Background

"Officially Missing You" was written and produced by 7 Aurelius. [5] A melancholic lament that is built around an acoustic guitar, it marked a departure for Aurelius who was primarily known for his hip hop productions up to then. [6] In an interview with Billboard remarked that she was initially nervous about working with him, saying: "It was different than what I thought he was going to bring. But when we met in the studio, we instantly clicked. The song was very bare — just a guitar and a click track. That's the best way to record, because you can really put emotion in there." [6]

Music video

The music video for "Officially Missing You" was filmed by American director Paul Hunter. [7]
