ROMA – Libertà. È questa la parola d’ordine per Sam Smith. Libertà di espressione e di essere se stesso senza costrizioni o paure. Da stanotte è disponibile “How do you sleep?”, il nuovo singolo del cantante britannico. Da qualche ora è online il video della canzone.
Sam balla, indossa i tacchi e getta via ogni remore. “Quest’anno, sia personalmente che musicalmente, mi sento veramente libero. Più che mai mi sono divertito così tanto a realizzare questo brano e questo video”, ha dichiarato il cantautore.
La canzone è stata scritta e prodotta da Max Martin (“…Baby One More Time” di Britney Spears, “Roar” di Katy Perry), Savan Kotecha (“What Makes You Beautiful” degli One Direction, “Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored” di Ariana Grande) e ILYA.
Il testo
[Verse 1]
I’m done hatin’ myself for feelin’
I’m done cryin’ myself awake
I’ve gotta leave and start the healin’
But when you move like that, I just want to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
What have I become?
Lookin’ through your phone now, oh no
Love to you is just a game
Look what I have done
Dialing up the numbers on you
I don’t want my heart to break
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Tell me how do you—)
Love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me how do you—)
[Verse 2]
Oh no, how did I manage to lose me?
I am not this desperate, not this crazy
There’s no way I’m sticking around to find out
I won’t lose like that, I won’t lose myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what I have done now
Dialin’ up the numbers on you
I don’t want my heart to break
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Tell me how do you—)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me how do you—)
Oh, love will keep you up tonight
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I’m hopin’ that my love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me how do you—)
