Lost Without U

"Lost Without U" is a song by American recording artist Robin Thicke. It was released in January 2007 as the second single from his second album, The Evolution of Robin Thicke (2006). People magazine voted the ballad as 2007 sexiest song of the year. It was also named the 10th best song of 2007 by Vibe magazine.

Writing and inspiration

"Lost Without U" was written after the release of Robin Thicke's first album and while he was on tour. It was at a time he was feeling insecure and wasn't having much commercial success with his music. Thicke said the following to MTV News about the inspiration for the song: "I was going through an insecure period and wanted my lady to tell me how fabulous and how sexy and how wonderful I am."

Music video

Thicke appears in the music video of the song alongside his now ex-wife, actress Paula Patton. Fearful that the video for this single would be the last one he would ever make, Thicke chose to cast his wife as the leading lady in the music video as a way to tell the truth and represent how the last few years of his life have been. However, with the success of "Lost Without U" Thicke went on to film a new video for the follow-up single, "Can U Believe".
