Sam Smith Teams Up with Alicia Keys for New Version of "I’m Not the Only One"

Sam Smith is teaming up with Alicia Keys for new version of his hit single,"I’m Not the Only One” .

In a post to social media on Wednesday, Smith announced he is releasing a new version of their In the Lonely Hour single “I’m Not the Only One", featuring Keys. 

Posting a photo with the R&B icon, Smith wrote about her support and talent, thanking Keys for joining him on the new version of the song.

“I’m Not The Only One feat. the truly incomparable @aliciakeys … I am so honoured to have such an incredible talent and a beautiful soul join me on this track to celebrate a decade of In The Lonely Hour,” he wrote in an Instagram caption.

This won’t be the first collaboration between the pair. Back in June, Smith hosted a 10th anniversary party in New York City for their debut studio album, where Keys appeared as a special guest to perform the track. “Can you believe we never did this before?” she expressed at the time. “That’s crazy!”.

The new song release comes alongside Smith’s 10th anniversary edition of In the Lonely Hour, which includes new recordings of the album’s classic tracks. For one song in particular — their singular, breakthrough hit “Stay With Me” — Smith decided to update the lyrics in order to better reflect their gender identity in 2024. 

“This song is truly so special to me, so for the 10 year anniversary I re-recorded the track … including the updated lyric ‘but I still need love, baby understand’ which felt really important to me,” he said of the change in a statement. “It’s beautiful to know that sometimes, we can change the past.”

The new rendition of “I’m Not the Only One,” as well as the rest of the 10th anniversary edition of In the Lonely Hour, will be released on Friday, August 2.
