"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor featuring singer John Legend. Epic Records serviced it to contemporary hit radio on June 23, 2015, as the fourth and final single from Trainor's debut major-label studio album Title (2015). Trainor co-wrote it with Justin Weaver and Caitlyn Smith, and co-produced it with Chris Gelbuda. "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a soul love song which conveys the message to not take time with loved ones for granted. Trainor wrote it after she dreamed about a loved one dying.
Some critics praised the song as a welcomed change of pace from Trainor's previous work and noted its focus on her vocals. However, the single received overall mixed reviews, with some critics describing it as a formulaic ballad. "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" topped the Australian singles chart for four consecutive weeks, and the New Zealand singles chart for three weeks. It also peaked at number eight on both the Billboard Hot 100, and the Canadian Hot 100, becoming Trainor's third top 10 single in both countries. "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA for shipments in excess of four million copies.
Constellation Jones directed the music video, which was released on July 9, 2015. It depicts Trainor and Legend singing in a candlelit building as it rains outside, interspersed with scenes of diverse types of relationships. Trainor has performed "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" live on several shows, including the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and the American Music Awards of 2015. It was also performed during Trainor's That Bass Tour (2015), MTrain Tour (2015) and The Untouchable Tour (2016). "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" has been covered by American girl group Fifth Harmony at the 2016 Billboard Women in Music ceremony.

"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was written by Meghan Trainor, Justin Weaver, and Caitlyn Smith.[1] It was composed as a demo "years ago", but Trainor was at first hesitant to show the song to her record label during the recording of her debut album, Title (2015).[2] At the request of Trainor's uncle, Burton Toney, her management listened to the track. Trainor recalls one of her managers being brought to tears by the song, resulting in the decision to include it on the album.[2]
The song was produced by Trainor and Chris Gelbuda, who she had first met in 2011 at a music conference in Colorado. They later co-wrote Sabrina Carpenter's "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying". During their recording of the track "3am" for Title, Trainor told Gelbuda about "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", a reggae song which she felt was a poor fit for the album. The pair brainstormed, with Gelbuda playing various melodies on a guitar, resulting in a change in sound and tempo. "She dug it and it just worked. We built the track together, she sang the vocals, and I worked at it for weeks," Gelbuda recalls.[3][4] They recorded "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" in 2014 at The Green Room, Gelbuda's home studio, in East Nashville, Tennessee. Trainor and Gelbuda did all of the track's instrumentation, production, and programming.[1][4]
Initially intended to be a solo recording, L.A. Reid sent it to John Legend, who shares the same management as Trainor.[2][3] Legend said, "I love this: I want to be a part of it".[2] Jason Agel recorded Legend's vocals as a duet with Trainor's at Germano Studios in New York City, with the assistance of Kenta Yonesaka. Manny Marroquin mixed "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" at Larabee North Studios in Universal City, California, and Dave Kutch mastered it at The Mastering Palace in New York City.[1] Gelbuda describes it as "classic and jazzy" and "a big departure from everything she's done".[4]
Composition and lyrical interpretation[]
"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a retro style soul ballad.[5] It features Trainor's soprano vocals in a duet with Legend, and includes additional background vocals by Trainor and Gelbuda.[1][6] The track comprises minimal harmonies and instrumental accompaniment, showcasing Trainor and Legend's vocals at its forefront.[7] Critics noted the song has a more earnest, tender, and subdued sound compared Trainor's other material.[8][9][10]
Characterized as a love song with a lyrical theme of fatalism, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" channels anxiety about losing someone into determination to make the most of every moment.[9][11][12] According to Gelbuda, the track is about not taking time with loved ones for granted.[3] Trainor dreamt about losing a loved one, which led to the song's creation.[13]
Critical reception[]
