"I've Been Losing You" is a song by Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha, released as the lead single from their second studio album, Scoundrel Days (1986). It reached number one in Denmark and Norway, and number eight in the United Kingdom. It achieved worldwide sales of over 1.1 million copies.
The music video was shot in a wide arena in Los Angeles.
"This Alone Is Love" was the B-side, in an earlier, rawer form than the one that was re-recorded for Stay on These Roads. Both versions can be easily differentiated by their duration and the use of certain instruments. The earlier version is notable for its organ solo that sets in at 3:36 until the end of the song. The Stay on These Roads version is notable for its guitar solo. The chorus ("It will make my last breath pass out at dawn / It will make my body dissolve out in the blue") is derived from the song "May the Last Danse Be Mine" by Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band, Bridges.
