The Sword in the Stone is a 1963 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney and released by Buena Vista Distribution. The 18th Disney animated feature film, it was the final Disney animated film to be released before Walt Disney's death. The songs in the film were written and composed by the Sherman Brothers, who later wrote music for other Disney films like Mary Poppins (1964), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), and Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971).
The film is based on the novel of the same name, which was first published in 1938 as a single novel. It was later republished in 1958 as the first book of T. H. White's tetralogy The Once and Future King. The Sword in the Stone was released to theaters on December 25, 1963 to mixed reviews, though it was a box office success.

Plot[edit]
After the King of England, Uther Pendragon, dies, leaving no heir to the throne, a sword magically appears inside an anvil in London. The sword bears an inscription proclaiming that "whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is rightwise king born of England". No one can remove the sword, which is eventually forgotten, leaving England in the Dark Ages.
Years later, a 12-year-old orphan named Arthur, commonly called Wart, accidentally scares off a deer his older foster brother Kay was hunting, causing Kay to launch his arrow into the forest. In attempting to retrieve the arrow, Arthur lands in the cottage of Merlin the wizard, who declares himself Arthur's tutor and returns with the boy to his home, a castle run by Sir Ector, Arthur's foster father. Ector's friend, Sir Pellinore, arrives with news that the annual jousting tournament will be held on New Year's Day in London, and the winner will be crowned king. Ector decides to put Kay through serious training for the tournament and appoints Arthur as Kay's squire.
In order to educate Arthur, Merlin transforms the boy and himself into fish. They swim in the castle moat in order to learn about physics. Arthur is attacked by a pike but is saved by Archimedes, Merlin's pet owl. Arthur is sent to the kitchen as punishment for trying to relate his lesson to a disbelieving Ector. Merlin enchants the dishes to wash themselves, then takes Arthur for another lesson, turning them into squirrels to learn about gravity. Arthur is nearly eaten by a wolf, but is saved by a female squirrel who falls in love with him. After they return to human form, Ector accuses Merlin of using black magic on the dishes. Arthur defiantly defends Merlin, but Ector refuses to listen and punishes Arthur by giving Kay another squire, Hobbs.
Resolving to make amends, Merlin plans on educating Arthur full-time. However, Merlin's knowledge of future history causes confusion, prompting Merlin to appoint Archimedes as Arthur's teacher. When Arthur imagines what it would be like to fly, Merlin transforms him into a sparrow and Archimedes teaches Arthur how to fly. However, during their lesson Arthur is attacked by a hawk and falls into the chimney of Madam Mim, an eccentric, evil witch and Merlin's nemesis. Mim's magic uses trickery, as opposed to Merlin's scientific skill. Merlin intervenes before Mim can destroy Arthur, and she challenges him to a Wizards' Duel. Despite Mim's cheating, Merlin outsmarts her by transforming into a fictional germ called "Malignalitaloptereosis" that infects her with a chickenpox-like disease requiring several weeks of bed rest, effectively defeating her and illustrating the importance of knowledge over strength.
On Christmas Eve, Kay is knighted, but when Hobbs comes down with the mumps, Ector is forced to reinstate Arthur as Kay's squire. This causes a falling-out between Arthur and Merlin, who angrily transports himself to Bermuda when Arthur defends his choices. On the day of the tournament, Arthur realizes that he has left Kay's sword at an inn, which is now closed for the tournament. Archimedes sees the legendary "Sword in the Stone", which Arthur removes almost effortlessly, unknowingly fulfilling the prophecy. When Arthur returns with the sword, Ector recognizes it and the tournament is halted. Ector places the sword back in its anvil, demanding Arthur prove that he pulled it. Thinking anyone can pull the sword now, Kay and others try unsuccessfully to retrieve it. Sir Pellinore and another knight, Sir Bart, stand up for Arthur and encourage him to pull the sword again. He does so, revealing that he is England's rightful king. Ector kneels before Arthur and begs him for forgiveness for his mistreatment, and then orders Kay to bow down to Arthur. Kay, hesitantly does at first, then after looking at Arthur, seems to display regret for his bullying of Arthur, and does so sincerely.
Arthur, crowned king, sits in the throne room with Archimedes, feeling unprepared to take the responsibility of ruling but Merlin returns from 20th-century Bermuda to reassure him, and is elated to find that Arthur is the king that he saw in the future. Merlin tells Arthur that he will go on to lead the Knights of the Round Table and become one of the most famous figures in literature and motion pictures.
