Five years after Sam Smith released his breakthrough single “Stay With Me,” the singer celebrated the track reaching a huge milestone. “Seems like yesterday that me, @jimmynapes & @Tourist wrote ‘Stay With Me,'” he wrote on Tuesday morning (Sept. 10). “I remember playing it to friends & family. Feeling so proud and excited. Incredibly surreal & mad feeling knowing that our little kid’s been streamed over 1 BILLION FUCKING TIMES. Wild wild wild. Wild life.”
