Love Me More Lyrics

[Chorus]
Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health?
Every day, I'm trying not to hate myself
But lately, it's not hurtin' like it did before
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

[Verse 1]
It used to burn
Every insult, every word
But it helped me learn (Yeah)
Self-worth I had to earn
So I tried every night
To sit with sorrow
And eventually, it set me free

[Chorus]
Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like the mirror isn't good for your health?
Every day, I'm trying not to hate myself
But lately, it's not hurtin' like it did before
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

[Post-Chorus]
Just a little bit, love me more
Just a little bit, love me more
Oh, no, love me more
Just a little bit, love me more

[Verse 2]
I used to cry (Oh, yeah), myself to sleep at night
I'd blame the sky when the mess was in my mind
I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe (Yeah)
So I sat with sorrow
And eventually, it set me free (Oh, no)

[Chorus]
Have you ever felt like being somebody else?
Feeling like that mirror isn't good for your health?
(If you have, let me hear you right now)
Every day, I'm tryin' not to hate myself (Hey, yeah)
But lately, it's not hurtin' like it did before (Sweet child, oh)
Maybe I am learning how to love me more

[Post-Chorus]
Just a little bit (Love me more)
Just a little bit (Love me more)
I'm gonna try to (Love me more)
With a little bit of love, oh (Love me more, yeah)

[Bridge]
Love me more (Oh)
Love me more (Just a little bit)
Love me more (Love me more)
Love me more

[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Gonna love me more) Gonna love me more
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Gonna love me more)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Gonna love me more)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, I'm gonna love me more

About

“Love Me More” is the first track on Sam Smith’s fourth album Gloria, released on 27th January 2023. It was also Sam’s first release of 2022 following their third studio album, Love Goes, in 2020.

The song has a catchy, emphatic beat that stays with the listener. The lyric deals with the subject of low self-esteem and overcoming self-hatred to achieve a more positive outlook, but does so with a subtle hint of humour and self-mockery.

Two subsequent acoustic versions, one with piano accompaniment and the other guitar have been received positively on social media.

Verified Commentary

Sam Smith

via Press Release

I wrote this song for anyone who feels different, anyone who has to stop themselves every day from saying unkind things to themselves, in their head, all the time. I felt like that for the longest time and slowly I’m learning how to just be nice to myself. I wanted to share that because I captured it in this song. Over the last two years, music has been my therapy more than ever. So I hope this song can be your friend.
