Background
The song is about Ferguson's relationship with a boyfriend, and says that signs of breaking up aren't as they seem. In the song she says "Hey I lost my phone/Maybe you called and I didn't pick up/And if you wondered that's all it means". Ferguson also says she would give up all the good things in the world just to be with the boy she loves, because he is "Too Good to Lose".
Music video

The video shows Ferguson strolling along Venice Beach, California wearing a red dress and features many bright and unique characters which implies all that is good cannot be lost.
Critical reception
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review, stating:
"Maybe you called and I didn't pick up/ And if you wondered that's all it means," she assures in her peppery tones over a soul-tinged piano riff. Her smitten-but-still-independent stance makes for a wonderfully refreshing change from the 'til death do us part norm, especially when it comes sans in-yer-face finger snapping. Just effortless sass and sophistication.
