- Originally, Disclosure thought that "Latch" was "too weird for the radio and not clubby enough for the clubs" because of its time signature. When first hearing of Sam Smith's voice, Guy and Howard thought he was a woman and later were "amazed" that he wasn't.
- The song is a sleeper hit in the US. The song has reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the duo's first Top 10 hit in the United States and Smith's second.
- Disclosure is an English electronic music duo, consisting of brothers Guy (born 25 May 1991) and Howard Lawrence (born 11 May 1994). The siblings grew up in Reigate, Surrey.
