Songfacts®:

  • Here, Kane Brown is urging his lover to loosen up and "lose it" at the party they're both going to. However when she starts "dancin', swayin' to the music" the way her body moves makes him totally lose it.
  • Brown wrote the song along with Nashville songwriters Chase McGill (Little Big Town's "When Someone Stops Loving You," Cole Swindell's "Break Up in the End") and Will Weatherly (Carrie Underwood's "End Up With You," Florida Georgia Line's "Dig Your Roots"). The same trio penned "Better Place" on Kane Brown's self-titled debut album. One or both of McGill and Weatherly also contributed to six other tracks on Experiment.
  • Released as the lead single from Experiment, Brown noted that the song includes some serious twang. "It's got a little fiddle that we didn't have on the debut album at all, or any of my music that I've ever released," he told ABC Radio. "Then we have, like, a Lynyrd Skynyrd guitar on there. To me, it's just a very fun song that has a bunch of different melodies."

    Brown added that every time he visits a country music club, he sees people two-stepping to lots of different kinds of music, so his intention for "Lose It" is that it's something people will two-step to."
  • This was Kane Brown's second #1 on the Country chart, following his collaboration with Lauren Alaina, "What Ifs." It unseated Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line's "Meant to Be" following that song's record run of 50 weeks at the tally's summit. Coincidentally, "What Ifs" replaced the previous record holder, Sam Hunt's 34-week #1 "Body Like a Back Road."
  • Kane Brown wrote the song with Will Weatherly and Chase McGill on the tour bus as he headed home to Nashville after a show in early 2018. He told The Boot the song is about getting away from everything.

    "I feel like everybody is always on their social media," he explained. "I can't say nothing, because that's how I got started; I'm always on social media. But it's, 'lose your phone,' 'lose the old-school radio station.'"

    "It's just you and your girl getting away and not worrying about any problems going on in the world today," Brown continued. "It's just, lose it and have fun together."
