Sam Smith showed off his sensual dance moves in the video for “How Do You Sleep?,” swinging his hips to the song’s propulsive, tick-tocking beat. On Friday morning (Aug. 16), the singer surprised fans with another side of the emotional single by dropping an unplugged acoustic version of the track. 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.
