"'What I Miss Most'" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Calum Scott. It was released in May 2018 as the fourth single from Scott's debut studio album, 'Only Human'. The track was inspired by Scott's time spent away from his family and friends. Scott said "I wrote ["What I Miss Most"] in Sweden and is an upbeat song with an optimistic view of my journey so far. It's about how I've gone from a normal Yorkshireman to being thrown into this incredible career but missing home and missing people back home and missing the town and the streets and everything."
Background
Scott calls "What I Miss Most" his nostalgia song. In an interview with 'Billboard', Scott said "It's a complete tribute to my hometown. The crest for my city is three golden crowns on top of each other, so when I say, Under three crowns when I'm far away I'm trying to basically say I'm proud of Hull, where I'm from." On Twitter, Scott supported the statement saying "[What I miss Most is]..a song about missing my hometown of Hull, but I wrote it in a way that it could be about missing anyone or anything!"
