Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me”
Sam Smith is an international star all because of an album that was based on unrequited love. The U.K. crooner’s “Stay With Me” is a heartfelt ballad that begs for the attention of a special someone and Smith opened up about the inspiration behind his debut album. “‘In the Lonely Hour’ is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back,” Smith told “Fader” magazine. “I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn’t felt love before.”
