Right from the start I fell in love with the super charming guitar hooks that instantly infuse the song with a memorable, groovy touch that reminds me of those carefree summer days out in the sun. Lodet's gorgeous, passionate vocal delivery soars effortlessly over the upbeat melodies, beautifully drawing our attention to his storytelling. Smile is an uplifting soft-rock song with infectious guitar hooks that are seamlessly intertwined with a killer bass and steady percussion that create an overall warm, feel-good atmosphere perfect for those laid-back summer weekends ahead.

Speaking about the song, Lodet said, 
’Smile’ was not an obvious choice. The riff was recorded in 2018 and I had been waiting for the right opportunity to finish it. The opportunity came when Joq (keys) left the studio to take an evening walk along the fields around the fields of Flakeberg - where the album is recorded. He stumbled upon my laptop on his way out and the riff started playing. Hovis, the drummer, felt sudden inspiration and laid a steady groove to it. Smack! There it is I thought! When Joq came back to the studio and listen back I noticed how he had started to move his hips. One first... then two. I thought: now let’s fill a fuel tank and throw a spark in there. Then the process continued and we are very happy with the result.
