## Background, content and release

In the 1970s, Margo Smith became successful through a series of hits in the country field. Songs like "There I Said It" (1975), "Don't Break the Heart That Loves You" (1978), "Little Things Mean a Lot" (1978) and "Still a Woman" became major hits on the Billboard country singles chart. In later decades, Smith formed a Christian duo with her daughter and released a series of albums in the same format. Continuing to tour as both a country and Christian artist, she would release Nothing to Lose in 2005. The album contained a total of ten tracks, six of which were composed by Smith herself. This included the title track, "God Gave Me You" and "When You're Down to Nothing".

Nothing to Lose also contained four recordings composed by other songwriters. This included a cover of the Christian hymns, "At the Feet of Jesus," "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" and the Ray Stevens song "Everything Is Beautiful". The album was produced by musician Dave Moody and was recorded at dLab Studios. The project was released on January 5, 2005 via Lamon Records. It was offered as a compact disc and a music download. It was Smith's first studio album since 1993's Swiss, Cowboy and Country. It was also her eighteenth studio recording and first for Lamon Records.
