The song features American singer John Legend. It was written by Trainor, Justin Weaver, and Caitlyn Smith, and produced by Chris Gelbuda and Trainor. Released by Epic Records on June 23, 2015, as Trainor's fourth single from the album, it is a soul song. Lyrically, it is a love song with a theme of fatalism, and conveys the message to not take time with ones you love for granted. "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" received positive reviews from music critics, who appreciated the song's emphasis on Trainor's vocals. It topped the Australian singles chart for four consecutive weeks, and reached number one in New Zealand too. The song peaked at number eight on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, becoming Trainor's third top 10 single, while in Canada it peaked at number 25. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Constellation Jones and released on July 9, 2015. It depicts Trainor and Legend singing amid candlelight as it rains outside. Trainor promoted "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" in a number of appearances, including live performances at the 2015 ''Billboard'' Music Awards and on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon''. It was also performed at Trainor's That Bass Tour (2015) and MTrain Tour (2015). ==Writing and development== "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was written by Meghan Trainor, Justin Weaver, and Caitlyn Smith.〔 It was initially a demo Trainor composed "years ago", and wanted to exclude from the track listing of her major-label debut, ''Title'' (2015). The track was written to resonate similarly to the 1960 song "Stand by Me" and The Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" (1967). By the request of Trainor's uncle, Burton Toney, her management listened to the track. Trainor recalls one of her managers being brought to tears by the song, resulting in their intention to include it on the album.〔 The song was later produced by Trainor and Chris Gelbuda, a friend who she had first met in 2011 at a music conference in Colorado and later wrote Sabrina Carpenter's "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" with. During their recording of the track "3am" for ''Title'', Trainor told Gelbuda about "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", a reggae song which she felt was a misfit for the album. The pair brainstormed adjusting the song with Gelbuda playing various melodies on a guitar, concluding a change in sound and tempo. "She dug it and it just worked. We built the track together, she sang the vocals, and I worked at it for weeks," Gelbuda recalls.〔 They recorded "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" in 2014 at The Green Room in East Nashville, Nashville (Gelbuda's home studio). Trainor and Gelbuda performed all of the track's instrumentation, production and programming.〔〔 Initially intended to be a solo recording, Trainor's version was then sent by Trainor and her record label's chairman, L.A. Reid of Epic Records, to John Legend as he and Trainor shared the same management.〔〔 Legend replied, "I love this: I want to be a part of it".〔 His vocal was recorded by Jason Agel as a duet with Trainor's at Germano Studios in New York City, with the assistance of Kenta Yonesaka. In addition, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was mixed by Manny Marroquin at Larabee North Studios in Universal City, California, and mastered by Dave Kutch at The Mastering Palace in New York City.〔 According to Gelbuda, Trainor wanted to show a different side to her artistry with the track, describing it as "classic and jazzy" and "a big departure from everything she's done".〔 Trainor announced her collaboration with Legend in an interview with MTV News at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September 2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Like I'm Gonna Lose You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
