Sam Smith - Stay With Me

Sam Smith takes apart their iconic song "Stay With Me."

Sam Smith is a Grammy and Oscar-winning singer and songwriter from London, England. Their first album, In the Lonely Hour, came out in 2014. It went quintuple platinum in the US, and biggest hit from that album is the song 鈥淪tay With Me,鈥 which has over 2 billion streams on Spotify alone. For this episode, in honor of the song鈥檚 10th anniversary, I talked to Sam about how 鈥淪tay With Me鈥 was made. I also talked to Sam鈥檚 frequent collaborator, Jimmy Napes, who is an award-winning producer and songwriter as well. The two of them tell the story of how the song began, and how it turned into the hit that it became. And then, years later, how it changed again.
