Eminem wrote this hit from 8 Mile, his quasi-autobiographical film, in a portable studio on the set. "He was on a break from shooting," said engineer Steven King, "and he laid down all three verses in one take." "Lose" had the fullest sound of Em's career: guitars and woodwinds rising in a tide of self-assurance. He later said he could have only made this while filming.
