Lost on You

"Lost on You" is a song recorded by American recording artist LP (Laura Pergolizzi). It was released on November 20, 2015, as the second single from their third EP, Death Valley and the fourth studio album of the same name (2016). The song experienced commercial success, mostly in Central and Eastern Europe and Western Asia, and topped the charts of thirteen countries. The single was certified quadruple Platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry for sales exceeding 200,000 units. By November 2018, "Lost on You" received a release as a single in Mexico to much success. It was among the most-played songs on Top 40 radio stations in the country, mainly popular in Mexico City. In 2023, the song was included in the soundtrack of the Brazilian telenovela Terra e Paixão. Background Being about a failed relationship in her life, LP wrote the song after realizing that her girlfriend was not going to be her partner anymore. "I felt like my lover was drifting away – slowly leaving the building – and there was nothing that I could do," she stated. "It's a breakup song, but it happened almost a year before we broke up, and it was kind of like, 'Hey, do you see what's happening? Is it lost on you that this is going to die?' And then it did." The song was misconstrued, according to LP, although she did not mind it. "People would make it that it was romantic, like, I'm lost on you...Like it's about being lost being in love with you, and that's not really what 'Lost On You' is about. That's the beauty of songs." Composition Lasting 4 minutes and 26 seconds, the midtempo song is described as having "a really laid-back vibe, no beats and no rapping...just some strange wailing which sounds like an animal in its death throws, alone somewhere on the bleak tundra, with only the darkness of winter for company." Forbes called the song "an anthem, a juggernaut..." Toronto Star described it as a "post-breakup arena-folk anthem" and The Brag Media described it as a "southern-infused, ukulele-blues, whistling cry from a broken heart".
