Unholy
Sam Smith’s “Unholy” was inspired by the intrigue of forbidden pleasure, secret double lives, and the tension between purity and sin. Centered on a man sneaking away to indulge in illicit affairs, the song blends dark, theatrical pop with trap-driven beats, using a choral intro to contrast its pulsing, seductive bassline. Co-written with Kim Petras, whose verse adds playful danger, it celebrates unapologetic self-expression and the thrill of stepping into a shadowy, taboo world.
