"The Lovers Are Losing" is a song performed and composed by English rock band Keane, released on 20 October 2008[1] as the second single from their third album, Perfect Symmetry.

The music video for the song was released on 1 October, and features singer Tom Chaplin running through the wild and being shot at, with scenes of bombardments by jet aircraft.

Despite being released as the first physical release taken from Perfect Symmetry, "The Lovers Are Losing" underperformed in the UK Singles Chart and performed even worse than Keane's previous single "Spiralling" which peaked at #23 despite not being physically released.

This single was to peak at a disappointing #52, making it Keane's first single to fail to dent the UK Top 40.

It spent three weeks in the UK Top 100.
