"Silver Tongues" is a song by English singer-songwriter Louis Tomlinson. It was released on 9 November 2022, as the third single from his second studio album, Faith in the Future via BMG. [2]
"Silver Tongues" is about a connection with someone special, only wanting to stay in the moment where the feeling is the utmost comfort. [3] The track was written by Louis Tomlinson, Theo Hutchcraft, David Sneddon and Joseph Cross while production was handled by Cross. [4] The song is described as pop punk, blending in a piano-backed verse before shifting to a guitar-heavy chorus. [4] He stated that the track was one of his favourites from the album and that he's "immensely proud of." [5]
"Silver Tongues" was met with positive reviews from music critics. Carl Smith of Official Charts Company stated, "Louis' vocals atop a sparse piano melody, not too far removed from that of Walls album track 'Fearless'. Delivering a vocal drenched in confidence, the unlikely subject of the song soon becomes apparent." He also praised Tomlinson's change in sound and his abstract songwriting. [5] Finlay Holden of ReadDork.com described the song as "a joyful reflection of the past, bursting with hope and optimism, and a soaring chorus." [6] Jen Southern of The Honey Pop remarked, "'Silver Tongues' feels absolutely packed full of nostalgia, both lyrically and sonically. Musically, it is new but so utterly timeless." [7]
The music video for "Silver Tongues" premiered on 13 November 2022, via VEVO and was directed by Charlie Sarsfield. [8]
