The artwork for Sam Smith‘s upcoming single, “Dancing with a Stranger,” features a perfume bottle with the song’s title written on it.  What does it smell like?  You’ll find out if you order the limited-edition vinyl version of the song.

Sam’s web store is now offering “Dancing with a Stranger,” featuring Normani, on clear vinyl with a scented sleeve.  That’ll cost you $12.99, but you can also spend 50 bucks on a long-sleeved “Dancing with a Stranger” t-shirt.  The shirt has the song’s name on the sleeve, the perfume bottle on the front, and lyrics from the song written on the back.

In case you’re interested, the lyrics are, “I don’t want to be alone tonight/It’s pretty clear that I’m not over you/I’m still thinking ’bout the things you do/so I don’t want to be alone tonight.”

You can buy the shirt and the record as a bundle for $57. 

“Dancing with a Stranger” is out January 11. Sam posted on his socials, “Cannot wait for the track to be yours this Friday.”

Mega-Fifth Harmony fan Sam says the song “bottles everything I was feeling whilst juggling my personal life and touring…it is also such a beautiful moment for me as I’m a huge, huge fan of Normani and everything she is.”

The collaboration came about totally by chance. Sam happened to be recording in the studio next door to Normani in L.A. when the two decided to join forces.
