"Nothin' to Lose" is a song written by Marcel and Kevin Savigar, and recorded by American country music artist Josh Gracin. It was released in August 2004 as the second single from his self-titled CD. The song also became Josh's first number one hit on Billboard's Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in 2005. It also peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100, his only Top 40 hit on that chart.

The song was written by Marcel Chagnon and Kevin Savigar and was included as a track in Marcel's first album. It was then given to Gracin to record when his manager searched for songs for Gracin's debut album.[1] The song is set at a fast pace, with a string of rapidly-delivered lyrics, through which the narrator explains that he has "nothin' to lose" now that he has found a lover.
Music video
The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and premiered in late 2004.
