About the song
Released in 1978, “Miss You” by The Rolling Stones was a standout single from their album “Some Girls”, which marked a significant turning point in the band’s musical evolution. The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the legendary songwriting duo behind much of the band’s greatest hits, and it showcased a new direction for the Stones. Known for their rebellious rock ‘n’ roll sound, this track, with its distinctive blend of disco, rock, and soul, was a departure from the band’s traditional style and reflected the musical trends of the late ’70s.
