"Losing My Edge" is the debut single by American rock band LCD Soundsystem. It was released as a 12-inch single in July 2002, through DFA Records. It was later featured on the CD version of their eponymous debut studio album. "Losing My Edge" peaked at number 115 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also listed at number 13 on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000s list.[1] In October 2011, NME placed it at number 40 on its "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years" list.[2] In June 2018, Rolling Stone listed it at number 77 on its "The 100 Greatest Songs of the Century – So Far" list.[3]

Background

In an interview with the music site "ireallylovemusic", Murphy explained his inspiration for the song: "When I was DJing, playing Can, Liquid Liquid, ESG, all that kind of stuff, I became kind of cool for a moment, which was a total anomaly. And when I heard other DJs playing similar music ...I was afraid that this new found coolness was going to go away and that's where 'Losing My Edge' comes from."[4]

Composition

"Losing My Edge" is a dance-punk,[5] alternative dance,[6] and techno[7] song. It features a rhythm similar to "Change" by Killing Joke.[8] DFA Records cofounder Tim Goldsworthy admitted that ""Losing My Edge" was "a rip-off of a Killing Joke track".[9]
