With her recent single, “Losin’ Myself,” Rockville, Maryland-native and pop rock artist Alexia Christian delivers a confessional, powerful gem with courage at the core. Her song explores themes of love lost, doubt and despair, and ultimately, reclaiming one’s self-worth.
“I wrote ‘Losin’ Myself’ during COVID when I felt trapped, and I couldn’t get out and experience life the way I wanted to,” she explains. For Christian, feelings of loneliness underscored by the pandemic were compounded by the aftermath of a relationship gone wrong.
“I don’t like who I’ve become/Trying to get by, feeling the vibe” she sings in the first verse. Christian’s classically trained voice fits beautifully within the layered track, supported by ambient pads, ethereal piano, electro pop percussion, and a touch of melancholy that’s unafraid to offer an unfiltered glimpse into her struggles and triumphs.
“Losin’ Myself” is a song audiences will not easily forget. Christian’s style is distinct and mesmerizing, drawing from her classic rock roots and reaching forward to offer a fresh pop sensibility and a mature, one-of-a-kind sound.
Fans of Dua Lipa, Avril Lavigne, and Michelle Branch will feel at home with Alexia Christian’s music. “Losin’ Myself” has been featured on WCHX 101.5 in Pennsylvania, where Christian currently resides, Eagles Nest Radio in Arizona, and Radio Net Rock in Brazil.

During her dark season, Christian found hope in reconnecting with her faith. “I found God in the depths of despair,” she sings in the song’s bridge. Listeners are immediately drawn to Christian’s renewed perspective, noting the depth and breadth it lends to her artistry. Arguably, “Losin’ Myself” showcases Christian with a sound that’s more compelling than ever.
“I’m sure a lot of young people can connect to this circumstance,” Christian notes. “Feeling discouraged, I had to get back on the right path and find God in a new way. I want my song to encourage listeners that God can bring you out of any challenging circumstance that you’re facing. All it takes is faith and work.”
Christian notes that “Losin’ Myself” offers a message that’s widely applicable to audiences from all backgrounds, regardless of age, relationship status, spirituality, or lack thereof. Most importantly, the song is about never settling for less than what you deserve, overcoming obstacles with grace, and reconnecting with your authentic self.
There’s an abundance of freedom in starting a new chapter in life, and rising talent Alexia Christian stands poised and ready to turn the page on her own terms.
