that they’d spent the preceding year and a half in therapy, describing that stretch as the “most challenging time” of their life so far. “I’ve watched and read so much over the last six months to try and make sense of all the mess in my head,” Smith added at the time. “Tried to find ways to organise all of my problems so that they are bound and organised into folders and boxes, so that they will never haunt me or effect me again.” Smith, who is now 28, said that they only recently realized they were “enough” and that “trying to change and seek perfection and a life of no pain, only causes more pain.
You can hear those realizations in “Diamonds.” Smith sings of a lying lover who cared more about the star’s fame and material goods than their heart. “Have it all, rip our memories off the wall, all the special things I bought,” they coo on the first verse. “They mean nothing to me anymore.” A series of rhythmic snaps kick off the pre-chorus, and the listener starts to realize that what could have been a signature ballad is actually a dance-floor anthem.
