In a Spotify track-by-track commentary, Meghan Trainor revealed what sparked her to write "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," which she co-wrote with Justin Weaver and Caitlyn Smith. The singer-songwriter opened up about an eye-opening experience she had that made her see the world differently, as reported by Songfacts. "It's about when you have those nightmares where your loved one passes away, and you wake up sweating and crying. You check on them, and they're still there, and you realize that you're not promised tomorrow, so you're going to love them like you're losing them," she explained.
The last three lines of the first verse boldly warn us that there are no guarantees in life, and that you could lose someone you love before you know it: "I woke up in tears, with you by my side / A breath of relief, and I realized / No, we're not promised tomorrow." When Trainor sings the phrase "not promised tomorrow," she demands you take note of her warning. The theme of missed opportunities and regret runs throughout the hit track.
