AceShowbiz - Sam Smith revealed that while "Writing's on the Wall" got rave reviews, it was not his favorite song to sing. During a visit to "The Graham Norton Show", the British singer talked about the challenge of tackling the ballad in live performance.
"I've only actually sung the song once, really. Because I did the demo in the studio, and they used that. It is horrible to sing. Horrible," the Grammy winner said. "I almost regret - no, I don't regret." He added, "It's just so high. I have to grab my balls; it's awful."
Recorded for "Spectre" theme song, "Writing's on the Wall" co-produced by Disclosure became the first James Bond soundtrack to reach No. 1 in U.K. Smith is scheduled to join the producer for a "Saturday Night Live" performance on November 14 with Lorde. Elizabeth Banks serves as a host.
