Jorja Smith continues her evolution with “The Way I Love You,” a house-driven single released on May 1, 2025, under FAMM. Produced by Ed Thomas, Maverick Sabre, and Shayk, the track leans into the club-heavy direction she explored on falling or flying, recalling the late 1990s and early 2000s house music era. The song’s infectious rhythm and deep basslines create an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Lyrically, Jorja Smith reflects on love and devotion, emphasizing that she will never love someone the way she loves the subject of the song. Her smooth vocals glide over the beat, reinforcing the emotional weight of the track. The production’s layered synths and pulsating groove make it a standout addition to her catalog, signaling a potential shift toward house and UK garage influences in her next project.
Following the success of falling or flying and its reimagined edition in 2024, Jorja Smith has kept momentum with singles like “High” and “Crush” featuring AJ Tracey. “The Way I Love You” arrives ahead of her upcoming UK tour and festival performances, making it a timely release for the summer season. The track is already gaining traction, positioning itself as a club favorite.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be without your love
I don’t wanna be without your trust
I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
How you gonna live without my love?
You don’t wanna see the end in us
Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you
No-no
[Verse 1]
What do you see when you look at me?
How do you feel when you’re touching my body? (My body)
It’s not as deep as it’s meant to be
Where do we go from here?
What do you do when I’m outside?
How do you feel? Are you missing me, baby?
I know you don’t tell me everything
But where do we go from here? (I-I-I-I)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna be without your—
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be without your love
I don’t wanna be without your trust
I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
How you gonna live without my love?
You don’t wanna see the end in us
Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you
No-no
[Verse 2]
Why’d you pretend you’re not into me?
We both know the truth, why we holding back, baby?
Is this as deep as it’s meant to be?
I don’t want to believe
I’m just as confused about you and me
We both said before we don’t want to be something
What a fantasy, this love could set me free
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna be without your love
I don’t wanna be without your trust
I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
How you gonna live without my love?
You don’t wanna see the end in us
Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you
No-no
[Outro]
I don’t wanna be without your—
I don’t wanna be without your—
