"Miss You" is a popular song written by Jake Schulze and Rami Yacoub. It was originally recorded as a ballad, by the Irish boy band Westlife, but was never released as a single. In 2008, it was remade as a dance track by Swedish DJ and producer Basshunter becoming a hit single for him as "I Miss You" in 2008, notably in UK, Germany and Sweden.

Westlife song[]

The original song "Miss You" appeared on Irish boy band Westlife's 1999 debut album, Westlife. Although the album produced five different singles "Swear It Again", "If I Let You Go", "Flying Without Wings", the double A-side "I Have a Dream" / "Seasons in the Sun" all in 1999 and "Fool Again" and a remake of "More Than Words" both released in 2000, the song "Miss You" was never released as a single. The Westlife version heavily uses the sound of Irish instruments such as Fiddles and Bagpipes, making up a strong Irish sound. Moreover, the version is structured starting very soft and low until raising to soaring melody, leaving an anthem-like feel. The song charted in Ireland despite not being released as a single. It peaked at 96.

Basshunter's track "I Miss You" featured lead vocals by the UK singer Lauren Dyson. It appeared on his 2008 album, Now You're Gone – The Album. The track was released as his fifth single from the album following "Now You're Gone" released in 2007, "All I Ever Wanted", Please Don't Go, a cover of KC and the Sunshine Band and "Angel in the Night" all in 2008.

Music video[]

The music video was added to Hard2Beat's YouTube channel on 5 November 2008 and features a Christmas theme.^[3]

Picking up where Aylar and Basshunter left off in "Angel in the Night", "I Miss You" is set amongst the mountains of Norway in a beautiful log cabin. Aylar, Basshunter, and a gang of friends have the ultimate Christmas Day with presents, a jacuzzi, snow fights, and bikinis.^[4]
