In the mid-1980s, John Waite was enjoying major solo success after leaving The Babys, thanks to his 1984 U.S. #1 hit “Missing You” and the platinum album No Brakes. It was released in June 1984 on a one sided LP Single and reached number one on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart and on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as number nine on the UK Singles chart. \"Missing You\" was the only record in 1984 to spend only a single week at the top of the Hot 100. The song was nominated for the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
Waite re-recorded the song with country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss which appeared on her album A Hundred Mile or More: A Collection, and released it to Country music radio in 2007. The re-recording peaked at number 34 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The original recording has been featured in the films, Selena (1997) and Warm Bodies (2013).
