"Stay with Me" (sometimes subtitled "Everybody's Free") is the first single from Ironik's debut album No Point in Wasting Tears. The song peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart.
The song was written for his younger sister. There was a message in the lyrics for her; Ironik said "With all these people dying, if anything happens to me, there's a message in it for her." The track was produced by Alex James Sparks and samples lyrics of the song "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" by Quindon Tarver, which is a cover of the Rozalla hit "Everybody's Free". It also heavily samples the song "Written in the Stars" by Westlife, used as the main melody and for the chorus. Both samples are high-pitched. The single was released in both a one-track version and an enhanced 6-track CD,[1] with 5 remixes of the song as well as the radio edit.
The single was released on 23 June 2008 for download and it entered the UK Singles Chart at number 13 before climbing to number six the week of its physical release. A week later, the song rose to its peak position of number five in the chart on 13 July 2008. On 20 July, it fell to number eight where it remained for two weeks.
In Ireland, the song reached its peak of number 10 in its first week (12 July 2008) and then fell one place to number 11 the next week. Later it peaked at number 8.
Music videoedit
The video features Ironik in different scenes throughout London where bad events have happened. The main being his girlfriend who is in hospital and him visiting her. He later visits her and sees her bed is empty. Fearing the worst, he turns to see her standing behind him in good health. He is also seen in a church.
