Composition
"Too Lost in You" is a downtempo pop and R&B ballad, backed by an orchestral music arrangement that consists of a piano and strings. A writer from Music Week noted that Dougan's production of the song provides it with a "dramatic, string-soaked feel". According to the digital sheet music published by EMI Music Publishing, the song was composed in the key of C sharp minor using common time signature, at a tempo of 98 beats per minute. The Sugababes' vocal range in the song spans two octaves, from the lower note of E3 to the higher note of C#5. Like many of Warren's compositions, the lyrics follow the verse-chorus form; the song also includes a middle eight performed by Range. "Too Lost in You" is emotive and melodic, and presents the group's dark harmonies throughout. According to Harry Rubenstein of The Jerusalem Post, " we're led to believe that these girls are actually losing control in a moment of passion, but the song refrains from moving into typical pop fairy-land characters". A survey conducted by scientists in 2004 found that the song's slow tempo can assist in the prevention of accidents and promotion of safer driving.

“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
