Songfacts®:

  • "With You" is a summer-themed love song about a partner who's always held Jorja Smith's heart, even during stretches of separation. Despite the highs and lows, she's certain of one thing: she doesn't want life without him.
  • Despite fan curiosity and speculation, Jorja Smith has not publicly named the specific boyfriend who inspired the song.
  • Smith teamed up with her go-to producers Maverick Sabre and Ed Thomas for "With You," adding Jakwob (Aurora, Little Simz) into the production mix as well this time around. The trio came up with a shuffling, garage-inspired cut tinged with romance thanks to the lovestruck guitar in the mix.
  • Smith debuted "With You" live during her Falling Or Flying tour in May 2025. At first she introduced it as a song about one particular "really special person," but she had an epiphany at a show in Germany.

    "I give everything, and I'm so vulnerable in my songs and everything, and just my fans are always there for me," Smith told BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders. "And just as I was singing it and looking at everyone, it kind of made me emotional."

    And so, what started as a romantic ballad turned into a love letter to her fans.
  • The cinematic music video, directed by Ivor Lawson-Adamah, follows Jorja Smith alongside her on-screen partner (played by Dan Farrelly), visually capturing moments of shared glances, laughter, and quiet reflection.
