About I'm Not the Only One
"I'm Not the Only One" is a song recorded by English singer Sam Smith from their debut studio album, In the Lonely Hour (2014). It was written by Smith with Jimmy Napes, who also produced the song along with Steve Fitzmaurice. Capitol Records released it to digital download on 31 August 2014 as the album's third single in the United Kingdom and on 24 September 2014 as the album's second single in the United States; an alternative version with American rapper A$AP Rocky was also released. A piano soul ballad, anchored by orchestral strings and a gospel structure, "I'm Not the Only One" deals with themes of infidelity in a relationship and was inspired by a marriage of someone Smith and Napes knew. It received a positive response from critics, who praised their emotional vocals and its instrumentation. Commercially, the song was another success for Smith, becoming a top-three hit in the United Kingdom, a top-five hit in the United States, and a top-ten hit in over ten countries. A music video featuring actors Dianna Agron and Chris Messina was released on 1 August 2014 and it features content similar to the song's lyrics.more »

A new disease in my town called IdioticEvery pretty lady in my city got it, point blankPeriodically empty seats, dine at CiprianisLike Beyoncé, they're getting by or they get embodiedSo Sasha Fierce, a whole lot of tearsRolling down her cheeks, crying till she's sound asleep (sleep)Preach (preach), pray (pray) that today is not a lonely oneYou gotta know you not the only oneYou and me, we made a vowFor better or for worseI can't believe you let me downBut the proof is in the way it hurtsFor months on end I've had my doubtsDenying every tearI wish this would be over nowBut I know that I still need you hereYou say I'm crazy'Cause you don't think I know what you've doneBut when you call me babyI know I'm not the only oneYou've been so unavailableNow sadly I know whyYour heart is unobtainableEven though God knows you have mineYou say I'm crazy'Cause you don't think I know what you've doneBut when you call me babyI know I'm not the only oneWe all guilty of the same crime if you ask meI might've had a couple women at the same timeShe can't handle the pressure, Jack Daniels for breakfastA cap of valium mixed with antidepressants, preciousMy momma said that we need loveTill I found out life's a bitch with no prenup, you're on your ownDivorces or court splits, decisions and choicesThe Porsche or the fortress? Ignore it or forfeitYou say I'm crazy'Cause you don't think I know what you've doneBut when you call me babyI know I'm not the only oneI know I'm not the only oneI know I'm not the only oneAnd I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I don't knowI know I'm not the only one
