Background[edit]
Band member Jay McGuiness said in a press release that 'Lose My Mind' is 'a pop tune about someone playing mind games with you, as you try and fail, to blot it all out.'[1] It was written by Nina Woodford, Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk, produced by Rami and Falk and recorded at Kinglet Studios and A-Side Studios, in Stockholm, Sweden. Additional production was done by British house producers The Wideboys.[2] Originally scheduled for release in January 2011, the single was brought forward to December 2010 due to a performance on The X Factor in November 2010.[3]
Music video[edit]
The music video for 'Lose My Mind' was directed by Nigel Dick and filmed in Coney Island and it was performed at Channel 4 on 17 January 2011.[1] A series of fifteen-second teasers for the music video were released before the full video's premiere,[4] which was on 28 November 2010 on Channel 4.[5] The video shows the band members heading to Coney Island in the rain. When they arrive they it is revealed they work on different rides on the Island. The video is dispersed with them singing at their respective rides, scenes where they mess about at Coney Island, with their song playing over them, and them singing directly to the camera as a group.[4]
Live performances[edit]
The Wanted performed 'Lose My Mind' live on the seventh series of The X Factor on 28 November 2010. They limited the number of female dancers on stage with them to avoid making their female fans jealous, but had a large production with a fairground theme, which McGuiness said was to 'distract from the fact we can't dance very well'.[6] They also performed the song on Sam & Mark's TMi Friday, and Alan Carr: Chatty Man.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
Popjustice made 'Lose My Mind' their 'song of the day' on 12 November 2010.[8] A writer for website Female First called the song 'an anthemic rock ballad that shows off [the members'] characteristically mature, edgy vocals and breaks them out of the traditional boyband mould.' [9] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five and praised the song for its 'brilliantly melodramatic lyrics' and 'punchy' chorus, while complimenting Max George's heavily auto-tuned vocals.[10] Following the performance of 'Lose My Mind' on The X Factor, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 29[11] and the Scottish Singles Chart at number 24 on 5 December 2010,[12] three weeks before its official single release. It left the UK Singles Chart on the week of 23 January 2011 after spending seven weeks in the chart.

Background and release[edit]
After forming and being signed to Geffen Records in 2010 through mass auditioning, the Wanted recorded 'All Time Low'.[2] It was one of six songs recorded by the band at the time for their debut album due for release in late 2010.[3][4] The track was co-written by its producer Steve Mac in collaboration with Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett. It was mixed by Dann Pursey and Ren Swan. Lyrically, 'All Time Low' is written in reference to rising from the difficulty of having someone special constantly on your mind. Speaking to Orange UK, Max George interpreted what the song was about: 'It's basically about a girl you can't get out of your mind - whatever you do, you just can't - and it describes how to get up from this all time low.'[5] Orange UK described 'All Time Low' as having a 'lovesick' theme to it.[6] The lines 'Waiting at the station/I'm late for work, a vital presentation' were said to take reference to Microsoft PowerPoint by music website Popjustice,[7] while the line 'I'm in pieces, seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know' was highlighted by Fraser McAlpine of the BBC as being the most memorable in the song in addition to having a devilish internal rhyme.[8] 'All Time Low' acts as the Wanted's debut single and first single from their debut album.
The single was first released on digital download format in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 25 July 2010.[9] The following day, 'All Time Low' was released on CD single format in both countries on 26 July 2010.[10] In August 2010, they performed the song in Hannover, Germany at the Dome 55.[11] On 11 September 2010, they performed the song at the Freedom Festival in Hull alongside 'Heart Vacancy' and 'Lose My Mind'.[12] In the United States, the single was released on 1 July 2011, however, it did not achieve any form of commercial success in the country.
Critical reception[edit]
'All Time Low' received critical praise from Ryan Love of Digital Spy who gave the song a four out of five star rating. The song was performed on Channel 4 on 15 August 2010. Love described the song as 'a bit of a surprise' and gave praise to its opening 'quite simply immense' strings. Love went on to call the song a 'fresh 'n' fizzy indie-tinged pop gem'.[13] 'All Time Low' received its second four out of five star rating after a review by Fraser McAlpine from the BBC. McAlpine reviewed the track mentioning: 'Now, for a transparent piece of silly old pop music, this has class cooties. The telltale signs are there in the string riff, and the mature, subtle way they approach the singing, and the restraint with which they have applied the autotune.' He went on to say that the song was good despite sampling a melody from Coldplay's 'The Scientist' (2002). McAlpine added that the song boasts a memorable line with a devilish internal rhyme: 'I'm in pieces, it seems like peace is the only thing I'll never know'.[8]
Chart performance[edit]
'All Time Low' debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, with first-week sales of 84,174 copies.[14] In Ireland, the song peaked at number thirteen on the Irish Singles Chart.[15]
