In a new interview with Fader, the 22-year-old breakout singer Sam Smith reveals that despite writing songs about love, they’ve never experienced it themselves. Smith said his debut album “In the Lonely Hour” is about a guy that they once loved, who didn’t love them back. In 2019, Smith came out as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
