On social media, Sam Smith announced a new version of their In The Lonely Hour single, “I’m Not The Only One,” featuring Alicia Keys.
The singer posted the announcement on Instagram posing with Alicia Keys stating, “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.”
This won’t be the first time the pair have sung the song together. 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!”
“I’m Not The Only One” featuring Alicia Keys will be released with the digital version of Sam’s In The Lonely Hour (10th Anniversary Edition) on Friday August 2.
The 10th anniversary edition of In The Lonely Hour will be a re-recording of Sam Smith’s debut album and will also feature a rewritten version of “Stay With Me” to better reflect Sam’s gender identity.
“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,” they said of the change in a statement. “It’s beautiful to know that sometimes, we can change the past.”
