"Love Me More" is a song by British singer Sam Smith, released as a single on 28 April 2022 through Capitol Records.[1] It is included on Smith's fourth studio album, Gloria (2023).[2]
The song was written and produced by Smith, Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Hermansen of Stargate and Jimmy Napes.[3] Smith explained the meaning of the song, stating that he wrote it "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" and that "I'm learning how to just be nice to myself. I wanted to share that because I captured it in this song".[4]
Reception
Tomás Mier of Rolling Stone described the song as a "melancholic track" that "turns into a self-empowering anthem".[5] Rania Aniftos of Billboard called the song "empowering" and felt that Smith's "honeyed vocals ring through the pensive chorus".[6]
Music video
The music video, directed by Luke Monaghan, was released on 28 April 2022, and includes a montage of footage of Smith as a child through to the beginning of their career, as well as Smith dancing at a party with their friends.[5] The video also contains an homage to the video for Smith's breakthrough song "Stay with Me", with Smith walking down stairs as they did in the video for "Stay with Me".[5]
