[2] On 21 November 2014, Sheppard performed an acoustic version of "Smile" for Take 40 Australia [3] and The Hot Hits. [4]
"Smile" is set in the key of F. [5]
A lyric video was released on YouTube on 20 October 2014. [6] Sheppard confirmed via their Twitter account on 3 December 2014 that they were filming a music video for "Smile". [7] [8] The video was directed by Jamie Lewis and premiered on 15 December 2014. The video shows the members of the band stranded in a rowboat in the middle of an ocean as Amy tries to capture the attention of a lonely islander while the rest of the members attempt to signal for help. At the end they are rescued by a helicopter.
Thomas Bleach, in a review of Bombs Away, said "'Smile' is an infectious feel good hit waiting to be unleashed. Radio will eat this song right up and is a summer anthem in waiting. It may be a bit cheesy but you can't help but get lost in the music and want to hear it over and over again." [10] Marcus Floyd of Renowned for Sound, in a review of Bombs Away, said; "'Smile' is a cheesy-yet-catchy track that is fun to bop along to." [11]
