"Sweet Nothing" pairs Calvin Harris with Florence Welch on 18 Months, the Scottish producer's third studio album, from 2012. Harris had already remixed Florence and the Machine's "Spectrum", and he had to chase Welch around her schedule to get her on the record. Once he did, he wrote it with her and Kid Harpoon, who also recorded it, and Harris produced, arranged and played it himself.
It's a song about a romance with nothing underneath, Welch pouring her heart out over a beat that keeps building. It entered the UK chart at number one, Harris's first chart-topper there as lead artist since "I'm Not Alone" in 2009, gave Welch her first US top ten, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. Vincent Haycock's video casts her as a club singer stuck with an abusive boyfriend she plots to be rid of.
