"Missing Piece" led the way into In Our Own Sweet Time, the third album from Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy, which arrived in 2022, and the single came out through Liberation Music. Joy wrote it himself, and he's described it as a song about the ache of being kept apart from the person you love, which he wraps in a bright, bouncing melody that makes missing someone sound almost like a good time.
It got its first TV airing on Grey's Anatomy, and at the 2021 ARIA Music Awards Annelise Hickey's video took Best Video, while the song itself was up for Song of the Year, Best Pop Release and Best Independent Release. The nominations kept coming in 2022, from the APRA Music Awards and the AIR Awards.
