history
The song was produced by Full Force. Full Force member Lucien "Bowlegged Lou" George Jr. describes Lost in Emotion as a combination of the two songs Two Lovers and You Beat Me to the Punch by Mary Wells and wanted to make the song a homage to them: George said in an interview: "We didn't steal the riffs: all we did was get the flavoring ... We [used] a xylophone and some bells because back in the Motown days they always used those simple instruments." (German: "Wir didn't help us with the songs, but wanted to get the taste right ... We used simple instruments like xylophone and some bells like in the old Motown days. ").
The freestyle song was released on July 31, 1987.
