It was released on 31 March 2023, through Gingerbread Man and Asylum Records, as the second single from her second album, The Good Witch (2023).

[4] "Lost the Breakup" was included in the listing,[5] and in March, she began posting snippets of the song onto TikTok.

[17] Music reviewer Thomas Bleach felt that it had delivered a perfect balance of "intimate honest songwriting with big pop production".

[19] He billed it "her Taylor Swift pop moment" and felt that it stood alongside "Psycho" and "Body Better" as her best songs.
