## Background

He told OfficialCharts.com, "I feel very at home with the alt-rock sound of this song. It's nice to be able to release a song in that world, I love guitar music and I like the emo thing. When I made *It'll All Make Sense in the End*, I was worried I'd missed the resurgence of that music, but it's coming to the boil and I might just catch the wave. I hope everyone who likes that genre will hear the authenticity in what I'm doing." He added that he knew Franceschi since *The X Factor*, and they "shared the same security guard at the time", so they planned to collaborate someday. When he reached, this particular record was created to have "a double vocal" part, where he instantly thought of Franceschi .

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: James Arthur]

I've seen it in the motion pictures, it's on the radio

I just never believed it, nah, I just never believed it

They tell you someone comes around to fix you, righting all your wrongs

But I just never believed it, nah, 'cause I never received it

[Pre-Chorus: James Arthur]

Maybe I was a pessimist, was a fool

Nothing made me feel like you do

What I'd do just to keep you here in my arms

[Chorus: James Arthur, James Arthur & Josh Franceschi]

I'll do whatever it takes

I put my hands in the flames

I'm not gonna lose you tonight

I'd rather lose my mind

You said forever and more

So sick of letting you go

I'm not gonna lose you tonight

I'd rather lose my mind, mind, my mind tonight

I'd rather lose my mind

[Verse 2: James Arthur]

I know you're tired of promises I always seem to break

You just have to believe me, yeah

I know I've never been easy, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: James Arthur]

I know I can get narcissistic and cruel

And I put myself before you

What I'd do to fix everything I've broken

[Chorus: James Arthur, James Arthur & Josh Franceschi]

I'll do whatever it takes

I put my hands in the flames

I'm not gonna lose you tonight

I'd rather lose my mind

You said forever and more

So sick of letting you go

I'm not gonna lose you tonight

I'd rather lose my mind, mind, my mind tonight

I'd rather lose my mind

[Outro: Josh Franceschi, James Arthur, James Arthur & Josh Franceschi]

If it meant that I wasn't by your side till the day I die

I'd rather lose my mind

If it meant that I wasn't by your side till the day I die (Mind, mind, my mind)

I'd rather lose my mind

If it meant that I wasn't by your side till the day I die (Mind, my mind, mind)

I'd rather lose my mind

[Outro: James Arthur & Josh Franceschi]

If it meant that I wasn't by your side till the day I die

I'd rather lose my mind
