Sam Smith is back with “Love Me More”, a self-empowering anthem. In a statement, Smith said: “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… 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.” Their last album came in 2020, when he released his two-part LP “Love Goes”, which featured the single “Diamonds”.
