Miss You, the TikTok song: the lyrics and their meaning
Miss You is a song about being better off alone when toxic people are around you. Although the title “Miss You” may make you think the author misses someone, the song is a rework of Oliver Tree’s 2020 track Jerk, whose lyrics indeed explain how he prefers to be left alone by people who hurt him.
The whole song demands that the others don’t bother him any longer. He wants to be alone; he minds his own business, so there is no reason for the others to break his balance:
Don’t remind me
I’m mindin’ my own damn business
Don’t try to find me
I’m better left alone than in this
[…]
If you really don’t like me
Find somebody else, it could be anyone else out there
From the lines above, we understand that the singer faces a specific person who doesn’t really like him. Nevertheless, this person still seems to bug him, bringing nothing good to Oliver’s life. That’s where the chorus comes from: that “don’t fret” represents the singer’s frustration returned to the one who originates it.
Don’t fret
I don’t ever wanna see you
And I never wanna meet you again
One thing
When you’re angry, you’re a jerk
And then you treat me like I’m worth nothin’
So why is the song titled Miss You now? That could be just an initiative by the German DJ Southstar, who was the first to remix Oliver Tree’s Jerk in 2022. As Billboard carefully explained in this article, the way this remix was born and shared wasn’t really clean: originally, Southstar’s version was unauthorized, and when it became popular, Oliver Tree’s label Atlantic contacted him, trying to buy his version for a small price. Southstar preferred to re-record the vocal part and obtain the clearance to use the melody from the original song’s producers, Oliver Tree, Marshmello, and David Pramik. But by doing that, he needed to give up 100% of his publishing. Some days later, Atlantic Records published Robin Schulz’s version, with Oliver Tree’s lyrics, which sounds exactly the same as Southstar’s one, but with all the publishing rights in order (Atlantic is the label that released the original song).
Southstar’s version got less visible after Atlantic released the song. But the song’s title remained the one Southstar gave: probably a re-interpretation of the lyrics based on his personal point of view.
