“Unholy” was the only pop collaboration of 2022 to be certified platinum.
It was hailed as one of 2022's best songs by Rolling Stone, which noted that "Smith … stepped away from their signature ballad sound to create a catchy, dirty song about a ‘daddy getting hot at the body shop’ behind mummy’s back.”
The song appeared on numerous critics’ list, including Associated Press, Billboard and Esquire, which observed, “With sultry lyrics and a music video that’ll make just about anyone clutch their pearls, ‘Unholy’ is the ultimate party anthem.”
