Sam Smith is set to make his US award show performance debut at the 2014 MTV VMAs on Sunday (August 24).

With his soulful sound and passionate vocals, Smith has taken the music world by storm with his hits including Stay With Me and Leave Your Lover and is certain to deliver a powerful first-time VMA performance that will leave the audience wanting more. 

Looking ahead to his stint on stage, the Money On My Mind star stated: "I have watched the VMAs every year since I was a kid.

"I am so insanely nervous but also so honoured to be performing. This truly is a pinch yourself moment for me.”

Nominated in this year’s Artist to Watch category, Smith will also vie for the Best Male Video during the ceremony, held at the Forum in Inglewood, CA.

View the lyrics
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
What use is money, when you need someone to hold?
Don't have direction, I'm just rolling down this road
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me

We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
Oh, I'm in love with you and you will never know
But if I can't have you I walk this life alone
Spare you the rising storms and let the rivers flow

You'll never know the endless nights the rhyming of the rain
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me
