Fresh off tour supporting Ed Sheeran, Myles Smith unveils his brand new single

Fresh off his tour supporting Ed Sheeran, Myles Smith is back with his new single, the upbeat anthem "Stay (If You Wanna Dance)." This latest release marks another milestone in what has been a breakthrough year for Smith, solidifying his place as one of the most exciting new voices in British music. The track arrives with huge anticipation, following a teaser campaign—boosted by global superstars Ed Sheeran and Alex Warren—in which Myles shared a clip of the song and revealed that he had written it just two days earlier after performing in Copenhagen.

“This song is about escaping the cycle that makes life feel smaller than it really is," Myles says of the single. "At its heart, it’s about connection, freedom, and choosing to live for now.”

This year has been nothing short of meteoric for Myles. He's played to over 100,000 people across his own sold-out headline shows in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and North America, in addition to a packed-out Glastonbury performance. In May, he won the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work and was recently confirmed as the main support for Ed Sheeran's US tour in Summer 2026.

2024 was also a landmark year for Myles. He won the BRITs' Rising Star award, was named BBC Introducing Artist of the Year, and landed a spot on the BBC Sound of 2025 longlist. His breakthrough single, "Stargazing," became the biggest global hit of the year by a UK artist, spending 29 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and fast approaching one billion global Spotify streams. Projected to hit three billion streams across his catalog before October, "Stargazing" has cemented itself as a modern classic, topping airplay charts in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, and many other countries.

Myles's journey began in Luton, where he learned guitar and piano by age 12 and honed his craft playing pubs and open-mic nights. His ability to connect through heartfelt storytelling and melodic sincerity has made him one of the UK’s most compelling new voices, and his trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.
