Sam Smith[edit]
In May 2014, Smith came out to the public as gay and acknowledged a relationship—since ended—with actor and model Jonathan Zeizel.[1][2] At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards when "Stay with Me" won an award for Record of the Year, they said, "I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys!"[3] In October 2017, Smith stated that their latest album, The Thrill of It All, showed "the gay guy I've become".[4] In September 2017, Smith revealed a relationship with actor Brandon Flynn in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In June 2018, it was announced that Smith and Flynn had split after nine months of dating.[5]

Gloria[edit]
The first track to be released from the album was the single "Love Me More" on 28 April 2022.[6] "Unholy", a collaboration with German singer Kim Petras, followed on 22 September 2022 and was promoted as the lead single.[7][8] It reached number one in several countries, including Australia, Canada, the UK and the US,[9] as well as number one on the Billboard Global 200.[10]
Smith announced the album on their social media accounts on 17 October 2022, writing a note to their "dearest sailors", Smith's name for their fans, and sharing the cover art, a portrait of Smith with bleached hair wearing a golden earring of an anchor and pearl.[11]
Love Goes[edit]
In an interview with Zach Sang in October 2019, Smith confirmed that their third album would be released in 2020, and said it would feature "fewer ballads and plenty of poppier tracks" than their previous albums, which they called an "acoustic-y, soulful version of pop music". Smith went on to explain that the reception to their recent songs had "almost given me permission to kinda do what I've always dreamed of doing but I was always scared to do, which is pop music."[12] Smith described the album as their "first proper heartbreak album". In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Smith said
"I'd say [this was] the first proper time I've been actually heartbroken. That feeling of they're gone, you can't sleep, the really, really bad feeling. The others were the idea of it and it was pure unrequited love. This, I would like to say that we loved each other. So, I definitely, definitely loved him. So yeah, it was proper."
— Smith speaking to Zane Lowe.[13]
Smith opened a pop-up store in Soho, London named after the album in February 2020 before the release of the single "To Die For".[14]
On 15 July 2021, the title track of the album was featured in the final episode of season 2 of the Netflix series Never Have I Ever.
