 After releasing a music video with overtly sexually explicit scenes, Sam Smith has set the internet ablaze!

His music video, in which he could be seen wearing nipple clasps while having liquid blasted on their face, ignited Twitter over the weekend.

On Friday, Smith, who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns “they/them,” released a new album named ‘Gloria.’ The same evening, the brand-new music video for the album’s lead track, ‘I’m Not Here to Make Friends,’ was unveiled.

In the song’s music video, Smith could be seen donning nothing but a glittery corset and underwear with nipple pasties and a tiara. Dancers could be seen performing around the singer while wearing similar costumes with the addition of slacks that have a heart-shaped cutout in the back. Smith then could be seen squatting and patting the dancers behind while they are planking on the ground.

Soon, clear liquid started pouring out of the walls, drenching the singer and dancer. Smith occasionally pushes his tongue out and drinks the fluid. Another scene shows background dancers in leather underwear and BDSM gear.
