I was on Warner Brothers, they got new people in who didn't like me, who didn't sign me, who didn't care, and they basically said 'Hey, come in and play us your new shit, so we can decide if we want to keep you on the label." LP says that although she still has the scars of the breakup, she is very proud of the song's success. I get these interviews that are very kind and in awe of the whole thing and they'll be, like, 'You must have known it was a huge hit when you wrote it.' And I didn’t know shit. Īfter the song became a huge hit in Europe, LP stated ".I was already fuckin' 30 to 40 songs away in my writing. In Russia the "Lost on You" Swanky Tunes & Going Deeper Remix was No. Regarding its success in Greece, Panagiotis Loulourgas, head of international and A&R manager at the Greek record label Cobalt Music, said it was due to "the feeling of the track, it’s everything.

It is a break-up song that has resonated with millions of people all over the world.It is resigned and hopeful, fragile and strong the intimate lyrics and stadium-sized chorus capture the emotional rollercoaster of a heartbreak." Rachael Scarsbrook from Renowned For Sound said the song "is reserved yet nuanced enough to strike a real connection between artist and listener." Michelle Blakey from The Lesbian Review describes 'Lost on You' as "a deeply emotional song chronicling the demise of a relationship.It climbs steadily toward a chorus in which her voice erupts into an injured rage.It is a gut-wrenching song that anyone who has ever felt betrayed by a loved one can relate to." Success Īlthough the song was released in November 2015, with the singer already playing the song to various record companies, it did not initially achieve any chart success. LP plays ukulele during the course of the song, in addition to her intermittent whistles.įorbes praised the song as being "a cry from a broken heart watching the fading embers of a dying love. The song is written in the key of F minor, with a shuffle rhythm, and has a tempo of 86 beats per minute.
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."

"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. "I felt like my lover was drifting away – slowly leaving the building – and there was nothing that I could do," she stated. 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.
