In a press release, Smith expressed that this song goes out to those who have felt different and those that often have to “stop themselves” from being unkind to themselves. What does Sam Smith have to say about “Love Me More”? Ultimately, when one starts being kinder to oneself, accepting their strengths and acknowledging their faults, it’ll be the first step to loving themself more. They (Sam) go on to say that even acknowledging one’s feelings, even the ones we find hardest to such as “sorrow” has made them stronger and has “set (them) free”. The good thing is that Smith has shown us that one shouldn’t let such criticism bring you down, but instead use it to grow positively. So, what increases this self-negativity that we inflict ourselves with? One of the reasons would be criticism received from external parties. Smith shares that the self-doubt and negativity they have inflicted on themselves slowly fades away as they learn to love themselves more. The most important thing, though, is their answer to their question nearing the end of the chorus. The question: “Have you ever felt like being somebody else?” Starting the song with a question that we all can find relatable at some point in our lives, we feel as if Smith has read our diary pages. Smith shows that the journey is not an easy one as they draw inspiration from their personal life experiences such as their battle with body image. The track encompasses the feelings of liberation and joy after learning to show a “little bit” of love to yourself day by day.
