Composition

The album producer Paul Godfrey posted his opinion about song on Morcheeba's official website, writing:

It's about succeeding in every way and still feeling like there is something missing. When Manda put her voice to it, it sounded really bittersweet.[3]

Critical reception

IndieLondon noted that "Gained the World" is "a melody-laden beauty that introduces the listener to the soothing tones of French vocalist Manda for the first time."[4]

Music video

The animated music video was directed by Joel Trussell, an American artist who also made the video for "Enjoy the Ride".
