"It can be quite a challenging place with some of the songs and the spaces we get to. "It's a chance to explain to people in a kind way where I'm at and ask them to come along because where I take them on this album is a very slutty place," Smith said with a smile. To address that and welcome fans into this new chapter, Smith chose to open Gloria with the track Love Me More, which documents their journey with self-acceptance and discovery. In 2019, Smith came out as non-binary, changing their pronouns to "they" and "them." The decision was met with thousands of supportive comments, but also some detractors and maybe even confusion from fans. On their latest album, Gloria, they were determined to confront their fears and "write some music that shows different sides" of themselves. Now, Smith is trying something new: a commitment to their own happiness. I loved talking about it I loved singing about it.… Then when I got to, like, 25, 26, it felt easier to go into a studio and be really negative and talk about sadness." "I was early 20s and I was speaking about heartbreak and unrequited love - and I loved it.
"I was dramatic," said the singer-songwriter. In 2014, Smith made a name for themselves with devastating songs about love and loss on their debut album, In the Lonely Hour, which earned them four Grammys, including the top honours of best new artist and record of the year.
