"Gained the World" is the second single released from Morcheeba's sixth studio album Dive Deep. It was digitally released on 28 April 2008,[1] while it was physically released in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2008.[2] The song features "bittersweet" vocals of French singer Manda Zamolo.
The album producer Paul Godfrey posted his opinion about song on Morcheeba's official website, writing:
It's about succeeding in every way and still feeling like there is something missing. When Manda put her voice to it, it sounded really bittersweet.[3]
Critical reception
IndieLondon noted that "Gained the World" is "a melody-laden beauty that introduces the listener to the soothing tones of French vocalist Manda for the first time."[4]
Music video
The animated music video was directed by Joel Trussell, an American artist who also made the video for "Enjoy the Ride".
