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]
