Released as the lead single from their critically acclaimed 1978 album Some Girls, "Miss You" became a US number one hit for The Rolling Stones.

Featuring Mick Jagger's distinctive falsetto vocals detailing late-night loneliness, "Miss You" remains one of the Stones' most popular and danceable tracks. This 1978 fusion of rock, soul, and disco showcased their versatility and enduring ability to capture the musical zeitgeist while staying true to their roots.

SONG MEANING: The lyrics express feelings of loneliness and longing for an absent lover while observing the nightlife of the city ("Walking Central Park, singing after dark"). The singer reflects on their solitude ("I've been holdin' out so long / I've been sleepin' all alone") and repeatedly states how much they miss the person, contrasting the bustling external world with their internal emptiness.
