About Like I'm Gonna Lose You (feat. John Legend)

"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.
