"'Don't Lose the Magic'" is a 1992 dance/house song recorded by American singer Shawn Christopher, which was co-written by Mike "Hitman" Wilson, Shawn's brother Gavin Christopher and Bill Dickens, and co-produced by Wilson with Neal Howard, Chris Cooke, George Hess and engineer Goh Hotoda. The single was the follow up to "Another Sleepless Night", as well as her second number-one single on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart, reaching the top spot on March 28, 1992, for two weeks.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1992-03-28/dance-club-play-songs Hot Dance Club Songs, Billboard.com, issue date March 28, 1992] On the Billboard Hot 100 chart, it peaked at number 71, while in the United Kingdom, it reached number 30 on the UK Singles Chart, her highest chart position there.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' commented, "The track, which has been remixed by Mike "Hitman" Wilson, David Morales, and Todd Terry, is a slammin', R&B flavored houser that frames Christopher's fine voice with spiraling strings and a warm bass line. Guaranteed to pack dancefloors". He also added that "the beats pump hard, the hook is undeniable, and Christopher proves that she is far from a one-hit wonder." A reviewer from 'Music & Media' wrote, "The '70s disco magic is revived."
