"Lost!" is a song by the British rock band Coldplay. It was co-produced with Brian Eno and Markus Dravs for the band's fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. The song was released on 10 November 2008 as the third official single from the album to generally positive critical reviews. A live version was released via download following a performance of the band and Jay-Z at the 2009 Grammy Awards, spurring high digital sales and giving "Lost!" a new peak at number 40 in the United States.

There are several versions of the song, including a piano recording (known as "Lost?") and a remix featuring Jay-Z (known as "Lost+"), which appears on Prospekt's March (2008). The accompanying music video to the single features a live performance of the band in the United States. Coldplay also launched a contest through their website, with fans submitting self-made music videos. Complex included "Lost!" among the best rap-rock songs in history,[2] while The New York Times praised it as one of Eno's best productions.[3]
