Song |
"Missing You" is a R&B song written and produced by Babyface, who produced the song for singer Mary J. Blige, who released it as the third United Kingdom single from her Share My World album, released in October 2, 1997.
The song featured Shanice in background vocals and much like "Seven Days", it talked about a woman in dilemma over a relationship with a man that she at first claimed she "wasn't in love" with but then finds herself "thinking about him all the time" and her missing him.
The song became a performance show-stopper for Blige on several stops of her "Share My World" tour and was indeed a highlight when she performed it on the Soul Train Music Awards, where she was greeted with a huge standing ovation afterwards. The song was released in the United Kingdom and eventually reached number nineteen there.
The b-side to CD: 1 of the "Missing You" single was "I Can Love You", which was not released as a stand-alone single in the United Kingdom.
