It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from his second album, "No Brakes". It reached #1 on "Billboard"s Album Rock Tracks and on the Hot 100 as well as #9 on the UK Singles Chart. "Missing You" was the only record from 1984 to spend only one week at the top of the Hot 100. The song was nominated for the 1985 Best Pop Vocal Performance Male Grammy Award. Waite re-recorded the song with country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss which
Missing You (The Saturdays 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!"]." The single received mostly negative reception from critics, who criticised the decision to release "Missing You" as a single, for using 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 charted in Ireland at number six but in the UK it fared better, reaching number three, beaten by Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me" featuring David Guetta and
