Background and release

While talking about the song in an interview with Billboard , Derulo said; "I love the emotional feeling bursting. The effect of the echo, it kind of sounds like I’m in an empty room. I think it sounds like nothing else I write. It’s an emotional song that you can dance to. And the subject matter I think is really cool, it’s one that has never been talked about -- having a love that fails in this life, but it was a love that was so good that maybe the love will work in the next life.". [5] The official lyric video for "If I'm Lucky" was uploaded to Derulo's YouTube channel on September 1, 2017. [1] It was inspired by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video and features Derulo dancing with zombie dancers. [1]
