The song, “Loser” written by Beck was a cry for help from an artist whose life was falling apart before his eyes. After trying to make it in the music industry in New York City, Beck returned to Los Angeles where he still struggled to find his voice in the industry.

Getting frustrated with the struggle of it all, and for the audience’s lack of attention, while performing on stage, he penned “Loser” which would end up being his breakthrough single in 1994. It turned out that voicing his struggles living in a trailer park and running out of money for food was what resonated with his audience.
