The single “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” featuring John Legend is the fourth track on Meghan Trainor’s debut album Title. Released earlier this year, it has a pessimistic take on life. “We’re not promise tomorrow,” the English diva sings in melancholy. Yet it fittingly welcomes the year, as sometimes we need to get slapped by some brutal truth. The track is not all rainclouds, though. First listen, you know it is a sad song, yet it was washed away by an uplifting realization. “So, I’m gonna love you, like I’m gonna lose you/ I’m gonna hold you, like I’m saying goodbye.” Aww.
With Meghan’s debut album receiving mix responses, many did agree to the track being a refresher from her “All That Bass” tune (a tune similar to her other tracks in the album, which lead to the conclusion of the album being an “All That Bass” rehash). Meghan’s vocals rang loud and clear in this track. The sincerity is tangible with each delivery of notes. It is another side of Meghan hiding behind the quirky productions and her jibes, which she always delivers in silent winks.
It is already established that the track is brimming with feels – John Legend’s silky voice blending in depth with Meghan’s Trainor sweet soprano in a down-tempo ballad will have your heart warming – yet it was further emphasized in the music video released by the English singer slash songwriter recently last early July.
The music video started with Meghan in a room dimly illuminated by candles. It was raining and Meghan was singing about a bad dream, “I woke up in tears with you by my side/ Breath of relief and I realized/ No, we’re not promised tomorrow.” Then showing different kinds of love, it helped build the character of the track in less than 4-minute video.
Refreshing, inspiring, and heartfelt – we’re waiting for another one of these from Meghan.
