Written for the semi-autobiographical film '8 Mile,' 'Lose Yourself' is one of the most successful rap songs in history. Eminem reportedly wrote all three verses in a single sitting while on the set of the movie, using a portable studio. Legend has it he recorded the entire vocal track in one take. The song's opening lines about 'mom's spaghetti' have since become a massive internet meme and the name of Eminem's real-life restaurant in Detroit. It was the first hip-hop song to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song, though Eminem was so convinced he wouldn't win that he didn't even attend the ceremony—he was at home sleeping. The song spent 12 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest 'workout' or 'motivation' songs ever recorded, due to its driving beat and lyrical focus on seizing the moment.
