Emeli Sandé gives a raw and passionate performance from the makeup chair in her dressing room in Tom Stoddard's riveting one-take to camera promo for How Were We To Know.

The video for second release from the singer's fifth studio album - Stoddard also directed the first video for There For You - focusses entirely upon the singer fighting to retain her humanity in the moments before a live show, where she is treated like a commodity as she's made ready by her glam team.

Sandé expresses a broad range of emotions, with the video drawing a parallel with the theme of the song, about picking up after the failure of an affair. Her showbusiness life reflects real life: ultimately we have to put a face on, and keep going.
