On 6 January Nick said about the song on Twitter:

Played a new song I wrote last night, at the show tonight called ‘Stay’. It's about fallin for someone. I hope you like it when you hear it.One of the lines is… 'Now that the pain is done, no need to be afraid, we don’t have time to waste, just tell me that you’ll stay'. 'One more line from ‘Stay’.'Beautiful, one of a kind. You’re something special babe, and you don’t even realize that your my hearts desire. [5] One final line for the night. ‘Its hard to believe where we are now, your hand in mine feels right somehow’ – Stay” [6]
