Digging Deep into the Lyrics: Sam Smith & Kim Petras – ‘Unholy’

“Unholy” is a song by Kim Petras and Sam Smith for his fourth studio album Gloria released in 2023. The lyrics of this song portray a cheating husband who is doing something “unholy” at a body shop. The “lucky girl” mentioned is probably the woman the husband is cheating with. The chorus talks about how the husband is getting “hot” at the body shop and that the wife (mummy) is unaware of this infidelity. The woman he is cheating with seems to be a materialistic person who values luxury brands like Fendi, Prada, and Miu Miu.
The song highlights the dangers of infidelity and how it can ruin relationships. The lyrics suggest that the wife is oblivious to what is happening and that the husband is getting away with his actions. However, the chorus indicates that there is gossip about the husband’s activities in town. The line “He lucky, lucky, yeah” could be interpreted as the husband feeling lucky to have found someone who is willing to cheat with him.
The song paints a vivid picture of the husband’s activities with its suggestive lyrics. The woman he is cheating with seems to be flaunting her material wealth, and the husband is willing to risk his marriage for her. However, there’s a shocking turn of events in the end that the husband is also unaware of. Overall, the lyrics convey a message about the consequences of cheating and the need for honesty in relationships. It is a warning to anyone who may be tempted to cheat and a reminder that their actions have consequences.
