"Losing Grip" kicks off Let Go, the Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne's 2002 debut album, and it hits a lot harder than most of what follows: where much of the album goes for pop shine, this one leans into nu metal crunch. It became the album's fourth single in 2003.
Lavigne wrote it with Clif Magness, and it's about a relationship slipping out of her hands with a boyfriend she was never meant to be with. Magness produced and recorded it and plays bass, guitar and keyboard, Josh Freese drums, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed it. She played it at the 2003 Juno Awards, and it picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, though the award went to Pink's "Trouble".
