"Missing You" is a song written and recorded by singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg in 1981 at the Bennett House studios in Franklin, Tennessee with producer and Elvis Presley bassist Norbert Putnam and drummer Joe Vitale who was known for his work providing a Latin feel to recordings with Stephen Stills Manassas Band and on CSN's song Dark Star. Previously unreleased, Missing You was included on his Greatest Hits LP and released simultaneously.

"Missing You" peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] It reached number 29 in Canada.
