"Love Is a Losing Game" is a song written and recorded by English recording artist Amy Winehouse for her second album ''Back to Black'' (2006). The track was chosen as the fifth single from the album. It was the final single released in her lifetime. The single was released on December 10, 2007 in the United Kingdom. The song was added to BBC Radio 1's playlist on November 7, 2007. ==Release and response== George Michael named the song as one of his eight choices on the Radio Four programme Desert Island Discs. When asked which of his eight choices he would pick if he had to choose one, he opted for "Love Is a Losing Game". Prince has taken to covering the song live. On 21 September 2007, he was joined onstage by Winehouse at the final aftershow of his 21-gig marathon at The O2, and they performed the song together.〔Eliscu, Jenny (2007-06-14), ("The Diva and Her Demons" ).
