Background

"Officially Missing You" was written and produced by 7 Aurelius. 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. 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."

Music video

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