âLay Me Downâ was released on Samâs debut album, In The Lonely Hour, as the lead single from the album. Much of In the Lonely Hour deals with a case of unrequited love Smith suffered when they fell for a straight man, and thus, not interested in their advances. The singer explained during their performance at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London that they wrote âLay Me Downâ after deleting the unresponsive man from their social media account. Smith explained to MTV News how this was the song that kick-started their music career âDisclosure heard Lay Me Down,â and after that it was like a domino effect,â he said. âWe wrote Latchâ together, and then Naughty Boy heard Latchâ and we wrote La La Laâ together, and then I had a number-one single in the UK.â The song was re-recorded for a 2015 re-release following Smithâs commercial success.