Critics praised the song for its composition. Rolling Stone writer Chuck Arnold called it "finger-snapping balladry", likening it to a duet between Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.[14] Melanie J. Sims of the Associated Press felt that "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was the "most refreshing" track on Title, and deemed it "a nice change of pace sonically".[10] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday called the song "classic-sounding" and said that it would stick with Trainor throughout her "sure-to-be-lengthy" career.[5] Martin Townsend of the Daily Express named "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", along with "Walkashame", as the album's best tracks.[15] Trainor's voice was also the subject of praise from reviewers. Sims wrote it "gives Trainor's vocals the main stage, without a catchy hook or quirky production" distracting from them.[10] Similarly, Elysa Gardener of USA Today wrote that Trainor is "at her most appealing when she doesn't try to be sly or subversive", and called her "yearning" soprano a perfect match for Legend's "silky" voice.[6] Virgin Media's Ian Gittins opined that the song manifested Trainor's vocal prowess.[16]
Other critics responded positively to Legend, but had a more mixed response for Trainor and the single itself. The Daily Telegraph's Helen Brown opined that the ballad was formulaic, but complimented Legend's sincerity of tone.[17] Commenting that the track "played to the smarm of Legend", Daily News writer Jim Farber further added, "Trainor can turn earnest—not always in a good way".[8] Marc Hirsh of The Boston Globe wrote, "When [Trainor] steps away from pastiche, she struggles; John Legend comes through loud and clear on boilerplate ballad 'Like I'm Gonna Lose You,' while she could be anybody at all".[18] Billboard writer Carl Wilson said Legend's vocal added "deeper textures to an otherwise static [song]".[19]
Chart performance[]
"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" debuted at number 63 on the Canadian Hot 100 and number 11 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles charts issued for January 31, 2015.[20][21] The song later re-entered US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at a new peak of number 10 for the chart dated June 6, 2015.[22] For the chart dated July 25, 2015, the track debuted on the Hot 100 at number 95. On the week charting October 3, 2015, the song charted at number 45 and steadily rose to a peak position of number 18 on November 6, and later reached a new peak of number 8, on the issue dated 12 December, thus becoming Trainor's third and Legend's second top-10 single.[23] It also peaked at number one on the Adult Top 40 chart.[24]
In Australia, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" debuted at number 80 on the Australian Singles Chart issued for June 8, 2015. It climbed 61 positions to number 19 the following week, marking Trainor fifth consecutive top-20 hit in the country.[25] The following week, it ascended to number five, finally hitting the number one position on the chart the following week.[26] It stayed at number one for a total of four weeks.[27] In New Zealand, the song debuted on the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 26 on the chart dated June 29, 2015. In its second week, the song dropped to number 32, before rising to number 13 the following week. After four weeks on the chart, the song was certified gold and reached number one, marking Trainor's third number-one hit and fifth top-10 hit.[28][29] It gave Legend his first number-one single in the country and his second top-10.[29]
Music video[]
The music video for "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", directed by Constellation Jones, was released on July 9, 2015.[30] A behind the scenes video was released on July 21, 2015.[31][32] The video was well received for its incorporation of different types of couples (heterosexual, homosexual, interracial, intergenerational) and relationships (mother and daughter, grandmother and granddaughter).[33] Jezebel writer Hillary Crosley Coker likened it to the music video for Kanye West's "Only One".[34]
In the video, Trainor is singing amid candlelight in a darkened building as it rains outside. As the video continues, a montage of love and affection amongst all walks of life plays out dramatically.[35] The different types of love are shown in the rain backdrop, these include: a mother and child, romantic couples, and friends. Legend joins Trainor in the darkened building and the video ends with the rain stopping and sunshine becoming visible again.[36]

Trainor and Legend's first performance together of "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards on May 17, 2015.[42][43] According to Hugh McIntyre of Forbes, the rendition was widely applauded.[44] It was the third most-tagged performance of the night on Shazam. William Gruger of Billboard wrote, "It's notable that Shazam was so popular with the slow, ballad-oriented tracks, which suggested that they were some of the most engaging moments of the evening".[45] The performance spurred a 45% increase in Title's unit sales in the United States, helping it rise seven positions to number five on the Billboard 200 that week.[46] Trainor climbed from number seven to number four on the as a result.[43] Joe Lynch of Billboard described the rendition as "one of the night's quiet victories: Not a show-stopper, but a performance that stuck with you".[47]
