Sam Smith Adds Tom Petty to Songwriting Credits on Hit 'Stay With Me' Tom Petty and his collaborator Jeff Lynne may be raking in a few more -- highly debated -- dollars from a new songwriting credit on Sam Smith's hit "Stay With Me." The addition of Thomas Earl Petty and Jeff Lynne's names to the song's credits is the result of Petty's team noticing similarities between "Stay With Me" and "I Won't Back Down" and reaching out to Smith's representatives.

The "Stay With Me" bit is very close, both in sound and in arrangement. Although doubtless Lynn/Petty were both having to gamble out the benefit of the money from the credit against the calumny of being associated with Mr Smith.

the most plausible explanation is that Tom Petty is a member in Haven

It does sound similar, but then most songs bear some sort of resemblance to another song. There are only a few musical notes to choose from, so it would be impossible to write a tune which is completely unique.
