"'I Miss You'" is a song recorded by Trinidadian-German musician Haddaway, released on November 29, 1993 as the third single from his debut album, 'The Album' (1993). It was written by Dee Dee Halligan, Junior Torello and Clyde Lieberman and produced by Halligan and Torello. The song was a hit in several countries, particularly in the United Kingdom and Finland where it reached the top 10, reaching number nine and four, respectively. It entered the Eurochart Hot 100 at number 87 on December 11, 1993 and peaked at number 10 on February 19, 1994. However, the single did not reach the same level of success as "What Is Love" and "Life". By March 1994, worldwide sales had reached 300,000 units.

Critical reception



A reviewer from 'Billboard' deemed "I Miss You" "among the most potent offerings" from the album.(December 1993). "Haddaway 'Haddaway'". 'Billboard'. 'Kingston Informer' described it as a "commercial slice of pop from the dance floor master with a penchant for leather.""I Miss You by Haddaway". 'Kingston Informer'. 1993-12-17. page 5. Retrieved 2020-03-28. Music writer James Masterton said in his weekly UK chart commentary, "The new single is, as might be expected, a ballad but in actual fact is far better than the current crop of seasonal hits. It's gone in too slow to be a massive Christmas hit, but a good track nonetheless." Pan-European magazine 'Music & Media' wrote, "After two massive pop dance hits, this is another, more tender side of this year's biggest new male star. For this ballad he borrowed the sequencer hook out of Seal's Crazy."

Alan Jones from 'Music Week' commented, "An unexpectedly subtle record, with a slow and shuffling beat that draws a subdued but competent vocal from Haddaway. Repeated plays draw out its finer qualities." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update viewed the song as a "mournful husky smoocher". A reviewer from 'Reading Evening Post' stated that "after two fast-paced dancefloor smashes, Haddaway makes a brave but mistaken move in slowing things down on this deeply ordinary bed foray"."HADDAWAY I Miss You". 'Reading Evening Post'. 1993-12-10. page 46. Retrieved 2020-03-28. Leesa Daniels from 'Smash Hits' called it a "slowie".
