"Moments" is a song by German-Colombian producer Freddy Verano featuring Sam Smith, released as a single on 8 May 2015.[1] It was included on Smith's 2015 album, The Lost Tapes – Remixed, which features their early recordings.[2] The original version of the song, titled "Momentarily Mine", was recorded by Smith in 2008.[3]

Background

In 2008, Smith had signed a deal with Venus & Marc Music, a small UK independent label.[3] They started recording songs for their debut album and one of them was a piano ballad, "Momentarily Mine".[3] In 2009, a German dance label Kosmo Records, approached Venus & Mars Music and signed a worldwide license deal for remixing Smith's entire album when it was eventually released.[3] However in 2010, Smith decided to end their association with Venus & Marc Music and walked away from the deal.[3] When Smith became a marketable name, Kosmo Records used their rights to remix any of the tracks from their unreleased album.[3] After "When It's Alright" a year before, they did it with "Momentarily Mine" in 2015.[3] The song was now simply titled "Moments" and promoted under the name Freddy Verano featuring Sam Smith. It was radically transformed from a piano ballad to a house track.[3] The music video for "Moments" was released on 30 January 2015.[4]
