Sam Smith Releases Acoustic Version Of 'To Die For'

Sam Smith stripped things down with an acoustic version of his lovelorn ballad 'To Die For". Accompanying the performance with intimate studio visuals.
​
“To Die For” originally released on Valentine’s Day (February 14) to follow previously-released offerings like “Dancing with a Stranger” featuring Normani, “How Do You Sleep?” and a cover of Donna Summer’s“I Feel Love.” As they explained, the tune was written for “all the lonely hearts out there.” Teasing the record’s arrival in a statement, Smith expressed, “Releasing this song is going to be a wild one – I feel like it’s from one of the deepest parts of me. I wrote this with Jimmy Napes and Stargate in L.A. during a time of self-discovery and heartbreak.”

Fans of the open-hearted track can expect to hear the song on Smith’s upcoming third studio album, To Die For, out everywhere on May 1 via Capitol Records. "I‘m more proud of this album than anything I’ve ever done," Smith said of the project, expected to be the artist’s most liberating yet. "I’ve really set myself free the last two years whilst writing this & I hope you can dance and relate to these stories. It’s all for you, always."

A new single from To Die For, titled “I’m Ready,” is expected to be released on March 27.
