Sam Smith has re-recorded 'Stay With Me' in honor of the song's ten year anniversary, updating its lyrics to reflect their non-binary identity.
Sam Smith performs at Spark Arena on November 11, 2023 in Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland is the 69th and final date on Sam Smith's 'GLORIA the tour' which started in England in April 2023 and covered Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania., they allowed the identity of each song’s subject to remain mostly ambiguous.
As Smith has grown and evolved as both a person and an artist, so has the music they created as a young 20-something stumbling through a lovelorn haze of unrequited love. “When me, Jimmy and Tourist wrote this song, none of us would’ve expected it to become what it has in the world,” they wrote. “I will never forget Will playing those three chords on the piano. I stopped everything I was doing and said ‘what is that’. Those chords and this song still stir me in the same way to this day.
Smith added: “The meaning of this song changes for me whenever I sing it. The words ‘Stay With Me’ can mean a million different things and follow me throughout my life like an old friend.”. “I had that with my first album, In the Lonely Hour. I’m in a suit and in that suit, I was channeling Judy Garland. I look back on those videos of me when I was 20, and I see a feminine energy,” they said.
“This year marks a decade since the release of my debut album,” Smith wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I feel so incredibly lucky to be celebrating this milestone with you. My team and I have created this beautiful anniversary edition for us all, and for the last 10 years. Today is only the beginning Sailors, we have so much to celebrate with you between now and August. I can’t wait to look back on ‘In The Lonely Hour’ together.
