As Billboard notes, “Accompanied only by gently plucked acoustic guitar and subtle strings, the stripped-down version of the song puts Smith’s vocals front-and-center, amping up the song’s dramatic pull.”  Sam also shared BTS footage from the video shoot and explains, “I went to start this choreography and my anxiety like, it was like so intense.  I managed to control it and I’m more relaxed today but it’s just really scaring.”  Sam continues, “When I came out with my first record I was so young.  I was 20, or 21-years old and I didn’t feel very comfortable on stage.  The idea of dancing or doing anything like that just would have been too much for me and I never would’ve welcomed the thought.”
