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.