Cast and characters[edit]
Rickie Sorensen, Richard Reitherman, and Robert Reitherman as Arthur, also known as Wart. He is Disney's adaptation of legendary British leader King Arthur. Arthur was voiced by three actors, leading to noticeable changes in voice between scenes—and sometimes, within the same scene. Also, the three voices have American accents, sharply contrasting with the English setting and the accents spoken by most of other characters in the film.[3] Mari Ness notes that as the film's themes "is about growing up, this problem might have been overcome".[3]
Karl Swenson as Merlin, the legendary wizard who aids and educates Arthur. Merlin was animated by several of Disney's Nine Old Men, including Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and John Lounsbery. Kahl designed the character, refining the storyboard sketches of Bill Peet. Merlin can be recognized by his massive beard, which gets caught in most of his machines, and a pair of glasses he wears. He is the world's most powerful wizard.
Junius Matthews as Archimedes, Merlin's crotchety, yet highly educated pet owl, who has the ability of speaking and is the comic relief of the film. Archimedes accompanies Arthur during training, and it is he who alerts Merlin after Arthur falls into Madam Mim's cottage and she almost kills him. Archimedes stays with Arthur while Merlin travels to 20th-century Bermuda.
Sebastian Cabot as Sir Ector, the ruler of the King's castle and the foster father of Arthur. He does not believe in magic until Merlin casts a blizzard before him, thus allowing the wizard to educate Arthur in the castle, even though Ector has forbidden it. Ector often treats Arthur harshly, and possesses a clear authority over him. However, he does care for Arthur, and does not always want to treat him poorly, but rather feels responsible for his welfare. Cabot also provides the brief narration at the beginning and end of the film.
Norman Alden as Sir Kay, the older foster brother of Arthur and son of Ector. Though he is inept at jousting and sword fighting, Ector remains determined to groom him for knighthood and to possibly take the crown. He is outwardly boorish and bitter, and also constantly bullies Arthur.
Martha Wentworth as Madam Mim, a black magic proficient witch and Merlin's nemesis. She is the only antagonist of the film to be part of the official Disney Villains line-up. She was animated by two of Disney's legendary Nine Old Men, Milt Kahl (who designed the character, refining storyboard sketches from Bill Peet), and Frank Thomas. Kahl animated her initial interaction with Arthur, while Thomas oversaw her part of the Wizards' Duel with Merlin. Wentworth also voiced the Granny Squirrel, a dim-witted, elderly female squirrel that develops an attraction to Merlin.
Alan Napier as Sir Pellinore, a friend of Sir Ector who announces the tournament where Arthur is revealed as king.
Thurl Ravenscroft as Sir Bart, also known as the Black Knight, one of the first to recognize the sword pulled by Arthur from the stone.
James MacDonald as The Wolf, an unnamed, starving wolf that wants to eat Wart.
Ginny Tyler as The Little Girl Squirrel, a young female squirrel that Wart come across. She immediately develops an attraction to him. After she saves him from the wolf and Wart returns to human form, she breaks down into tears and runs away. She is last seen watching Wart and Merlin leave the forest, heartbroken, and crying as the screen fades to black.
Barbara Jo Allen as Sir Ector's Scullery Maid.
