Background and release

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.
