"Missing You" is a song by British-Irish girl group the Saturdays from their debut extended play, Headlines!. Written by Alexander Kronlund and Lukas Hilbert with production from Hilbert and James Reynolds, the song was released as the EP's lead single on 8 August 2010 as a digital download and on 9 August as a CD single. It is an electro song whose lyrics centre on being in a relationship where the passion has died, but still being addicted to the love that used to exist. 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!".[1]
The single received negative reviews from music critics, who criticised the 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 peaked at number six on the Irish Singles Chart and number three on the UK Singles Chart, 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 had lost out to Flo Rida in chart battle although it is their fourth top-ten entry in Ireland and seventh in the UK. The official remix features British grime artist Professor Green.
