“Miss You” reads as a song about missing a long-lost friend/lover, but as Aplin explains (see below) it is also a letter to a former version of herself.
The track is Aplin’s first new music since her 2015 album Light Up The Dark and has her embracing an upbeat electro-pop direction working with pro...
[Verse 1]
So what you been doing?
I've been loving my life waking up on my own
Are you doing the same thing?
You can say if you like, but I don't need to know
And I, I've been wondering why we've been wasting all this time
So what you been doing?
I thought that I saw you, I guess I was wrong
Are you doing the same thing?
Convincing yourself you're better alone
And I could tell you how you never left my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Then, you tell me that you miss me and I'm like
[Chorus]
Oh God, I miss you, too
It's all I ever do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go
Oh God, I miss you, too
We got making up to do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go again
Oh, I won't let go again
[Verse 2]
So what were we thinking?
You got me a cab, and we said we were done
And I thought I was fine
But the days were so long, and they rolled into one
And I, I couldn't believe you were taking it in your stride
[Pre-Chorus]
Then, you tell me that you miss me and I'm like
[Chorus]
Oh God, I miss you, too
It's all I ever do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go
Oh God, I miss you, too
We got making up to do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go again
Oh, I won't let go again
[Bridge]
Will you be my best friend?
Will you be my last?
I need somebody who can love me like that
You be my best friend
Will you be my last?
I need somebody who can love me like that
[Chorus]
Oh God, I miss you, too
It's all I ever do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go
Oh God, I miss you, too
We got making up to do
I'm coming back to you
And I won't let go again
[Outro]
Will you be my best friend?
Will you be my last? (Oh, I won't let go again)
I need somebody who can love me like that
Will you be my best friend?
Will you be my last?
I need somebody who can love me like that
Miss You was written by Gabrielle Aplin & Liz Horsman.
Miss You was produced by Liz Horsman & Mike Spencer.
Gabrielle Aplin released Miss You on Wed Nov 09 2016.
Aplin told NYLON, where the song premiered:
“Miss You" is about rediscovering your former self and precious dreams, desires, and goals that may have got lost along with real life.
In the description of the video, Aplin explains:
I wanted to explore how we recall and remember certain events and memories in life. This video is a visual depiction of how our minds can alter memories into something slightly different each time we think of them.
In an interview with Apple Music, Aplin revealed the events that inspired her to write the track:
At the time this was first released [November 2016], I had just left my deal with Parlophone. It looked like I had been dropped, so it was really important what I did next. I could’ve just gone away an...
