Happy 3rd anniversary to 'How Do You Sleep?' by @samsmith. Released on July 19, 2019, the pop ballad was written by the English singer, with @awsuki, Max Martin and @ilya_music, the latter of whom also produced the track. The song appears on Smith's third studio album, 'Love Goes', that was released on October 30, 2020 and that features 3 other tracks by Max's team, the 2 singles 'My Oasis' feat. @burnaboygram and 'Diamonds', and 'I'm Ready' with @ddlovato. Contrasting with Sam's earlier work on either 'In the Lonely Hour' (2014) or 'The Thrill of it All' (2017), the trap and electronic infused 'How Do You Sleep?’ is a subtle and sophisticated modern-pop banger. Its melody lines are exquisite and something in the chorus reminds us of a late '90s R&B classic. An emotive song about betrayal and resentment, 'How Do You Sleep?' finds Sam Smith addressing a deceiving lover. Exploring being cheated on, the heartbroken Smith ponders the thoughts of his former lover with how he lives with himself through the actions he made and the lies he told. The intense emotion and hurt is there but, with the upbeat production of this EDM-influenced tune, the final product is something you can dance and cry to at the same time, the ultimate mood. Structurally, the track slighly deviates from most songs created at MXM. The post-chorus is introduced right after the first hook and is repeated again after the second chorus, while the song has no bridge or middle-eight, and heads straight to the last chorus. Besides, the second half of the second verse varies, going up one octave compared to its counterpart in the first verse. Next, the second pre-chorus is shortened to avoid too much length, repetition and to get earlier to the second chorus. 'How Do You Sleep?' was certified multi-platinum in many countries, such as Australia (4x), the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Portugal (2x), New Zealand, the U.K., Sweden, etc. The song also charted in the Top 10 several countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Belgium, the U.K., Ireland, Mexico, etc. #samsmith #howdoyousleep #lovegoes #maxmartin #savankotecha #ilya #mxm #songwriter #recordproducer #popmusic #mxmstudios #sweden #losangeles
