So, what increases this self-negativity that we inflict ourselves with? One of the reasons would be criticism received from external parties. Smith shares that the self-doubt and negativity they have inflicted on themselves slowly fades away as they learn to love themselves more. The most important thing, though, is their answer to their question nearing the end of the chorus. The question: “Have you ever felt like being somebody else?”
Starting the song with a question that we all can find relatable at some point in our lives, we feel as if Smith has read our diary pages. Smith shows that the journey is not an easy one as they draw inspiration from their personal life experiences such as their battle with body image. At the 57th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, Darkchild's version of "Stay with Me" won two Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.The track encompasses the feelings of liberation and joy after learning to show a “little bit” of love to yourself day by day. It has also reached top 10 status in over twelve countries worldwide.
The song has become Smith's most successful single to date, peaking at number one in the UK Singles Chart (becoming their third chart-topper there, second as a solo artist), topping the charts in Canada and New Zealand, and reaching number two on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by Smith, James Napier, and William Phillips, with the late Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne later receiving co-writer credits due to the song's noted melodic similarity to Petty's single "I Won't Back Down".
"Stay with Me" is a gospel-inspired ballad that details the protagonist pleading with their one-night stand not to leave them. It was released in the United States on 14 April 2014 and in the United Kingdom on. "Stay with Me" is a song by English singer Sam Smith from their debut studio album In the Lonely Hour (2014).