Production[edit]
In 1939, Walt Disney first obtained the film rights to T. H. White's The Sword in the Stone, and the initial storyboards were produced in 1949.[4] When work on One Hundred and One Dalmatians was completed in 1960, two projects were in development, which were Chanticleer and The Sword in the Stone.[5] The former was developed by Ken Anderson and Marc Davis who aimed to produce a feature animated film in a more contemporary setting. Both of them had visited the Disney archives, and decided to adapt the satirical tale into production upon glancing at earlier conceptions dating back to the 1940s.[6] Anderson, Davis, Milt Kahl, and director Wolfgang Reitherman spent months preparing elaborate storyboards for Chanticleer, and following a silent response following a story reel presentation, a voice from the back of the room said, "You can't make a personality out of a chicken!" The voice belonged to Bill Peet.[7] When the time came to approve one of the two projects, Walt remarked that the problem with making a rooster a protagonist was that "[you] don't feel like picking up a rooster up and petting it."[8] Meanwhile, work on The Sword in the Stone were solely done by veteran story artist Bill Peet. After Disney had seen the 1960 Broadway production of Camelot, he approved the project to enter production.[9] Ollie Johnston stated, "[Kahl] got furious with Bill for not pushing Chanticleer after all the work he had put in on it. He said, 'I can draw a damn fine rooster, you know.' Bill said, 'So can I.'"[10] Peet recalled "how humiliated they were to accept defeat and give in to The Sword in the Stone...He allowed to have their own way, and they let him down. They never understood that I wasn't trying to compete with them, just trying to do what I wanted to work. I was the midst of all this competition, and with Walt to please, too."[11]
Writing in his autobiography, Peet decided to write a screenplay before producing storyboards, though he found the narrative "complicated, with the Arthurian legend woven into a mixture of other legends and myths" and finding a direct storyline required "sifting and sorting".[12] After Walt received the first screenplay draft, he told Peet that it should have more substance. On his second draft, Peet lengthened it by enlarging on the more dramatic aspects of the story, in which Walt approved of through a call from Palm Springs, Florida.[12]
Casting[edit]
For the voice of Merlin, director Wolfgang Reitherman estimated that seventy actors read for the part, but "none evidenced that note of eccentricity that we were seeking. We wanted Merlin to be eccentric but not hokey." At the same time, Karl Swenson was initially cast for Archimedes, but the filmmakers decided to cast him instead as Merlin. Rickie Sorensen, who had voiced young Arthur, entered puberty during production,[13] which forced the older Reitherman to cast his sons, Richard and Robert, to replace him.[14]
Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
The Sword in the Stone was a financial success at the box office and became the sixth highest-grossing film of 1963, earning estimated theatrical rentals of $4.75 million.[15] The film was re-released on March 25, 1983 and grossed $12 million.[16] The film received a lifetime gross of $22,182,353 in North America.[2]
Critical reaction[edit]
The film received mixed reviews from critics, who thought it had too much humor and a "thin narrative".[17] Variety wrote that the film "demonstrates anew the magic of the Disney animators and imagination in character creation. But one might wish for a script which stayed more with the basic story line rather than taking so many twists and turns which have little bearing on the tale about King Arthur as a lad."[18] Bosley Crowther of The New York Times praised the film claiming it is "an eye-filling package of rollicking fun and thoughtful common sense. The humor sparkles with real, knowing sophistication — meaning for all ages — and some of the characters on the fifth-century landscape of Old England are Disney pips."[19]
Rotten Tomatoes reported that 71% of critics gave the film positive reviews based on 24 reviews with an average score of 6/10. Its consensus states that "A decent take on the legend of King Arthur, The Sword in the Stone suffers from relatively indifferent animation, but its characters are still memorable and appealing."[20] Nell Minow of Common Sense Media gave the film four out of five stars, writing, "Delightful classic brings Arthur legend to life".[21] In his book The Best of Disney, Neil Sinyard states that, despite not being well known, the film has excellent animation, a complex structure, and is actually more philosophical than other Disney features. Sinyard suggests that Walt Disney may have seen something of himself in Merlin, and that Mim, who "hates wholesome sunshine", may have represented critics.[17]
Accolades[edit]
The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Score—Adaptation or Treatment in 1963, but lost against Irma La Douce.[22]
In 2008, the American Film Institute nominated The Sword in the Stone for its Top 10 Animated Films list.[23]

Home media[edit]
The Sword in the Stone was released on North American VHS in early 1986 as a part of the Walt Disney Classics collection as well as another VHS release on July 12, 1991. It was first released on VHS in the UK in 1988 followed by a re-issue the following year. It was re-released on VHS on October 28, 1994 as a part of the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection. It was released on DVD on March 20, 2001 in a Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection line-up. It includes two classic short films, A Knight for a Day and Brave Little Tailor, as well as the film facts. The DVD of the film was re-released as a 45th anniversary special edition on June 17, 2008.[24] For its 50th anniversary, it was released on Blu-ray on August 6, 2013.[25]
Other media[edit]
Several characters from the film made frequent appearances in the Disney's House of Mouse television series. Merlin was voiced by Hamilton Camp. One notable appearance in the series was in the episode: "Rent Day", in which he tells Mickey Mouse that he will give him the 50 ups only if he gives Arthur a sword. Madam Mim appears as a villain in the spin-off film Mickey's House of Villains. Merlin frequents the Disney Parks, the only character from the film appearing for meet-and-greets at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. He appears in the opening unit of Walt Disney's Parade of Dreams at Disneyland Park. He also hosts the Sword in the Stone ceremony in the King Arthur Carrousel attraction in Fantasyland at Disneyland. In 2014 and 2015, UK health directive Change4Life incorporated "Higitus Figitus" as the soundtrack to adverts promoting their Disney-sponsored "10 minute shake up" summer program.
