Song Information
The song was written and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Much was riding on the single, as it would either prove or disprove detractors of Jackson, who thought she was a fluke and a one-hit-album wonder. As it happened, it became one of Jackson's biggest-selling singles to date, hitting #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip Hop Singles & Tracks charts, and becoming her second number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for four weeks. The song sold over 4 million copies, becoming the biggest-selling song of 1989. Janet was honored with two American Music Awards for Favorite Soul/R&B Single and Favorite Dance Single for "Miss You Much", and was nominated for Favorite Dance Artist. The single also won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Female. The single contains a b-side called "You Need Me"."Miss You Much" can be heard playing in the background of an episode of Tori Spelling's show "So Notorious".
Music Video
The video for "Miss You Much" was directed by Dominic Sena. It is a part of the Rhythm Nation 1814 Film. The black and white video begins with dancers hanging out at a pool hall gossiping about Janet and her boyfriend. Janet enters the room and her dancers look at her. One dancer asks Janet what she has been up to. She calls them nosey, and then demonstrates her love through song and dance. The end of the video cuts out a final dance routine performed with chairs. The chair routine can be found on the Rhythm Nation Compilation CD and DVD.
