The ballad finds Smith exploring his falsetto over elegant orchestrations, singing lines like, “If I risk it all/Could you break my heart?/How do I live?/How do I breathe?/When you’re not here, I’m suffocating.” Last month, Smith and Disclosure visited the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge and unleashed a simmering cover of Drake’s booty call jam “Hotline Bling.” The electronic duo – brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence – contributed “additional production” to Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall,” his theme for the upcoming James Bond film Spectre.