Comics[edit]
Madam Mim
Madam Mim was adopted into the Duck universe where she sometimes teams with Magica De Spell and/or the Beagle Boys. She also appeared in the Mickey Mouse universe where she teamed with Black Pete on occasion and with the Phantom Blot at one point. She was in love with Captain Hook in several stories; in others, with Phantom Blot. In many European Disney comics, she lost her truly evil streak, and appears morbid yet relatively polite.
Mim has appeared in numerous comics produced in the United States by Studio Program in the 1960s and 1970s,[26] often as a sidekick of Magica. Most of the stories were published in Europe and South America. Among the artists are Jim Fletcher, Tony Strobl, Wolfgang Schäfer, and Katja Schäfer. Several new characters were introduced in these stories, including Samson Hex, an apprentice of Mim and Magica.[27]
Video games[edit]
Madam Mim appears in the video game World of Illusion as the fourth boss of that game.
Merlin is a supporting character in the Kingdom Hearts series, now voiced by Jeff Bennett in Kingdom Hearts II.[28][29] In Kingdom Hearts, Merlin lives in an abandoned shack in Traverse Town with Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, sent by King Mickey to aid Sora, Donald, and Goofy in the art of magic. He owns an old book which features the world of The Hundred Acre Wood, home of Winnie the Pooh. The book's pages, however, have been torn out and scattered across the universe, and Merlin asks Sora to retrieve them for him. He reprises the same role in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, as a figment of Sora's memories. In Kingdom Hearts II, Merlin moved to Hollow Bastion to aid Leon's group as part of the town Restoration Committee, though he is at odds with Cid who prefers his own computer expertise rather than Merlin's magic. Merlin again instructs Sora, Donald and Goofy in the art of magic, and again requests that they retrieve the stolen parts of the Pooh storybook. At one point in the game, he is summoned to Disney Castle by Queen Minnie to counter the threat of Maleficent, and he constructs a door leading to Disney Castle's past (Timeless River) for the trio to explore and stop Maleficent and Pete's plans. In the prequel, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Merlin encounters Terra, Aqua and Ventus, and grants them each access to the Hundred Acre Wood. The prequel also reveals that it was Terra who gave him the book in the first place after finding it in Radiant Garden. According to series creator Tetsuya Nomura, a world based on the film was initially to appear in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, but the idea was scrapped.
Live-action film adaptation[edit]
According to The Hollywood Reporter in 2015, Disney began developing a live-action film adaptation to be offered on their Disney streaming service with Bryan Cogman writing and Brigham Taylor producing.[30] In January 2018, it was announced that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will direct the film.[31] Principal production is set to commence on September 24, 2018, in Belfast, Ireland.[32]

"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor for her first studio album Title (2015). The song features American singer John Legend. It was written by Trainor, Justin Weaver, and Caitlyn Smith, and produced by Chris Gelbuda and Trainor. Released by Epic Records on June 23, 2015, as Trainor's fourth and final single from the album, it is a soul song. Lyrically, it is an optimistic and inspiring love song with a theme of fatalism and conveys the message to not take time with loved ones for granted.
The song topped the Australian singles chart for four consecutive weeks and reached number one in New Zealand for three weeks.[1] The song peaked at number eight on both the Billboard Hot 100,[2] and the Canadian Hot 100, becoming Trainor's third top 10 single in both countries. The song's music video was directed by Constellation Jones and released on July 9, 2015. It depicts Trainor and Legend singing in the candlelight as it rains outside. Trainor promoted "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" in a number of appearances, including live performances at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It was also performed at Trainor's That Bass Tour and MTrain Tour (2015).

