. Talking about the song, Aplin said, "Losing Me is about what you wish you could hear when you're having a particularly hard time, while also being that voice to someone else who needs it. It's about remaining connected when there is so much in modern life that can give the illusion of oneness whilst making us feel more alone. I've been a huge fan of JP Cooper for years and I'm so happy he agreed to be on this song with me. I saw JP play an acoustic set at a festival three years ago I've wanted to work with him ever since."
