"I've Been Losing You" led the charge for Scoundrel Days, the second a-ha album, in 1986, and it's Paul Waaktaar-Savoy's song through and through: he wrote the words and the music and produced it with Mags. Leif K. Johansen plays bass and Mike Sturgis drums, Gerry Kitchingham engineered, and Alan Tarney and John Hudson mixed.
The Norwegian synth-pop band took it to number one in Norway and Denmark and to number eight in Britain, and it sold more than 1.1 million copies around the world. The video was filmed in a wide-open arena in Los Angeles, and the flip side carried an earlier, rougher take on "This Alone Is Love", a song they would record again for Stay on These Roads.
