Sam Smith has shared the video for “I’m Not The Only One” featuring Alicia Keys, taken from the 10th anniversary edition of Sam’s In The Lonely Hour, out now. The 10th anniversary edition of In The Lonely Hour also includes the album’s original songs with a re-recorded version of “Stay With Me,” the exclusive new track “Little Sailor,” live versions of numerous tracks, and pairings with featured artists including Mary J. Blige, A$AP Rocky, and John Legend.
The video, directed by Ava Rikki, includes footage from Sam’s 2024 ‘Pride Party’ at Julius, the oldest gay bar in New York City. ‘Pride Party’ was hosted by drag icon Lady Bunny and included Sam’s celebrity friends including Kim Petras, Dylan Mulvaney, Christian Cowan, Ella Snyder and Nick Champa, and featured Sam and Alicia surprising the crowd with their rendition of “I’m Not The Only One.” The duo later went on to record the song in Alicia’s studio, which later went on to appear on the 10th anniversary edition of In The Lonely Hour.
In The Lonely Hour, released in 2014, is certified six-times platinum by the RIAA, and includes the breakthrough diamond-certified hit “Stay with Me,” seven-time platinum “I’m Not the Only One,” five-time platinum “Lay Me Down,” and the platinum-certified “Money on My Mind” and “Like I Can.” The album earned Smith six Grammy nominations, and they won four.
Shared Sam: “This album was written about a period of unrequited love in my life. It’s a real life coming-of-age story. I am so honored to have worked with Alicia who is an incredible talent and a beautiful soul joining me to re-imagine such a special track to celebrate a decade of In The Lonely Hour.”
Keys adds, “I LOVED working on this with Sam! And for such a special moment! It’s been on both of our wishlists! The vibe was super intimate. We recorded it at my studio in New York. My son Egypt played Sam some keys and my son Genesis was telling jokes the whole time. Pure music, singing in the room together while I was playing piano.”
