"Lost in You" is the fourth and final single released from Three Days Grace's third album, Life Starts Now. The song was released for radio airplay on February 1, 2011.[1] Much like "Never Too Late", it was a crossover song to top 40 radio. The song is also the band's first entry into adult contemporary stations; the first stations being on CFIT-FM Calgary, CKSY-FM Chatham-Kent, CJRL-FM Kenora and WNIC Detroit.

Background

"Lost in You" is considered somewhat unusual for the band. The song expresses a more affectionate sentiment than is typically found in the band's music.[2] While electric guitars still play a prominent role, the focus is on Adam Gontier's voice and the melody.[2]

The lyrics are bittersweet as Gontier sings about a love that has its ups and downs.[2]

On March 15, 2011, the band released an EP, via online download, containing the piano version of "World So Cold" and a cover of the Fleetwood Mac song "The Chain" in promotion of "Lost in You".[3][4]

The song won a BDS Certified Spin Award based on the 50,000 spins it received in 2011.[5] The song also won the "Pop/Rock Music Award" at the 2012 SOCAN Awards.[6]
