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."
