“I Miss You” came about during a solo writing session that Julia Michaels had been in for other artists. It was only up until now that she decided to let Clean Bandit have the song for their upcoming project.

The song is about missing a romantic partner of a relationship that recently ended. Julia doesn’t handle this collapse well and describes the ways in which she keeps memories about the person she’s still attached to and wishes to be near them.

The song marks the first time that Michaels has worked with Clean Bandit.
