"Beneath Your Beautiful" is a song by British singers Labrinth and Emeli Sandé. Written by Labrinth, Mike Posner and Sandé, it was released as the sixth single from Labrinth's debut album, Electronic Earth, on 18 November 2012.

Background

"Beneath Your Beautiful" is a R&B-ballad written by Labrinth, Mike Posner and Emeli Sandé. It was recorded as a duet between Labrinth and Sandé for Labrinth's debut studio album Electronic Earth. The title of the song contains a grammatical error, by using the word "your" instead of "you are" or its shortened expression "you're". Upon reaching number one in several countries, fans asked Labrinth via social networking website Twitter about the error. He replied "Can I make something clear! this is twitter! Not an English GCSE haha I’ll spell as BADLY as I wish awritemayte!... Oh is this about #Beneath”YOUR”Beautiful I love how crazy this has sent people…. It was to annoy English teachers and grammar Nazis.

Music video

The music video for the track was uploaded to Labrinth's official Vevo account on YouTube on 5 October 2012. The video features Labrinth and Sandé performing the track while standing in front of a giant screen, which features images of them both.

Live performances

On 21 October 2012, Labrinth and Sandé performed the song live for the first time on the The X Factor. Since the duo's performance on The X Factor, the video has had more than 2.5 million views.
