About Missing You

"Missing You" is a song performed by British-Irish girl group The Saturdays, taken from their first EP, Headlines!. Written by Alexander Kronlund and Lukas Hilbert with production from Hilbert and James Reynolds, the song was released as the collection's lead single on 8 August 2010 as a digital download and on 9 August as a CD single. The lyrics centre on being in a relationship where the passion has died, but still being addicted to the love that used to exist. It features an electropop production, incorporating elements of synthpop. The group described the song as "an updated version of their sound" and was fun to record and experiment with. "Missing You is more out-there than that rest of [Headlines!]."The single received mostly negative reception from critics, who criticised the decision to release "Missing You" as a single, for using auto-tuned vocals and the song's production, which lacked energy. An accompanying music video features scenes of the group dancing on a beach in Málaga, Spain. It charted in Ireland at number six but in the UK it fared better, reaching number three, beaten by Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" featuring David Guetta and Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna. It was the second time that the group have lost out to Flo Rida in chart battle although it is their fourth top-ten hit in Ireland and seventh in the UK. The official remix features British grime artist, rapper and songwriter Professor Green.

I miss missing you
I miss missing you

Where's the pain when you walk out the door
It doesn't hurt like it used to before
Where's the love that we couldn't ignore
It doesn't kick like a pill anymore
Where's the thrill at the end of our fights
Where's the heat when we turn off the lights

I just miss all the miss that we made
When we still have the passion to hate

I miss missing you, sometimes
I miss hurting you 'til you cry
I miss watching you as you try
Try not to end up in tears
Begging to get back together
I just want you to be
To be stuck in a second forever
So don't freak out and believe.

Sometimes I'm just missing
Missing You
I miss missing you

There's a dark cloud pulling me in
That's the girl I was breathing in sin
There's a blind force letting it win
And it's longing to tear us apart
I get high when you're making me weak
Let me down 'til I crawl on my knees

I just miss all the mess that we made
When we still have the passion to hate

I miss missing you sometimes
I miss hurting you 'til you cry
I miss watching you as you try
Try not to end up in tears
Begging to get back together
I just want you to be
To be stuck in this second forever
So don't freak out if I leave

Sometimes I'm just missing, missing you
I miss missing you

Miss missing, miss missing, miss missing
I wanna crush in your arms at the other side of the world
Miss missing, miss missing, miss missing
I wanna die for you 'cause love is only true if it hurts

I miss missing you sometimes
I miss hurting you 'til you cry
I miss watching you as you try
Try not to end up in tear's (ooh)
Begging to get back together (together)
I just want you to be (want you to be, yeah)
To be stuck in this second forever
So don't freak out if I leave

Sometimes I'm just missing (I'm missing)
Missing you (no, missing you)
I miss missing you
