Sam Smith's new single samples dialogue from the film 'Donnie Darko'

'To Die For' is out this Friday

Sam Smith will release a new single this coming Friday and it samples the 2001 cult film 'Donnie Darko'.

'To Die For' is described as a 'soothing heartfelt ballad' that sees Smith team up once again with regular collaborator Jimmy Napes and production team Stargate.

It opens with a sample of dialogue from the Richard Kelly-directed film, which was one of Jake Gyllenhaal's first big roles.

Smith said: “Releasing this song is going to be a wild one – I feel like it’s from one of the deepest parts of me. I wrote this with Jimmy Napes and Stargate in LA during a time of self-discovery and heartbreak. This is for all the lonely hearts out there on another Valentine’s Day xx”

It's out this Friday, February 14th so watch this space.
