Lost in Paradise

"Lost in Paradise" is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their third self-titled studio album, Evanescence (2011). Wind-up Records released the song as the third single from the album on May 25, 2012. It was written by frontwoman Amy Lee and produced by Nick Raskulinecz. A snippet of the song premiered online on July 15, 2011. Musically, "Lost in Paradise" is a rock ballad that begins with piano, strings, and Lee's vocals before the band kicks in during the climax. Lyrically, it is inspired by the struggles in Lee's life during the hiatus of Evanescence. The song was compared with Björk's "Jóga" and the band's own song "My Immortal". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised Lee's vocals and its piano accompaniment, with some highlighting it as one of the album's best tracks. Following the digital sales of Evanescence, the song charted at number ninety nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and number nine on the UK Rock Chart. It also charted at numbers thirty one, eighty nine, and hundred and seventy four on the Swiss Singles Chart, Canadian Hot 100, and UK Singles Chart respectively. The band also added the song to the set list of their third worldwide tour Evanescence Tour (2011-12).
