Composition
"Here with Me" is composed in E♭ major. The song was called reminiscent of Marshmello's earlier electronic production work, with the opening being "markedly restrained" that "provides a rare chance for him to experiment with guitars."[4] The instrumentation was also described as "acoustic guitars and EDM beats".[5]
Promotion
Along with announcing the song, Marshmello posted a 19-second snippet of the song, with Your EDM saying that the collaboration sounds more like Marshmello's previous singles with vocalists instead of his Joytime album series material.[6] On April 3, 2019, Marshmello and Chvrches gave a live performance of "Here with Me" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Critical reception
Stereogum called it "standard-issue dance-pop fluff, with a bit more of an emotional pull to it thanks to Mayberry's performance. It's the sort of song that you might forget about immediately after hearing."[2]
Chart performance
"Here with Me" became Marshmello's fourth number one (and his seventh top ten) and Chvrches' first on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart. It is also the highest position peak for Chvrches on a Billboard airplay chart to date.[7] It also reached the top twenty in Canada.[8] It peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart.[9] It charted at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming Chvrches' first entry on the chart & their highest charting single in the country.[10]
