"I Would Stay" was the second single from Nothing Less, the debut album by Dutch pop rock band Krezip, released on 16 June 2000, and singer Jacqueline Govaert wrote it by herself at 17, in the wake of rows with her mother. It carries all the certainty of a teenager sure she has life worked out, and by her own admission she still half believes it.
At home it went off like a flare. The song held number one on the Dutch Top 40 for three weeks, topped the charts in Flanders as well, and ended up the third-biggest hit of the Dutch year. Its defining moment came at Pinkpop 2000, where Krezip's nationally televised set built to "I Would Stay" near the close, with Govaert all of 18.
