Myles Smith bares his soul on his third EP, A Minute, A Moment…, with songs about love, heartbreak, and finding himself. It features six fresh tracks, bundled together with Smith's 2024 EP A Minute..., which features his breakthrough hit, “Stargazing.” The UK singer-songwriter has gone from playing Ed Sheeran covers when he was 11 to supporting his idol on his European tour—and he found time to pick up the Rising Star Award at the 2025 BRITs. The love Smith sings about isn’t always straightforward: He pleads with an ex to get back together on “Made for Me” and finds summer romance on the handclap-heavy “Gold,” but “My First Heartbreak” sees him at his most personal as he shares his feelings about his father leaving the family home: “They say blood’s thicker than water, but I’m closer to the ocean than to you.”
Each of the six new tracks showcases a confident and distinctive sound that mixes pop and country with his trademark vocals, which can easily turn from sweet to powerful. The songs never need to beg for a sing-along, so it’s no surprise he’s attracted collaborators including James Bay and Lainey Wilson, who brings a new perspective to his megahit “Nice to Meet You.” Smith, meanwhile, is keeping his feet firmly on the ground as international success builds. “Ten years ago I thought Luton was the edge of the earth, last year I thought it was England, and now it’s the world,” he tells Apple Music’s Rebecca Judd. “I just want to continue to make music that connects and keep doing what I’m doing.”
Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Time stood still just like a photograph
You made me feel like this would last forever
Lookin' in your eyes
I see my whole life
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
They say you know it when you know it, and I know
Oh, oh
Promise that you'll hold me close, don't let me go (Hey)
[Chorus]
Take my heart, don't break it
Love me to my bones
All this time I've wasted
You were right there all along
You and I stargazin'
Intertwinin' souls
We were never strangers
You were right therе all along
[Verse 2]
I lose my mind
When I'm around you, how I come alivе
When I'm without you, I can't help but feel so lost
I wanna give you all I've got
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh
They say you know it when you know it, and I know
Oh, oh
Promise that you'll hold me close, don't let me go (Hey!)
[Chorus]
Take my heart, don't break it
Love me to my bones
All this time I've wasted
You were right there all along
You and I stargazin'
Intertwinin' souls
We were never strangers
You were right there all along
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
All along
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Take my heart, don't break it
Love me to my bones
All this time I've wasted
You were right there all along
