"Lost and Running" was the first single from Powderfinger's sixth album, Dream Days at the Hotel Existence, officially out on 12 May 2007 after Triple J broke it on the radio that April. It was one of the first songs the band wrote during their two-year hiatus and the first they cut at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, with Rob Schnapf producing and mixing alongside engineer Doug Boehm.
Bernard Fanning called it sunnier than most of the band's catalog, up, hopeful and breezy, and it moves with a sly hitch: a bar of four, a bar of two, then two more of four, round and round, so the groove never lands quite where you expect. Their 22nd single, it climbed to No. 5 in Australia, second only to "My Happiness" among their hits.
