"Stay With Me" was originally performed by Sam Smith, a heartfelt ballad that captures the pain of loneliness and the longing for connection. The song quickly became a global hit, known for its emotional depth, gospel-inspired sound, and Smith’s raw, soulful vocals.
This version brings a modern soulful-pop twist, inspired by the same mood and meaning that made the original unforgettable. It tells the story of someone who knows the night will end but still reaches for warmth and company before the silence returns. The emotion is timeless — the desire to not be alone, even for one more fleeting moment.
Here, the instrumental blends gentle piano chords, warm reverb-soaked vocals, and subtle electronic textures. The cover captures that delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, echoing what made Sam Smith’s performance so powerful while giving it a fresh atmosphere that resonates with today’s sound.
The lyrics have been reimagined to keep the spirit intact but offer new phrasing and poetic rhythm, ensuring it feels familiar yet renewed. Whether you’re reminiscing about love lost or simply need a moment to breathe through the chaos of modern life, this soulful rendition gives you a space to feel, reflect, and connect.
Let the music wrap around you — slow, tender, and real. It’s not about perfection; it’s about emotion.
Lyrics:
Guess it’s true, I’m not built for the games they play But I still crave touch at the end of the day These hearts keep breaking, they don’t understand I don’t want you gone, just don’t let go of my hand
Oh, won’t you stay with me? You’re my only peace It ain’t love, but it’s what I need So baby, stay with me
Why am I this vulnerable? No, it’s not my best, losing self-control And deep down I know it’s not meant to last But lie here tonight, forget the past
Oh, won’t you stay with me? You’re my only peace It ain’t love, but it’s what I need So baby, stay with me
Ooh-oh-oh-ohh, stay close, don’t flee Feel the rhythm breathe, like waves at sea Ace Plays bringin’ hearts to melody If you’re vibin’ right now, just like this beat
Oh, won’t you stay with me? You’re my only peace It ain’t love, but it’s what I need So baby, stay with me
Oh, stay with me, yeah While this song still breathes This is Ace Plays, bringin’ soul to the scene If you feel this rhythm, go and like the beat And baby, stay with me
