Today I want to talk about a song that, as a 20-year-old woman, has made me reflect deeply about love and trust: "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith. This modern classic, released in 2014, remains an anthem for anyone who's experienced the pain of watching a once-unique love crumble before their eyes.
With his soulful voice and heartbreaking vulnerability, Sam Smith tells the story of a relationship fractured by infidelity. The song isn't just about betrayal - it captures that silent agony of knowing your partner is emotionally absent even when physically present. As a young woman, I relate to the internal conflict described in the lyrics: "You say I'm crazy, 'cause you don't think I know what you've done."That line particularly reflects the frustration of being invalidated, of having your intuition dismissed as "paranoia" rather than being heard.
The musical production, with its melancholic piano and soaring gospel-tinged choruses, creates an atmosphere that immerses you in the character's anguish. While the song focuses on a specific situation, its universal message about lost trust and self-respect resonates with anyone who's ever loved and felt that love wasn't reciprocated.
In an era where relationships can feel as volatile as social media feeds, "I'm Not the Only One" reminds me of the importance of valuing ourselves more than any toxic bond. Sam Smith doesn't just sing about pain - he pushes us to confront uncomfortable truths: How much are we willing to tolerate deception out of fear of being alone?

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una canción que, como joven de 20 años, me ha hecho reflexionar sobre las complejidades del amor y la desconfianza: "I’m Not the Only One" de Sam Smith. Este clásico moderno, lanzado en 2014, sigue siendo un himno para quienes han experimentado el dolor de sentir que el amor que creían único se desmorona ante sus ojos.
Sam Smith, con su voz cargada de soul y una vulnerabilidad desgarradora, narra la historia de una relación fracturada por la infidelidad. La canción no solo habla de traición, sino también de esa agonía silenciosa de saber que tu pareja está emocionalmente ausente, incluso cuando físicamente está a tu lado. Como mujer joven, me identifico con la lucha interna que describe la letra: "You say I’m crazy, ’cause you don’t think I know what you’ve done". Esa línea, en particular, refleja la frustración de ser invalidada, de que tus intuiciones sean minimizadas como "paranoia" en lugar de ser escuchadas.
La producción musical, con su piano melancólico y los coros que escalan hasta un clímax emocional, crea una atmósfera que te envuelve en la angustia del personaje. Aunque la canción se centra en una situación específica, su mensaje universal sobre la pérdida de confianza y el auto-respeto resuena en cualquier persona que haya amado y sentido que ese amor no era recíproco.
En una era donde las relaciones suelen ser tan volátiles como las redes sociales, "I’m Not the Only One" me recuerda la importancia de valorarnos a nosotras mismas antes que a cualquier vínculo tóxico. Sam Smith no solo canta sobre dolor, sino que también nos empuja a confrontar verdades incómodas: ¿hasta qué punto estamos dispuestas a tolerar el engaño por miedo a la soledad?

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts
For months on end, I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though God knows you have mine
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I don't know
I know I'm not the only one
