"Lost Cause" is the fifth song from Beck's fifth major-label studio album, Sea Change. It was also released as a promo single only, in the UK, Germany, and Japan.

It reached number 36 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart on March 22, 2003.

MTV.com described "Lost Cause" as "sparse and melancholy, driven by a folksy guitar passage and soft, sedated vocals and embellished with soft brush drumming."[1]
