Eric Clapton wrote "Miss You" with Greg Phillinganes and Bobby Colomby for August, his tenth solo album, which came out in 1986 on Duck/Warner Bros. That record was billed as hard R&B, and Phil Collins ran most of the show, producing with Clapton's longtime associate Tom Dowd.

Collins also plays drums and percussion on this one and sings alongside Clapton and Phillinganes, who adds keyboards; Nathan East plays bass and Clapton handles the guitar. Then there are the horns: Michael Brecker on sax, Randy Brecker and Jon Faddis on trumpet, and Dave Bargeron on trombone. Phillinganes left his mark elsewhere on August too, since recording "Behind the Mask" was his suggestion.
