British singer / songwriter Sam Smith broke out big with Disclosure's track "Latch" (recently sampled on PARTYNEXTDOOR's last project) and hasn't looked back since, charting in the US with his song "Stay With Me" and making waves with his album The Lonely Hour. His latest track, "I'm Not The Only One," nabs A$AP Rocky for a guest verse.

The Pretty Motherfucker opens up the slow-paced track with bars about Beyoncé and idiotic women before disappearing for the next two minutes. He only gets two 16-bar verses, but blends in with the lush production by rapping with his usual semi-snobbish air -- Rocky "might of had a couple women at the same time," but he can still rap with the candor of a more down-to-earth dude.

Quotable Lyrics:

So Sasha Fierce, a whole lotta tears
Rollin' down her cheeks, cryin' 'til she fast asleep
Preach, pray that today is not a lonely one
You gotta know you're not the only one
