Listen to this when
Lost One
Not every breakup song is about them. Some are about owning what we did. 🥀
Who it's for
Most breakup songs cast the listener as the one wronged; this one gives a voice to the person who knows they drove love away, a perspective that is common but rarely validated, which reduces isolation around guilt.
Feelings it meets
What it is
"Lost One" is a song by Jazmine Sullivan, co-written and co-produced with Dave Watson, released in August 2020 as the lead single from her album Heaux Tales. It is a sparse, guitar-led ballad about the emotional aftermath of a breakup, in which the narrator dwells on an unhealed wound and increasingly blames herself.
