‘Losing My Religion’ was the first single from R.E.M’s 1991 album Out Of Time. The song reached the no. 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and pushed the band into the mainstream. Out Of Time received seven Grammy Award nominations and won three, including Best Alternative Music Album.
The song is about romantic expression and unrequited love. The expression ‘losing my religion’ is used in the Southern United States and it means losing one’s temper or being at the end of one’s rope. Michael Stipe has compared the song’s theme of obsession and love to The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take’. Another link between the two bands is that in 1980 R.E.M were signed to I.R.S, a subsidiary of A&M Records, founded by Miles Copeland, The Police’s manager. Out Of Time sold nearly ten million copies worldwide. The band is accompanied by a string section from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