Writing and development[edit]
['Like I'm Gonna Lose You' has] very emotional lyrics that take you to a real place. I wrote it in Nashville about ... you know when you have those nightmares that your brother or sister or boyfriend just dies? And you wake up sweating and crying and then you have to go check on them to make sure they're still alive and they are and you're like, 'Oh my God – thank God'. It's like I'm going to love you like I'm going to lose you because I know what it feels like from that dream and I'm not going to let it happen.
“
”
—Trainor on the song's conception in an interview with Digital Spy[3]
"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was written by Meghan Trainor, Justin Weaver, and Caitlyn Smith.[4] It was composed as a demo "years ago", but Trainor was at first hesitant to show the song to her record label during the recording of her debut album, Title (2015).[5]
At the request of Trainor's uncle, Burton Toney, her management listened to the track. Trainor recalls one of her managers being brought to tears by the song, resulting in the decision to include it on the album.[5] The song was produced by Trainor and Chris Gelbuda, who she had first met in 2011 at a music conference in Colorado. They later co-wrote Sabrina Carpenter's "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying". During their recording of the track "3am" for Title, Trainor told Gelbuda about "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", a reggae song which she felt was a poor fit for the album. The pair brainstormed, with Gelbuda playing various melodies on a guitar, resulting in a change in sound and tempo. "She dug it and it just worked. We built the track together, she sang the vocals, and I worked at it for weeks," Gelbuda recalls.[6][7] They recorded "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" in 2014 at The Green Room, Gelbuda's home studio, in East Nashville, Tennessee. Trainor and Gelbuda performed all of the track's instrumentation, production, and programming.[4][7]
Initially intended to be a solo recording, L.A. Reid sent it to John Legend, who shares the same management as Trainor.[5][6] Legend said, "I love this: I want to be a part of it".[5] Trainor announced her collaboration with Legend in an interview with MTV News at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in September 2014.[5] His vocal was recorded as a duet with Trainor's by Jason Agel at Germano Studios in New York City, with the assistance of Kenta Yonesaka. "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was mixed by Manny Marroquin at Larabee North Studios in Universal City, California and mastered by Dave Kutch at The Mastering Palace in New York City.[4] Gelbuda describes it as "classic and jazzy" and "a big departure from everything she's done".[7]

"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" is a retro style soul ballad.[8] It features Trainor's soprano vocals in a duet with Legend, and includes additional background vocals by Trainor and Gelbuda.[4][9] The track comprises minimal harmonies and instrumental accompaniment, showcasing Trainor and Legend's vocals at its forefront.[10] Critics noted the song as a more earnest, tender, and subdued sound compared Trainor's other material.[11][12][13] The track is set in the time signature of 12
8 time, with a slow tempo of 72 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of C major and has a sequence of C–F/C–C–Em–Am–F–C/E–Dm7–F/G as its chord progression.[14]
Characterized as a love song with a lyrical theme of fatalism, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" channels anxiety about losing someone into determination to make the most of every moment.[12][15][16] According to Gelbuda, the track is about not taking time with loved ones for granted.[6]
Critical reception[edit]
Rolling Stone writer Chuck Arnold called the song "finger-snapping balladry" and likened it to duets by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.[17] Melanie J. Sims of the Associated Press felt that "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was the most refreshing track on Title, writing "Not only is it a nice change of pace sonically, but in a rare moment, the track gives Trainor's vocals the main stage, without a catchy hook or quirky production yanking away the spotlight".[13] Similarly, Elysa Gardener of USA Today wrote: "Trainor is at her most appealing when she doesn't try to be sly or subversive. Her yearning soprano is a perfect match for guest John Legend's silky voice and presence on 'Like I'm Gonna Lose You'".[9] Glenn Gamboa of Newsday called the song "classic-sounding" and said that it would "stick with Trainor throughout her sure-to-be-lengthy career".[8] Martin Townsend of the Daily Express named "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", along with "Walkashame", as the album's best tracks.[18] Virgin Media's Ian Gittins opined that the song manifested Trainor's vocal prowess.[19]
In a mixed review, The Daily Telegraph's Helen Brown opined that the ballad was formulaic, but complimented Legend's sincerity of tone.[20] Daily News writer Jim Farber commented that the track "played to the smarm of Legend", and further added, "Trainor can turn earnest—not always in a good way".[11] Marc Hirsh of The Boston Globe wrote, "When [Trainor] steps away from pastiche, she struggles; John Legend comes through loud and clear on boilerplate ballad 'Like I'm Gonna Lose You,' while she could be anybody at all".[21] Billboard writer Carl Wilson shared the views of Farber and Hirsh, and said that Legend's vocal added "deeper textures to an otherwise static [song]".[22]
