New Música: Christina Aguilera Premieres 'You Lost Me'

By Simone Hilliard

Christina Aguilera premiered her latest single "You Lost Me" today (July 22) to glowing reviews. This emotionally powerful ballad — the second single off her Bionic LP — shows the return of the diva to her "Beautiful" days.

Dressed casually in black with painted red lips and new strawberry-blonde hair, the song opens with:

"I am done/ Smoking gun/ We've lost it all/ The love is gone/ She has won/ Now its no fun/ We've lost it all/ The love is gone."

The break-up ballad continues with black mascara streaming down Xtina's face as she cries in the desert. The video closes with the singer finding the "light," clad in white, seemingly past her misery:

"Now I know you're sorry/ And we were sweet/ Oh, but you chose lust when you deceived me/ And you'll regret it, but it's too late/ How can I ever trust you again?

I feel like our world's been infected/ And somehow you left me neglected/ We've found our lives been changed/ Oh babe, you lost me."

Christina shared these details with Entertainment Tonight on the set of her video:

“What I wanted was a very raw and real feeling. Your relationship with this person is sort of being destroyed right before your eyes.. This video will take you from a very dark place ... [but] pretty soon you'll see me build my strength."

Well, she certainly achieved that raw feeling. Hopefully this strong ballad and stellar video will help Aguilera's Bionic album pick up in sales.

The LP came in 3rd on the Billboard 200 when it debuted in June and sold a disappointing 111,000 in its first week out, her lowest selling album. Her summer tour has also been canceled due to poor album sales, though inadequate rehearsal time between the album's release and tour dates is the "official" reason.  

Either way, we love this new/old Christina!
