"Missing You"
Vocals, Vocal Production: Shaun Zizi
Guitars, Vocals, Mixing and Mastering: Bryan Underwood
In the words of Shaun Zizi: "This is our favorite song to date. It's really emotional and talks about something we've all been through. Losing a loved one hurts all the same, no matter how they're lost. We hope "Missing You" could help ease someone's pain in their time of need and let them know that they're not alone."
LONG STORY SHORT: King of Cups' "Missing You," is a pop-punk gem that immediately grabs your attention with a drum roll and energetic guitar riff. The song showcases the band's knack for crafting melodic vocal lines that seamlessly blend with more direct, upfront backup vocals. The chorus follows the typical pop-punk formula, complete with the familiar vocal timbre, but it's the emotionally charged lyrics that set this track apart. Tackling the heart-wrenching theme of losing a loved one, the song manages to deliver a catchy pop-punk melody while dealing with profound subject matter. King of Cups' use of harmonies is noteworthy, adding depth to the track. The honesty and relatability of the lyrics, particularly in the chorus that mourns, "I'm still thinking of you/After all of these years now/I'm still thinking of you/I wish I could bring you back to me/I miss you/Yeah, I miss you," make this song a warm, heartfelt, yet undeniably catchy pop-punk bop.
