Singer-songwriter Myles Smith joined Jimmy Hill on The Capital Evening Show last night, where he openly praised his high-profile collaborators, Ed Sheeran and Alex Warren, saying that working alongside the pair "inspires him every day."

Smith, who recently released his new single 'Stay (If You Wanna Dance),' discussed his relationship with the two global stars, both of whom helped promote the new track.

"Ed I've known, like, the last sort of couple years and Alex probably the same, and they're just both incredible guys," Smith told Hill. He described them as "incredibly humble" and dedicated, adding that they genuinely love what they do and work hard at it. Smith emphasized the value he finds in simply being around them, noting, "I just love being in their company and love spending time and just being human with them. And I think it just inspires me every day."

Smith also shared the chaotic journey behind his new single. Unlike most meticulously planned releases, 'Stay (If You Wanna Dance)' went from conception to release in a rapid three weeks.

"I wrote it and put it on social media fairly soon after, and then said, 'We kind of got to figure out a release date now and finish the song because I've already put it on the Internet!'" Smith laughed.

The new track title drew instant comparisons to the 2013 R&B hit, 'Stay,' by Rihanna. Smith revealed that this was intentional, as he wrote his song with Mikky Ekko, the co-writer of Rihanna's classic.

"It came from us talking about wanting to write another 'Stay,'" he explained. While doubting it would reach the same massive heights, he confidently concluded, "we had a good crack at it."
