12. “You Lost Me”

Sure Bionic is known for its sexualized electro-pop grooves, but the highlight is in the second half of the album. It is no secret that Christina Aguilera is a master when it comes to ballads (she isn’t called “The Voice Of Our Generation” for no reason), and the perfectly imperfect “You Lost Me” displays just that. Written by the singer, Samuel Dixon and Sia, it is a cold and smoky down-tempo ballad that finds Xtina’s somber emotions being pulled by the simple but effective piano-and-strings production.

“You Lost Me” is Christina’s most vulnerable moment on Bionic, which makes it stand out among with sticky synths and robotic nature of the album’s previous tunes. “I feel like our world’s been infected/ And somehow you left me neglected/ We’ve found our lives been changed/ Babe, you lost me,” she belts alongside the soaring orchestra-inspired production. At one point, you can almost hear Christina wiping away her tears. It is a truly beautiful moment where fans who may be going through a similar situation in their relationship can relate to the pain.

Just take a look at Christina’s 2010 Late Show With David Letterman performance to see just why this is one of the singer’s most stunning tunes in her extensive discography.
