Sam Smith is learning to love themself and taking us on their journey. The singer released anthem “Love Me More” as they reflect upon their upbringing and career start in the music video. In typical Sam Smith fashion, we’re moved to tears — not because we’re sad, but because the video is beautiful.
“I wrote this song for anyone who feels different, anyone who has to stop themselves every day from saying unkind things to themselves, in their head, all the time,” Smith said in a statement. “I felt like that for the longest time and slowly I’m learning how to just be nice to myself. I wanted to share that because I captured it in this song. Over the last two years, music has been my therapy more than ever. So I hope this song can be your friend.”
The music video opens with a montage of clips from Smith’s childhood and the start of their career, before Smith pays homage to “Stay With Me,” as they’re seen walking down some stairs as they did in the video for their breakout hit. The melancholic track then turns into a self-empowering anthem.
