"Lost in This Moment" is a single by country music duo Big & Rich. It is the first single from their third studio album, Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace. The single has become the duo's fastest-climbing single to date, as well as their highest-peaking, reaching #1 on the US country chart in July 2007.

This song is sung from the perspective of a groom at his wedding. In the first verse, the bride walks down the aisle, where the groom and the preacher await. In the second verse, the couple exchange their vows, and the preacher pronounces the couple man and wife.

The video features Big & Rich, in tuxedos, singing the song, backed by their road band. On a projection screen behind them, various clips from various time periods of couples at their weddings are shown.

In an interview with Blair Garner on the syndicated radio show After MidNite, cowriter Keith Anderson stated that he and John Rich wrote the song several years before it was recorded; he also mentioned that he would include a version of the song on his upcoming album set to be released in summer 2008.

A slightly-remixed version of the song also began receiving airplay on adult contemporary radio in July 2007 and debuted at #24 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart on August 10, 2007.

On August 30, 2007, the single garnered two CMA Awards nominations, for Single of the Year (for the duo) and Song of the Year (for Rich, Anderson, and Rodney Clawson).
