I spent hiatus watching Bake Off in my pants, says Sam Smith
Sam Smith has showcased his new music and revealed he spent his two years away from the limelight watching The Great British Bake Off.
Too Good At Goodbyes was released yesterday and is about “getting good at getting dumped”.
Fellow chart-topper Ed Sheeran travelled around the world during his time off and was even strapped to the front of filmmaker Peter Jackson’s plane.
But Smith told Nick Grimshaw’s Radio 1 breakfast show he mostly stayed at home during his two years away.
“I pretty much sat in my pants watching Bake Off, that’s kind of it... going out clubbing and eating McDonald’s,” he said.
The Stay With Me singer, 25, said the man who inspired the new track has no idea it is about him.
“Four or five songs are about one guy” while others are about “different people in my life”, he said.
He added: “I won’t be telling the person it’s about.
“I don’t want to give them the airtime.”
