 "Miss You" was written by R&B singer Ginuwine, Johnta Austin and Teddy Bishop; produced by the latter, it was originally crafted for Ginuwine's second studio album "100% Ginuwine" (1999).It was fall of 1999, and while Aaliyah was recording tracks for self-titled third album (2001) in the Manhattan Center Studios, she requested Austin and Bishop to play her a couple of tracks they had produced with other artists, including "I Miss You" for which Ginuwine had already lent his vocals.Bishop later commented, "She was like, 'I want to cut this record' [...] She got on the phone, called him and said 'Hey I know you cut this record already, but I would love to cut it'."
