About This Track
'Diamonds' is the second single from Sam Smith's third studio album 'Love Goes', released through Capitol Records in September 2020. Written by Smith with producers Shellback and Oscar Görres, the track marks a shift towards a more upbeat sound within the record's emotional arc. The song frames heartbreak through the language of material exchange. Smith sings of a relationship where affection was conditional, the narrator left to 'shake the fear of feeling lost' whilst their former partner departs with both literal and metaphorical valuables. The repeated refrain positions diamonds as symbols of what the other person truly valued, the singer acknowledging 'material love won't fool me' in the aftermath. Beneath the glitter imagery sits a clear-eyed reckoning. Smith credits the lyric with a story they imagined to accompany the song, the upbeat production carrying a narrative of someone who can finally breathe once the transactional dynamic ends.
"Diamonds" is a single by Sam Smith, from the album Love Goes, released 30th October 2020. The track is 3:32 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Sam Smith.
