"Unholy" lyrics
"Unholy"
(feat. Kim Petras)
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
At the body shop
Doin' somethin' unholy
He like it, like it, yeah (Ooh)
He like it, like it, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
He like it, like it, yeah (Uh)
He like it, like it, yeah
A lucky, lucky girl
She got married to a boy like you
She'd kick you out if she ever, ever knew
'Bout all the ... you tell me that you do
Dirty, dirty boy
You know everyone is talkin' on the scene
I hear them whisperin' 'bout the places that you've been
And how you don't know how to keep your business clean
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
At the body shop
Doin' somethin' unholy
He's sat back while she's droppin' it
She be poppin' it
Yeah, she put it down slowly
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at
Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome so he can get that
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
At the body shop
Doin' somethin' unholy (Woo)
Mm, daddy, daddy, if you want it, drop the addy (Yeah, yeah)
Give me love, give me Fendi, my Balenciaga daddy
You gon' need to bag it up 'cause I'm spendin' on Rodeo (Woo)
You can watch me back it up, I'll be gone in the A.M. (Yeah)
And he, he get me Prada, get me Miu Miu like Rihanna (Ah)
He always call me 'cause I never cause no drama
And when you want it, baby, I know I got you covered
And when you need it, baby, just jump under the covers (Yeah)
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot (Hot)
At the body shop (Shop)
Doin' somethin' unholy
He's sat back while she's droppin' it (She)
She be poppin' it (She)
Yeah, she put it down slowly
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at
Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome so he can get that
Mummy don't know daddy's getting hot
At the body shop (Ah)
Doin' somethin' unholy (Unholy)
Oh-oh, oh-ee-oh-ee, ee-oh (Unholy)
Oh-oh, oh-ee-oh-ee, ee-oh (Unholy)
Oh-oh, oh-ee-oh-ee, ee-oh (Yeah, yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-ee-oh-ee, ee-oh
"Unholy" and its
music video (directed by Floria Sigismondi) were inspired by the club "The Body Shop" which is reflected in the lyric
"At the body shop". The track was published on the 22nd of September, 2022. Sam Smith said Rolling Stone about the release,
"It was so cathartic and freeing to experiment like this and throw out the rule book. This song is about liberating oneself from the clutches of others' secrets."
"I knew I could add something special to it," said
Kim Petras recalling to Variety the first time Sam Smith had sent her a demo of "Unholy".
"A week later, we were in the studio drinking whiskey and coming up with slutty lyrics. It's existed in my life for five months and I've built my entire life around it. I always believed it was going to be big." The song went to number one on Billboard's Global 200, including the UK, Australia, and Canada, and to number two in the USA on the Billboard Hot 100.
Sam Smith
performed this song on "The Hottest Record in the World" exclusively for Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 on the 22nd of September, 2022.
