"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Meghan
Trainor (pictured) from her debut major-label studio album Title (2015),
featuring guest vocals from singer John Legend. Trainor wrote the song
with Justin Weaver and Caitlyn Smith, and produced it with Chris
Gelbuda. Epic Records released it as the album's fourth single on June
23, 2015. A soul love ballad, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is about
savoring moments spent with loved ones and not taking them for granted.
Critics praised Trainor's vocals and the song's composition, but some
thought its subdued style did not suit her. It reached number one in
Australia, New Zealand, and Poland, and number eight in the US. It was
certified 4× Platinum in the US and 5× Platinum in Australia and
Canada. The music video depicts Trainor singing on a rainy night while
people in diverse relationships interact with loved ones. Trainor
performed the song on television shows and her concert tours.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
This battle is not only for the territory, for this or another
part of Europe. The battle is not only for life, freedom and security of
Ukrainians or any other nation which Russia attempts to conquer. This
struggle will define in what world our children and grandchildren will
live, and then their children and grandchildren. It will define whether
it will be a democracy of Ukrainians and for Americans — for all.
