Sam Smith Hints At Collaboration With Taeyeon For I'm Not The Only One 10th Anniversary Edition

Prepare yourself for an electrifying collaboration between Sam Smith and Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon! In a surprising and exciting announcement, British singer-songwriter Sam Smith has hinted at a new collaboration with popular South Korean singer Taeyeon. The two artists are about to release a special remix of Smith’s 2014 hit I’m Not The Only One on August 30, to commemorate the iconic song’s 10th anniversary. On August 29, Smith took to Instagram to share the news with their followers, confirming that Taeyeon will feature on this new edition of the track.

The remix has already generated significant buzz, particularly in South Korea, where fans are eager to see how Taeyeon’s distinct vocal style will complement Smith’s tones.

As soon as the Unholy singer shared the update, fans had various reactions to it on social media. “Omg, That’s so huge. All the Best Yeon,” wrote a user.

“Taeyeonnnnnnnn can’t wait,” said another one.

“I’m living in the cloud today. Kim Taeyeon Jiang,” commented a fan of the idol.

Another user expressed surprise saying, “Despite how many articles/ posts I’ve read, I still can’t believe it :))) Like OMG what??? It’s the collab that we didn’t know we needed.”

This collaboration is a special one for both artists. For Taeyeon, it is an opportunity to further establish her presence in the global music scene. As the leader of Girls’ Generation (also known as SNSD), Taeyeon has long been a key figure in K-pop, with a career that began in 2007. Her participation in this remix could serve as a stepping stone to even broader international recognition.

In addition to her work with SNSD, Taeyeon is also a member of SM Entertainment’s supergroup Got the Beat, which includes other major K-pop stars such as BoA and Red Velvet’s Seulgi and Wendy. Some of her notable solo tracks include Why, Rain, Starlight and Weekend. Her most recent single, Heaven, released in July 2024.

For Sam Smith, whose 2014 single I’m Not The Only One has garnered over 1.6 billion views on YouTube, the remix offers a chance to expand its reach within the South Korean market. The collaboration is expected to introduce Smith to a new audience.

The remix of I’m Not The Only One, featuring Taeyeon, is scheduled for release on August 30.
