The track examines weed dependency, which La Roux says she came to understand as a form of self-medication after an auADHD diagnosis. Its central conflict is the pull between wanting to escape and wanting to break a cycle of dependence.<\/p>\n<p>Musically, \u201cLose Myself\u201d draws on the high-drama sound of mid-1990s pop, setting its heavier subject matter against a direct, melodic chorus. \u201c\u2018Lose Myself\u2019 is me battling between the angel and the devil on my shoulder,\u201d she said. \u201cThe verses are me struggling to kick my addiction and show up for myself and the choruses are like me wanting to give up on the whole thing and just get lost.\u201d She added that the song is ultimately about finding enough self-respect to move beyond that cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The single follows \u201cBabyline\u201d and \u201cCabin Fever,\u201d two earlier previews of Old Flames. \u201cBabyline\u201d centers on finding a way back to yourself after a period of hiding, while \u201cCabin Fever\u201d takes its inspiration from isolation, La Roux\u2019s jeep and summertime rain. Together, the three songs trace different points in the album\u2019s wider story, with \u201cLose Myself\u201d positioned between the isolation of \u201cCabin Fever\u201d and the lighter outlook of \u201cBabyline.\u201d La Roux composed, wrote, produced and arranged Old Flames, which addresses the end of a 17-year relationship, forbidden love, addiction, sexuality and identity. She has described the record as a way of processing past behavior and \u201csaying goodbye to it.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The new material arrives after La Roux opened for Hilary Duff on a U.S. run that included the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laroux.lnk.to\/losemyself?utm_campaign=products&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=udiscovermusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><b>Listen to La Roux\u2019s \u201cLose Myself\u201d here.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La Roux has shared \u201cLose Myself,\u201d the latest single from her fourth album, Old Flames, which is due&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,117,47519,19,17,269385,269386,337,269387,4513],"class_list":["post-637471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-homepage-featured","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-la-roux","tag-lose-myself","tag-music","tag-old-flames","tag-pop"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117095769446551091","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
