"Lost in Love" is a 1980 song (see 1980 in music) recorded by the Australian group Air Supply. The song was written by group member Graham Russell and included on their Life Support (album). A longer version of the song was originally featured on their 1979 album Life Support, where it went to number one on the Australian charts.

Air Supply had enjoyed some popularity in their native country during the mid to late 1970s, but the group was largely unknown outside Australia. Russell traveled to England in 1979, and while there, discovered that the group's Australian record label Big Time Records had sold "Lost in Love" to Arista Records in the United States for distribution. Soon thereafter, their song became a hit on the music charts in the U.S. The song spent four weeks at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1980 and topped the Billboard adult contemporary chart for six weeks that same year.

This song was featured in later broadcasts and the DVD release of an episode of Family Guy, "Emission Impossible", as well as the Australian film Hotel de Love.

Covers

A country music version of "Lost in Love" was recorded later in 1980 by singers Dickey Lee and Kathy Burdick. This version peaked at number 30 on the Billboard country music chart. In 1980, Demis Roussos included it as a duet with Florence Warner on his album Man of the World. In 1998, it was covered by Kiwi pop group, Deep Obsession, and became a number-one hit in New Zealand.
