"What I Miss Most" is a song recorded by British singer-songwriter Calum Scott. It was released in May 2018 as the fourth single from Scott's debut studio album, Only Human . The track was inspired by Scott's time spent away from his family and friends. [1] Scott said "I wrote ["What I Miss Most"] in Sweden and is an upbeat song with an optimistic view of my journey so far. It's about how I've gone from a normal Yorkshireman to being thrown into this incredible career but missing home and missing people back home and missing the town and the streets and everything." [2]

Background

Scott calls "What I Miss Most" his nostalgia song. In an interview with Billboard , Scott said "It's a complete tribute to my hometown. The crest for my city is three golden crowns on top of each other, so when I say, “Under three crowns when I'm far away” I'm trying to basically say I'm proud of Hull, where I'm from." [3] On Twitter, Scott supported the statement saying "[What I miss Most is]..a song about missing my hometown of Hull, but I wrote it in a way that it could be about missing anyone or anything!" [4]

Music video

The music video was released on 16 May 2018 on Scott's YouTube channel via Vevo. It was directed by Ozzie Pullin. [5] The video shows the various stages of a man's life from childhood to old age. [6]

As of October 2021, the video has gained over 30 million views.
