The Yardbirds originally recorded “Knowing That I’m Losing You” in April 1968 at Columbia Studios in New York City with Keith Relf on vocals. Two years later, the song was re-worked by Led Zeppelin (supposedly during their stay at Bron-Yr-Aur or shortly after) and released on their third untitled album.

According to biographer George Case, the inspiration behind it is Jimmy’s ex-lover Jackie DeShannon, but although he claims to have written all the lyrics, other sources suggest that they were actually co-written by him and Yardbirds singer Keith Relf.
