"Missing U" on YouTube

"Missing U" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn, released on 1 August 2018 as the lead single from her eighth studio album, Honey (2018).[2] It serves as her first solo single in eight years.[3] The song premiered on Annie Mac's show on BBC Radio 1.[4] The single was preceded by a seven-minute short video used to promote the single.[5]

Background

"Missing U" is Robyn's first solo release since her triple album Body Talk (2010).[6] Robyn released several collaborative EPs including Do It Again (2014) and Love Is Free (2015).[6] Robyn also had an appearance on the HBO series Girls soundtrack with the song "Honey" before work on her eighth studio album began.[7]

The demo for the song was created by Robyn in mid-2014 on her laptop along with a LinnDrum machine and a software synth.[8] She noted that the lyrics for the song took two years to complete before finishing them with producers Joseph Mount and Klas Åhlund.[8]

Composition

"Missing U" is a synth-pop[9] and disco[3] song about when people disappear as well as the singer's relationship with her fans.[10][11] The chorus is backed by bubbling synths,[12] while the rest of the song contains a minimal drum beat and grandiose synth loops.[13] The song is considered a departure from Robyn's previous work, lacking the climax that her previous songs had, instead taking on a more demo-like quality.[10] The song was written and produced by Robyn, Klas Åhlund, and Joseph Mount.[14]

Critical reception

Amanda Arnold, writing for The Cut, called the song "characteristically dance-y and synth-based and impossible to get out of your head once it's there." She also compared the song favourably to Robyn's previous singles "Dancing on My Own" and "Call Your Girlfriend".[15] Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic wrote that "Robyn holds back just enough to describe something too difficult, or too ephemeral, to deal with otherwise."[16]
