Miss You (feat. Cashmere Cat & Tory Lanez)

In 'Miss You,' Major Lazer, featuring Cashmere Cat and Tory Lanez, delves into the emotional turmoil of longing and the complexities of love. The song's lyrics capture the essence of missing someone deeply, even when trying to move on. The repeated attempts to forget the person, only to find them unforgettable, highlight the struggle of letting go. The line 'Took time to get you, took time to let you know, tried to forget you, you're unforgettable' encapsulates this sentiment perfectly.

The song's chorus emphasizes the constant presence of the loved one in the narrator's mind. With 'There's 24 hours in a day, I think about you more than 24 times,' the lyrics convey an obsessive longing that permeates every moment. This obsession is further underscored by the repeated questioning of whether the narrator can rekindle the physical and emotional connection they once had. The lines 'Can I hit it like that? Like this, like that? Uh-huh, you know' and 'Can I kiss it like that? Like this, like that?' suggest a yearning to relive past intimacies and the comfort they brought.

The song also touches on the theme of time and its role in healing and understanding love. The narrator acknowledges the need for time to process their feelings, as seen in 'Through loving you, I needed time, I needed time, and now I'm like.' This recognition of time's importance in dealing with emotions adds depth to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of missing someone. The repeated refrain of 'I've been waiting' underscores the enduring hope and patience that often accompany such feelings of longing.
