ago today, Sam Smith released, 'How Do You Sleep.'
Sam Smith dropped 'How Do You Sleep?' via Capitol Records, co-writing the dance-pop heartbreak track with Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, and producer ILYA during sessions for their third album, Love Go; the song, addressing a deceptive lover, marked Smith's first pairing with all three hitmakers and arrived alongside a Grant Singer-directed, Parris Goebel-choreographed video where Smith danced publicly for the first time, tying into their openness about embracing their non-binary identity — the single became a global hit, reaching the top ten in the UK and several other countries and further building the commercial momentum following Smith's 'Dancing with a Stranger' success earlier that year.
