I Miss You (Blink-182 song)

"I Miss You" is a song by American rock band Blink-182. It was released as the second single from the group's self-titled album (2003) on February 2, 2004 through Geffen Records. It was written by guitarist Tom DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, and was produced by Jerry Finn. The track marks a stylistic departure for the band, built around acoustic instrumentation including stand-up bass, cello, piano, and a brushstroked drum loop, layered into a moody, groove-driven arrangement. Its gothic style was inspired by the Cure.

The song was developed in a home studio that had been built out inside a rented mansion. DeLonge and Hoppus went to separate rooms to write lyrics based on the theme, finding ways to combine them after time apart. The song explores vulnerability and heartache in love, conveying the fear of emotional loss and unreciprocated feelings. The song's artful music video, shot by Jonas Åkerlund, depicts the trio in a haunted mansion run by ghosts. "I Miss You" topped Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US; it also charted across the globe, and was a top ten hit in the United Kingdom.

Music critics complimented the song's unconventional structure and tone. The song's dark, emo-inflected feel built lasting popularity, and DeLonge's distinctive vocal delivery in the song became iconic. "I Miss You" has been frequently covered by artists across genres; it was a primary inspiration for the 2010s hit "Closer" by the Chainsmokers. It has been recognized in retrospective rankings as one of the band's best songs. It is among the songs to surpass one billion streams on Spotify.
