“No God“ is the second song on Sam Smith’s fourth studio album Gloria. It has a rhymic, mid-tempo beat and jazz influences.
The lyrics are sad, but far from the passive heartbreak songs of the past. This Sam isn’t prepared to be overruled by an opinionated boyfriend. The essence is that the two aren’t compatible.
“This comes from a personal story about someone in my life who I’ve lost to drastic opinions. But as me, Jimmy and Stargate were writing it, it became a rhetoric on a certain type of person with a god complex. It’s about the ignoring of a human being and allowing someone’s drastic politics to get in the way of caring for someone else. The magic of this song came from the production: the live playing, the backing vocals. We just picked away at it until it sounded perfect. To me, it sounds super expensive.“ - via Apple Music
