Becky Hill was born on 14 February 1994. She began making music at the age of 14 and started performing in a band called Shaking Trees – receiving BBC Introducing support from Andrew Marston at BBC Hereford & Worcester who selected her band to perform at the Nozstock Festival of Performing Arts, as well as a live session for Adam Green and Josh Withey at BBC Radio Shropshire. Hill is a supporter of Walsall F.C. In April 2021, she came out as queer on her Twitter account, stating "I've definitely felt uncomfortable branding myself as straight, or anything else for that matter, but queer seems to be the most fitting identity for who I am". On 11 January 2022, Hill announced her engagement via social media to her long-term boyfriend, Charlie Gardner.
Hill has appeared in a number of live performances for YouTube, including a web series called The Rebelations. She auditioned for the first series of The Voice UK, and at the blind auditions she performed "Ordinary People". Judges Jessie J and will.i.am, the only coaches with an available space on their teams, turned around for her. She opted to join Jessie. In the battle rounds she competed against Indie and Pixie performing the song "Irreplaceable", she won the battle and progressed to the live shows. She got to the semi-final stage of the competition where she was eliminated.
Since appearing on The Voice UK, versions of David Guetta's "She Wolf" and "Not Giving In" by Rudimental have been published, as have covers of Paolo Nutini's "Last Request" and Alex Clare's "Too Close".

"Powerless" received a full single release on 23 February 2014. The song peaked at number 73 on the UK Singles Chart. Hill appeared on and co-wrote a vocal version of Oliver Heldens' "Gecko", renamed "Gecko (Overdrive)", alongside MNEK. The song topped the UK Singles Chart on 29 June 2014 thus making her the first The Voice UK contestant to achieve a number 1.
On 9 November 2014 she released a single, "Losing", which was produced by MNEK and intended to be the lead single from her solo album with then label Parlophone Records. The single debuted at number 56 on the UK Singles Chart. Hill co-wrote Australian recording artist Reigan Derry's debut single "All of the Pieces". In July 2015, French house producer Watermät released a vocal version of his track "Frequency" with Hill as joint lead artist. The track was renamed to "All My Love".
In early 2016, Hill announced that she was songwriting with CocknBullKid. In May 2016 she released her first proper single in two years, entitled "Back to My Love", featuring vocals from rapper Little Simz. It was said to be the lead single off of her debut album, but was later included in the Eko EP, released in August 2017. During the summer, she collaborated with a number of artists. Her first was with DJ and record producer MK on his single "Piece of Me". The second was with Matoma on his breakthrough single "False Alarm".

In May 2017, Hill signed a worldwide publishing deal with Sony/ATV and also guest presented an episode of CBBC's The Playlist. Following from this, Hill released a fourth single "Unpredictable" from the Eko EP, along with the EP itself in August 2017 as the final release from her own independent label Eko Music Limited. "Unpredictable" was co-written by Karen Poole and MNEK, who also produced the track.
Hill announced in August 2017 that she had signed a worldwide record deal with Polydor Records and expected to release her debut album in 2019. Upon signing her record deal, manager Alex Martin was quoted saying "Becky is at an incredibly exciting stage in her career. The public have only seen a small amount of Becky as a solo artist and what she can do and we were looking for the right partner to work with to take that further".
In 2018, she released the single "Sunrise in the East", which was treated as the lead cut from her supposedly rejuvenated debut project. Not long after, she appeared on songs including "Back & Forth", alongside Marc Kinchen and Jonas Blue. This continued in the following year with "I Could Get Used to This", with Weiss, and finally "Wish You Well", with Sigala, which became her first top 10 hit in the UK Charts since "Gecko (Overdrive)".

Losing
Becky Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is dancing on their own
Trying hard to get it right
Tired of being alone
Arms spread open wide
Face up to the sky
There's nobody by your side
But still you're asking why
Is there someone out there to keep you breathing
Tryna find an answer to somehow stop this feeling
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
Is there someone out there who really loves you?
In the dark, near or far, found a heart who wants you
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
I wonder how you sleep at night
Are all your roses thorn?
Is everything on black & white
Since I've been gone?
'Cause I don't know 'bout you now
And I is gone, and ask you if, if your life turns upside down
Whether you still reminisce?
But you know I wish you well, in everything you do
But it's me who left behind, and I have feelings too
Anyway
Is there someone out there to keep you breathing
Tryna find an answer to somehow stop this feeling
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
Is there someone out there who really loves you?
In the dark, near or far, found a heart who wants you
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
Is there someone out there to keep you breathing,
Tryna find an answer to somehow stop this feeling
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
Is there someone out there really loves you?
In the dark, near or far, found a heart who wants you
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
I'm through with losing
I'm through with losing
I'm through with losing
The song "Losing" by Becky Hill is a powerful ballad that explores themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and the search for love and connection. The opening lines of the song suggest that there is someone in the world who is dancing alone, trying hard to get it right, but feeling tired of being alone. The person is standing with their arms spread open and face up to the sky, but there is nobody by their side. They are left wondering why they are alone and whether there is someone out there who can keep them breathing.
The chorus repeats the central question of the song, asking whether there is someone out there who really loves you and whether you can hold on to that love in the face of adversity. The lyrics suggest that the singer is through with losing and wants to find someone to love and to be loved by in return. At the same time, there is a sense of resignation and sadness in the song, as the singer wonders how their former love is coping without them and whether they still reminisce about their time together.
The bridge of the song introduces a note of ambiguity, with the singer expressing conflicting emotions of both wishing their former partner well in everything they do but also feeling hurt that they were the one who was left behind. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the theme of holding on to love and the desire to find someone who truly loves and wants you.
Overall, "Losing" is a poignant song that captures the complexities of love and heartbreak in a way that is both relatable and emotionally affecting.
Line by Line Meaning
Someone in the world tonight
There is someone out there who is alone and needs someone to love.
Is there someone out there to keep you breathing
Is there someone out there who cares enough to help you through the tough times.
Tryna find an answer to somehow stop this feeling
Looking for a way to stop feeling alone and lost.
Can you hold on? I'm through with losing
Are you willing to fight for love and not give up? I am done with losing.
In the dark, near or far, found a heart who wants you
There is someone out there who wants to love you, no matter the circumstances.
I wonder how you sleep at night
I can't help but think of you and how you're doing without me.
Are all your roses thorn?
Is everything in your life painful and difficult?
Is everything on black & white
Has everything lost its color and vibrancy since we've been apart?
'Cause I don't know 'bout you now
I don't know what's happening in your life right now.
And I is gone, and ask you if, if your life turns upside down
I may not be in your life anymore, but if things get tough for you, will you remember me?
Whether you still reminisce?
Do you still think about our time together?
But you know I wish you well, in everything you do
Even though we aren't together anymore, I still want the best for you.
But it's me who left behind, and I have feelings too
I left you behind, but I still have emotions and feelings about our relationship.
Anyway
Regardless of what happened, life goes on.
I'm through with losing
I am done with feeling alone and unloved.
