"Lose My Breath" is a song by American group Destiny's Child. It was written by Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III, Sean Garrett, and Shawn Corey "Jay-Z" Carter for the group's fourth studio album, ''Destiny Fulfilled'' (2004). Columbia Records released "Lose My Breath" as the first single from the album in late 2004. The song was partially developed by Jerkins before being presented to Destiny's Child and its chorus was afterwards written by Jay-Z. An uptempo R&B and dance song, "Lose My Breath" has a marching, military percussion-led instrumentation with different sound effects in its backing track. It received positive reviews from music critics who generally praised its melody and instrumentation. The track further received a Grammy Awards nomination in the category for Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. "Lose My Breath" was commercially successful peaking at number three on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and reaching the top spot on many charts in Europe as well as appearing in the top ten in almost every chart. The single's music video directed by Marc Klasfeld and filmed in Los Angeles, California, featured Destiny's Child performing dance choreographies portraying three different characters. The song was performed during the group's tour Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It (2005) and on numerous televised appearances and awards ceremonies in 2004 and 2005. The American Broadcasting Company used "Lose My Breath" as the official song for the NBA playoffs in 2004 and 2005. ==Background and release== "Lose My Breath" was written by Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Fred Jerkins, Sean Garrett, LaShawn Daniels and Jay-Z. The production of the song was handled by Jerkins, Beyoncé, Rowland and Garrett. Record producer Jerkins, who had previously collaborated with the group for "Say My Name" (2000), had worked on "Lose My Breath" without informing Destiny's Child. Beyoncé and Williams heard the drum instrumentation of the track and they enjoyed it with the latter feeling that the song was nothing like the mainstream radio sound. They went to their band mate Kelly Rowland presenting the song. Alongside Jerkins, the group asked for help from American rapper Jay-Z who immediately created a chorus including the lines "Can you keep up" without hearing the track. The group took his chorus and wrote the verses and bridge around it.〔 During an interview with ''Complex'', Garrett recalled the time he worked with Williams on the song, saying, "There was so much magic going on in the studio. We probably recorded all the songs in about a month and every day it was a new song coming out. 'Lose My Breath' was towards the latter part of the album and that was an amazing song that we felt could not only be big on the radio but big with bands and marching bands. I was on a natural high after that." Following the three-year hiatus of the group, "Lose My Breath" was considered as their comeback release.〔 It premiered on September 9, 2004 on AOL Music. In the US, the single was released in different versions; "Lose My Breath" itself was available for digital purchase on October 5, 2004.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lose My Breath - Single by Destiny's Child )〕 On November 2, it was released along with "Soldier" and "Game Over" separately, the former being an EP with several remixes of "Lose My Breath" being also available.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lose My Breath / Soldier - EP by Destiny's Child )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lose My Breath - Single by Destiny's Child )〕 A 12-inch vinyl single of the song was released on the same date.
