Background
So Much Love/Born To Lose is a curious part of Chris' history as a singer, given that not much is known about this period of his songwriting career, and even less is known about the production of this single, who worked on it, and how it was received by the general public. No other musicians are known to have performed on the record, and if there were they aren't credited, and the single is barely brought up when his songwriting career is ever discussed. But this is Chris' first single under Magnet, and also his first solo outing.

Production
Born To Lose was produced by Peter Shelley, the original Alvin Stardust, and co-founder of the recently founded Magnet Records, to whom Chris had recently signed. This single marks the only recorded time that Shelley produced music recorded by Chris, as Shelley left the company in 1975.
