"Stay With Me" is a single from Sam Smith's debut album In the Lonely Hour. It was released as the third single from the album on April 17, 2014. The song was co-written by Smith, James Napier, and William Phillips, with the late Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne later receiving credits due to the song's noted melodic similarity to Petty's single "I Won't Back Down".

"Stay With Me" is Sam Smith's most successful single to date, charting at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and at No. 1 on the UK Chart. It also reached Top 10 status in over twelve countries worldwide. A remix of "Stay With Me" by Darkchild won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 2015 Grammy Awards[1][2].

In "Sing", Johnny performed this song as his audition for Buster Moon's singing competition. A snippet of "Stay With Me" appears as part of the "Auditions" track on the Sing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

[Verse 2]
Why am I so emotional?
No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

[Chorus]
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
