"The Loser Gets to Win" is a song by English singer Kiki Dee, released on 14 October 1983 by EMI as a non-album single.

Dee had hoped the single's success would allow her to embark on a tour and record a new studio album which would contain more of her own songwriting than previous efforts.

"[5] Upon its release, Jim Whiteford of the Kilmarnock Standard described "The Loser Gets to Win" as "pretty catchy material" on which Dee "brings her pop-rock polish".

[6] Tony Jasper of Music Week praised it as "an infectious number with a good chorus, which Dee delivers with the acquired pop skill of years".

[7] Debbi Voller of Number One noted Dee's "rich voice" and John's appearance as co-producer, but felt "good talent gets wasted here on a lousy song" and added that "the result is something that'll go straight through you".
