"Losing My Life" is a song by American rock band Falling in Reverse. It was released on June 26, 2018 through Epitaph Records. The song is the continuation of the previous single "Losing My Mind".[1] The song was re-released on April 8, 2019 as part of the Falling in Reverse EP Drugs.

Promotion and release[]

Following the release of the single "Losing My Mind", the band was expected to announce their upcoming fifth studio album following the release of their fourth studio album Coming Home. However after both singles were released, vocalist and bandleader Ronnie Radke announced that no albums would be released for a long time, for now they would only focus on releasing singles or EPs.[2]

The single was announced days before it was released, the preview video showed some scenes where the music video was recorded and moat a grave that marked the year 2033. Finally the single was released and the music video on YouTube reached a million views in just one week.[3] Vocalist Ronnie Radke spoke about the song:

"‘Losing My Life’ is the continuation of where ‘Losing My Mind’ ended. [It’s] the dichotomies and ironic parallels between self-reflection and the self-destructive nature that we as humans face on a daily basis in modern times."[1]

Composition and lyric[]

"Losing My Life" is the continuation of "Losing My Mind", Ronnie Radke spoke about the lyrics of the song: It be constant judgments from our peers, not being good enough, to not knowing who to trust, I’ve come to the realization that we are all the same at our core. Yet, ironically, we project our fears in the form of hate onto each other.[4] Ronnie Radke's rap influences are reflected in this song.

Music video[]

The music video was released the same day the single was released and was directed by Ethan Lader. In the music video it can be shown that Ronnie fights with his other person which seems to be the version of Ronnie that appears in the video for "Losing My Mind", it also shows us a part where Ronnie's daughter, Willow Radke, appears, who asks him why he went to prison. In other scenes an actress appears who represents Willow but in her adult version in the year 2033 trying to revive her father.[5]
