Background, content and release[]

In the 1970s, Margo Smith became successful through a series of hits in the country field. Songs like "There I Said It" (1975), "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" (1978), "Little Things Mean a Lot" (1978) and "Still a Woman" became major hits on the Billboard country singles chart.[2] In later decades, Smith formed a Christian duo with her daughter and released a series of albums in the same format. Continuing to tour as both a country and Christian artist, she would release Nothing to Lose in 2005.[3] The album contained a total of ten tracks, six of which were composed by Smith herself. This included the title track, "God Gave Me You" and "When You're Down to Nothing".[1]

Nothing to Lose also contained four recordings composed by other songwriters. This included a cover of the Christian hymns, "At the Feet of Jesus," "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" and the Ray Stevens song "Everything Is Beautiful". The album was produced by musician Dave Moody and was recorded at dLab Studios.[4] The project was released on January 5, 2005 via Lamon Records. It was offered as a compact disc and a music download.[5][4] It was Smith's first studio album since 1993's Swiss, Cowboy and Country. It was also her eighteenth studio recording and first for Lamon Records.[4]
