It was released on 3 February 2013 as the fifth single from her debut studio album "Our Version of Events".
"Clown" was written by Sandé, Shahid Khan, Grant Mitchell and produced by Khan under his production name Naughty Boy.
The song talks about Sandé's first experiences in the music industry, mainly reflecting her search to get signed by a music company and the encounters with several music business people in the industry.
Commenting on the song, Sandé said: "It's about how I felt when I was trying to get signed, I was going for all these meetings and people were looking at me like "What do we do with you?" It's about not allowing yourself to be judged by others or to be taken for an idiot."
"Clown" reached number 4 in the UK Singles chart.

Clown
I guess it's funnier
from where you're standing
Cause from over here I missed the joke
Clear the way for my crash landing
I've done it again
Another number for your notes
I'd be smiling
if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out
How I can move from the back of the line
I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time for 'Please'
I'll have time for 'Thank you'
As soon as I win
I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
From a distance my choice is simple
From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me
I put make-up on my face
But there's no way you can feel it
From so far away
I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
Payaso
Supongo que es más divertido
desde donde tu estás
porque desde aquí no pillo el chiste
despeja el camino para mi aterrizaje forzoso
lo hice de nuevo
otro número para tus notas
Estaría sonriendo
si no estuviese tan desesperada
sería paciente si tuviese el tiempo
podría parar y contestar a todas tus preguntas
tan pronto como descubra
cómo puedo salir del final de la fila
Seré tu payaso
detrás del cristal
vamos ríete
porque es divertido
yo también lo haría si me viese
seré tu payaso
en tu canal favorito
mi vida es un circo
dando vueltas en círculos
me estoy vendiendo esta noche
Estaría menos enfadada si fuese mi decisión
y el dinero estuviese llegando
si tuviese más que mi ambición
tendré tiempo para "por favor"
tendré tiempo para "gracias"
tan pronto como gane
Seré tu payaso
detrás del cristal
vamos ríete
porque es divertido
yo también lo haría si me viese
seré tu payaso
en tu canal favorito
mi vida es un circo
dando vueltas en círculos
me estoy vendiendo esta noche
Desde la distancia la decisión es fácil
desde la distancia puedo entretener
así que puedes verme
pongo maquillaje en mi cara
pero no hay manera de que puedas sentirlo
desde tan lejos
Seré tu payaso
detrás del cristal
vamos ríete
porque es divertido
yo también lo haría si me viese
seré tu payaso
en tu canal favorito
mi vida es un circo
dando vueltas en círculos
me estoy vendiendo esta noche
