After the release of their fourth album Celebrity, the members of 'N Sync decided to take some time to pursue their own interests. After recording the single "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" for the soundtrack of the Drumline motion picture, released in December, 2002, Chasez decided to record a solo album.
His debut solo album, Schizophrenic, was released on February 24, 2004.
Chasez appears on Basement Jaxx's album Kish Kash (2003) as vocalist for the song "Plug it In," produced by the Jaxx. They returned the favor by producing the track "Shake It" for Schizophrenic. Chasez also collaborated with well-known DJ/composer BT on BT's 2003 album Emotional Technology, where he provided backup vocals on the track "Somnambulist" and "The Force of Gravity". It was his second time working with Brian "BT" Transeau, as he produced the 'N Sync hit "Pop".
Chasez contributes backing vocals on two songs he co-wrote with Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and Jonatha Brooke on Brooke's 2007 album Careful What You Wish For.
Chasez is currently in the studio finishing his second album, Kate, which is scheduled to be released in 2008, with producers such as Dallas Austin, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Billy Steinberg appearing on the album. Chasez has described his new sound as IPM (Intelligent Pop Music). Tracks that will appear on Chasez's second album are rumored to include: "You Ruined Me," "Until Yesterday", "God Bless America", and "Better With You". The latter three tracks were co-written and produced with Justin Timberlake. Other tracks include "Fire", produced by Timbaland; "Fuck with My Mind" produced by Dallas Austin; and Billy Steinberg on "I'm Not Sleeping Alone."
Presently Chasez can be found as one of three hosts on MTV's hit reality series, "America's Best Dance Crew" airing Thursday nights at 10PM.
Lose Myself
JC Chasez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She loves Daffodils, and
She keeps 'em on her window sill
When the wind blows her smell fills the room
She dreams in color
But does she know that I love her?
And I'm losing my head
And I can't get no sleep
(No sleep)
But if I reached out
(Reached out)
Would you reach out for me, yeah
Knocked unconscious, walking on water
Cause I'm thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
And don't you know that love's intoxicating and I need the abuse
(Need the abuse)
Because I'm endlessly falling
You're my destiny calling what you're making me do
(Destiny calling what you're making me do)
It's all because I lose myself in you
All because I lose myself in you
I don't want to be invisible
(Invisible)
I just want to be compatible
Longing for something that can only be filled by you, yeah
Cause I'm fighting with my confidence
(Confidence)
Build up my courage, give myself a chance
Because the only thing I think about is you
Do you know that I'm here?
Do I even exist?
I'd dance on velvet skies
For just the thought of one kiss, yeah
Knocked unconscious, walking on water
Cause I'm thinking of you
(Thinking of you, thinking of you)
And don't you know that love's intoxicating and I need the abuse
(Need the abuse)
Because I'm endlessly falling
You're my destiny calling what you're making me do
(Destiny calling what you're making me do)
It's all because I lose myself in you
All because I lose myself in you
I see the beauty in your strength, baby
And you fight to keep it in you, yea
But I break down your walls
(Break down your walls)
With my army of love
(Army of love)
Take a journey through my heart
It's a test of fate
(Test of fate)
As we hold each other close our spirits gravitate
(Gravitate)
Let's drift into forever
As our boundaries melt away
Thinking of you, thinking of you, thinking of you
Oh...
I found myself intoxicated by this drug
Sent to my knees cause I'm addicted to your love
All because I lose myself in you
All because I lose myself in you
All because I lose, I lose myself in you
All because I lose myself in you
If you share with me
Then I'll find you
And I'll meet you there,
Down in nowhere
If you share with me
Then I'll find you
And I'll meet you there,
Down in nowhere
Baby my life is yours
Just open up the door
I can't believe I found you, yeah-yeah
'Cause if you share with me
Then I'll find you
And I'll meet you there,
Down in nowhere
Down in nowhere
Yeah-yeah, oh
Lose myself, yeah
Yeah...
Oh...
In JC Chasez's song Lose Myself, he describes the feeling of being in love and how it's intoxicating. The song opens with the line, "She loves daffodils, and she keeps 'em on her window sill; when the wind blows her smell fills the room", which showcases the image of the girl he's in love with. In the next line, he asks if she knows that he loves her, indicating his uncertainty about her feelings towards him. He likens this feeling of uncertainty to an "abyss of insecure blue" in which he is swimming.
The chorus talks about his obsession with this girl. He is losing his head and can't get any sleep because he keeps thinking about her. However, he wonders if she would reach out to him if he reached out to her. The next verse, he talks about how he doesn't want to be invisible to her, but wants to be compatible with her. He's palpably fighting with his confidence and is trying to build up the courage to tell her how he feels.
The bridge of the song describes the beauty he sees in the girl's strength and how she fights to keep it within her but he breaks down her walls with his army of love. He invites her to take a journey through his heart as their boundaries melt away. The song ends with the repeated line "If you share with me then I'll find you and I'll meet you there, down in nowhere."
Overall, JC Chasez's Lose Myself is a song about the vulnerable state someone could be in while being in love for the first time. It's relatable and emotional, and the lyrics coupled with the melody make it an excellent song to listen to.
