"To Lose My Life" shares its name with White Lies' debut album and came out as a single on Fiction on 12 January 2009, a week before the London band's record hit the shops. Charles Cave, Jack Lawrence-Brown and Harry McVeigh wrote it, and it was cut during the album sessions that ran from May to September 2008. Andreas Nilsson, who had made the clip for their previous single "Death", directed the video.
The song went on to a busy second life on screen: the soundtrack of the video game DiRT 2, the end scene of an episode of 90210 in May 2010, an episode of the first season of The Vampire Diaries plus a promo for the show, and an episode of The Hills.
