Moore has recorded several hit records, including "Love's Taken Over", "Alright", "I'm What You Need", "Old School Lovin'", and "Free" (a cover of a Deniece Williams' original song that showcases her effortless flip into whistle register by jumping an octave higher than the song's original top note). Moore was also featured on the soundtrack of the 1995 film Waiting To Exhale with the song "Wey U", which also shows off her ability to reach the whistle register. Once married to Kadeem Hardison, she then married to Kenny Lattimore, with whom she is now divorced. The two are currently a duet act on Jive Records, where they remade Minnie Riperton and Peabo Bryson's 70's soul hit "Here We Go" on their album, Things That Lovers Do.

In 2002, she won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Group, Band or Duo for "Contagious" featuring The Isley Brothers. She also appeared on the hit UPN show Girlfriends, singing Minnie Riperton's Lovin' You. In 2002, Moore sang on Kenny G's single "One More Time," which registered on the Smooth Jazz and Adult Contemporary singles charts.

In 2006 Asian singer Hyori remade Moore's single "Straight Up", it became a top ten hit in Korea. Additionally, in 2006 it was confirmed by Peak Records executive and founder that Chante Moore has signed a record deal with the independent label. Moore released her fifth solo album Love the Woman on June 17, 2008. The album's lead single "Ain't Supposed to Be This Way" impacted radio on May 12, 2008.

Additionally, she starred with James Pickens, Jr. (of Grey's Anatomy), Vickie Winans, Loretta Devine, Reginald VelJohnson, Rocky Carroll and Kenny Lattimore in a live stage production of Otis Sallid's Gospel! Gospel! Gospel at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in May 2009.

In July 2011, it was announced that she would be the TV host for an upcoming women's fitness reality series sponsored by SportyGirl Fitness. The following year, Moore performed at the 2012 BET Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in a tribute to the late singer Donna Summer.

On January 1, 2013, Moore inked a new record deal with Shanachie Entertainment. She released her sixth studio solo album "Moore is More" on July 30, 2013 which was preceded by the single "Talking In My Sleep."

Am I Losing You
Chanté Moore Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got my heart in your hand,
I gave it to you I know, I understand,
I'm strong you know, that's how I am,
tell me the truth, I'll take it like a man.
Don't want you to leave me, and I don't wanna leave you,
baby don't you be cruel, with your icy cool, cool, cool.

Each day that passes, I smile to cover the pain,

when I remove my disguises, I came back to the same ole' thing,
can't shake this feelin', something's going on inside of you,
I don't know what to do.

Baby look me in my eyes, no need to tell me lies,
am I losing you ?
I feel there's something I can't see, is it inside of me,
or am I losing you ?

I know you need your time alone,
I need my time to call my own,
I love the precious times we shared,
when I need you most, sometimes you're not there.
Though absence makes the heart grow fonder,
out of sight could be out of mind,
my love should never make you wander,
you never find another love like mine.

Each day that passes, I cry because I'm in pain,
when I remove my disguises, I came back to the same ole' thing,
can't shake this feelin', baby am I playing the fool,
I don't know what to do.

Baby look me in my eyes, no need to tell me lies,
am I losing you ?
I feel there's something I can't see, is it inside of me,
or am I losing you ?

Tell me what to do,
just to get through to you,
baby I can take the truth,
am I losing you ?
Baby you can say it anything is alright with me,
you know I'll always be,
here for you.

Baby look me in my eyes, no need to tell me lies,
am I losing you ?
I feel there's something I can't see, is it inside of me,
or am I losing you ?

Tell me what to do (tell me what to do),
just to get through to you (just to get through to you),
baby I can take the truth,
am I losing you ?
Baby you can say it anything is alright with me,
you know I'll always be,
here for you.
Baby you can say it anything is alright with me,

you know I'll always be,
here for you.

The song opens with the line, "You've got my heart in your hand," which sets the tone for the rest of the track as Moore sings about the way that she's given everything to her partner and is now afraid of losing him. She tries to stay strong, assuring him that she can handle whatever truth he has to tell her, but beneath the surface, she's struggling with her own feelings of inadequacy.

Overall, "Am I Losing You" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that captures the complexities of modern relationships.
