"Losing My Religion" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M., released in 1991 as the lead single from their seventh album, Out of Time. Written by the band's lead vocalist Michael Stipe, the song stands out for its mandolin-driven melody, a departure from the typical rock instrumentation of the time. Despite its unconventional sound, "Losing My Religion" became R.E.M.'s highest-charting hit in the United States, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song's lyrics, which touch on themes of doubt, confusion, and unrequited love, have been interpreted in various ways, with the title referring to a Southern expression meaning to lose one's temper or composure. The accompanying music video, directed by Tarsem Singh, further enhanced the song's impact with its surreal, religious imagery.

"Losing My Religion" is credited with helping to bring alternative rock into the mainstream, and it remains one of R.E.M.'s most iconic and enduring songs. Its influence on 90s music and its continued popularity today attest to its lasting significance in the rock genre.