Chart performance[edit]
"Like I'm Gonna Lose You" debuted at number 63 on the Canadian Hot 100 and number 11 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles charts issued for January 31, 2015.[23][24] The song later re-entered US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at a new peak of number 10 for the chart dated June 6, 2015.[25] For the chart dated July 25, 2015, the track debuted on the Hot 100 at number 95. On the week charting October 3, 2015, the song charted at number 45 and steadily rose to a peak position of number 18 on November 6, and later reached a new peak of number 8, on the issue dated 12 December, thus becoming Trainor's third and Legend's second top-10 single. It also peaked at number one on the Adult Top 40 chart.[26]
In Australia, "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" debuted at number 80 on the Australian Singles Chart issued for June 8, 2015. It climbed 61 positions to number 19 the following week, marking Trainor fifth consecutive top-20 hit in the country.[27] The following week, it ascended to number five, finally hitting the number one position on the chart the following week.[28] It stayed at number one for a total of four weeks.[29] In New Zealand, the song debuted on the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 26 on the chart dated June 29, 2015. In its second week, the song dropped to number 32, before rising to number 13 the following week. After four weeks on the chart, the song was certified gold and reached number one, marking Trainor's third number-one hit and fifth top-10 hit.[30][31] It gave Legend his first number-one single in the country and his second top-10.[31]
Music video[edit]
On June 18, 2015, Trainor confirmed that the shooting for the "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" music video had begun.[32] She premiered the music video in Times Square on July 9, 2015.[33] Trainor released the videos behind the scenes on July 21, 2015.[34][35]
In the video, directed by Constellation Jones, Trainor is singing amid candlelight in a darkened building as it rains outside. As the video continues, different aspects of love are shown in the rain: a mother and child, romantic couples, and friendships, braving their way through the same rainy night.[36]
The music video on YouTube has more than 430 million views as of January 2018.[37]
Live performances[edit]
Trainor performing "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" on The Today Show in May 2015
Trainor performed "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" during her That Bass Tour as a duet with either Matt Prince or George Sheppard of Sheppard at selected dates.[38][39] At the tour's date in Birmingham on April 11, 2015, Trainor was joined by Nathan Sykes for a duet of the song.[40][41] In a review of Sykes and Trainor's rendition, Noelle Devolle of Seventeen said, "It goes without saying that these two are pretty much cementing themselves as the new King and Queen of doo-wop and soul, and they need to collaborate".[42]
Trainor and Legend's first performance together of "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" was at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards on May 17, 2015.[43][44] According to Hugh McIntyre of Forbes, the rendition was widely applauded.[45] It was the third most-tagged performance of the night on Shazam. William Gruger of Billboard wrote, "It's notable that Shazam was so popular with the slow, ballad-oriented tracks, which suggested that they were some of the most engaging moments of the evening".[46] The performance spurred a 45% increase in Title's unit sales in the United States, helping it rise seven positions to number five on the Billboard 200 that week.[47] Trainor climbed from number seven to number four on the Billboard Artist 100 as a result.[44] Joe Lynch of Billboard described the rendition as "one of the night's quiet victories: Not a show-stopper, but a performance that stuck with you".[48] Trainor and Legend sang "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 21, 2015.[7] She performed the track solo in a set for The Today Show on May 22, 2015, along with "Dear Future Husband", "All About That Bass" and "Lips Are Movin".[49] An a cappella rendition of the song by Trainor and Legend premiered on May 27, 2015, by Entertainment Weekly, as part of Pop TV's "Massive Musical Mash-Up".[50] Trainor also performed along with Legend on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 14, 2015.[51] Trainor performed the song on the American Music Awards of 2015 on November 22, 2015, in a medley with Charlie Puth's collaboration "Marvin Gaye".[52]
Girl group Fifth Harmony, with whom Trainor previously collaborated on their debut album Reflection, covered the song at the 2016 Billboard Women in Music ceremony, at which Trainor was supposed to perform but was unable to due to her vocal chords being damaged. The performance was one of the group's last with their original lineup, before member Camila Cabello left the group in December of the same year. Trainor praised the group's performance via social media after the ceremony.
