"I want to thank the man who this record is about who I fell in love with last year," Sam told the audience. "Stay With Me" ended up winning best song of the year at the 2015 Grammys, and during their acceptance speech, Sam revealed that In the Lonely Hour was inspired by someone they used to date. "You don't even love them, you don't really fancy them that much - it's just nice to have someone in the bed next to you." "It's about the moment in the morning after a one-night stand, where the person you are with leaves your house, and you are left by yourself, and it's just a second, where you are just like, 'I wish, I wish,'" Sam explained to NME. “It came when we were in the studio Will was on piano, playing those three chords, and Jimmy got on drums." And though Napes was the one to come up with the idea of "Stay With Me," Smith was the one who decided to make the song about a one-night stand.
"That's the way all my songs are written," Sam said of the sudden inspiration during a September 2014 interview with NME. In honor of of Sam Smith: Love Goes - Live At Abbey Road Studios, hitting Netflix on May 22, here's the story behind the popular bop.Īccording to Sam, the song "came all at once" while they were working with songwriters Tourist and Jimmy Napes in a Central London recording studio. The song was the third single on Smith's debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour, and though it's been over seven years since the ballad first hit the airwaves, it's possible you still don't know the meaning of the powerful "Stay With Me" lyrics. Though they first gained attention after being featured on Disclosure's 2012 single "Latch," Sam Smith (who identifies as non-binary and genderqueer) truly reached star status after releasing "Stay With Me" in 2014. Smith's Livestream concert, Sam Smith: Love Goes - Live At Abbey Road Studios, will be available to stream on Netflix starting on May 22.Because the ongoing COVID-19 crisis made it impossible for Smith to tour, they later released the live album Love Goes: Live at Abbey Road Studios in March 2021, which features songs from Smith's third album, as well as previous singles from their first two albums, In the Lonely Hour and The Thrill of It All.Sam Smith released their third studio album Love Goes in October 2020.
