Lost in You is a song by British singer Rod Stewart, released in 1988 as the lead single from his fifteenth studio album Out of Order. It was written by Stewart (lyrics) and Andy Taylor (music), and produced by Stewart, Taylor and Bernard Edwards. "Lost in You" peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 21 on the UK Singles Chart.[1][2]

In the liner notes of Storyteller – The Complete Anthology: 1964–1990, Stewart said of the song: "It was a Wednesday evening and we'd been hard at it in the studio, coming up with nothing. I said to the assembled band that Wednesday evening was football practice night [and] asked Andy Taylor to experiment while I was gone and maybe have something when I returned at 11pm. ["Lost in You"] was the result."[3]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Daniel Kleinman and Jonathan Kaplan, and produced by Daniel Stewart and Beth Broday for Limelight Productions.[4] It received heavy rotation on MTV.[5]

Reception

Upon release, Billboard described the song as a "straight-ahead rock item", adding "[Stewart] sounds as good as ever on a strong song with equally powerful production."[6] Cash Box noted the song's "very nice chorus hook" and Stewart's "usual consistent performance, with a voice that was born to rock".[7] Music & Media considered the song an "excellent rocker" with "a boiling production".[8] Richard Lowe of Smash Hits described "Lost in You" as a "terrific rock record that sounds a teensy weensy bit U2-ish".[9]
