"Lost" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Gorilla Zoe, released October 28, 2008 as the lead single from his second studio album Don't Feed Da Animals. The song leaked in May 2007 entitled "Losin' My Mind", featuring a verse from fellow American rapper Lil Wayne. It is notable that, specifically with the version of "Lost" featuring Lil Wayne, both songs use the auto-tune effect.

Music video

The music video was directed by Zollo and premiered on the BET show The Deal. Miami-based rapper Rick Ross makes a cameo appearance. The music video is similar to the music video of "Somebody's Watching Me" the debut single by R&B artist Rockwell, released on the Motown label in 1984. The music video of both songs relate the subject's paranoid fears of being followed and watched, although the lyrics of "Lost" chronicle the emptiness and loneliness that hip-hop fame can bring. The video does not show the underground background singer named as "the mistress".

Remixes and freestyle

On September 14th 2008, American rapper Bow Wow released a freestyle to the song.[1]
