<\/div>\n

Sam Smith<\/a> is heartbroken in his new single \u201cHow Do You Sleep?\u201d The track, created with songwriters\/producers Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and ILYA, is a lovelorn pop ballad about trying to move on with an accompanying music video that sees Smith embracing his dancing abilities.<\/p>\n

Directed by Grant Singer and choreographed by Parris Goebel, the video centers on a group of shirtless male dancers as they move around a seated Smith. The singer joins in for some of the choreography as he croons, \u201cI\u2019m done hating myself for feeling\/I\u2019m done crying myself awake\/I\u2019ve gotta leave and start the healing\/But when you move like that I just want to stay.\u201d Smith becomes one with the dancers as the backdrop shifts in color, and it\u2019s clear the singer is having a great time dancing away the emotional heft of the lyrics.<\/p>\n

Smith previously teased on Twitter that his \u201cinner dancing queen\u201d would come out in the video. In a statement, he said of the release, \u201cThis year, both personally and musically, I feel so free. More than ever I have had so much fun making this record and this video. Time to dance darling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I have never been this excited for a release. Ah My inner dancing queen is about to come out. You ready? July 19th x pic.twitter.com\/4jvkR3kxlM<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHow Do You Sleep?\u201d follows Smith\u2019s single \u201cDancing With A Stranger,\u201d<\/a> which features Normani and is now platinum in 15 countries with over a billion streams worldwide. His last album, The Thrill of it All<\/em>, dropped in 2017, which suggests these one-off singles may be leading up to a new album.<\/p>\n
