"Here With Me" is what Dido calls a "post-shag song." It finds her in a state of bliss, awaiting her lover's return. Dido wrote the song the day after meeting her boyfriend, a lawyer named Bob Page, at a London nightclub in 1995. They got engaged in 2001 but called off the wedding the following year.
This was the theme song to the WB television show Roswell, known in Dido's native UK as Roswell High. The series, about teenagers and aliens (and teenage aliens) lasted three seasons, from 1999-2002, and for many was the first place they heard Dido.
In America, "Here With Me" was Dido's first single, released in 1999 ahead of her debut album No Angel. She toured the US in 2000 and the song got some traction that year, landing a modest chart position of #116 in October. A short time later, her song "Thank You" was sampled on Eminem's hit "Stan," which gave her a huge boost. "Here With Me" was then issued in the UK and rose to #4. The No Angel album ended up selling 3 million copies in the UK and 4 million in America.
