"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.

Giacomo Puccini (22 December 1858 – 29 November 1924) was an Italian composer known primarily for his operas. Regarded as the greatest and most successful proponent of Italian opera after Giuseppe Verdi, he was descended from a long line of composers, stemming from the late-Baroque era. Though his early work was firmly rooted in traditional late-19th-century Romantic Italian opera he later developed his work in the realistic verismo style, of which he became one of the leading exponents.
