Despite having never been officially released as a single, it has charted in several countries, and is often considered one of Spektor's greatest songs.
He fell in love with Delilah, who, because of his lust for women, discovered his vulnerability, and used it against him.
The earlier recording from Songs has a tempo of 76 beats per minute, whereas the Begin to Hope version was recorded at a significantly faster tempo of 90 beats per minute.
"Samson" had an accompanying music video, despite not having been released as a single.
The video was shot in almost black and white, and revolved around Spektor performing the song on a piano whilst paper designs pan over the camera.
