"Don't Miss You" is a song performed by Australian singer-songwriter, Ricki-Lee Coulter. Co-written by Coulter, Nikki Gregoff and Paul Weinber^[1] the song serves as the lead single from her unreleased third studio album, Hear No, See No, Speak No. It was released both physically and digitally on 31 July 2009.

Background

"Don't Miss You" is a break up anthem that Coulter says expresses her feelings about her ex husband, Jamie Babbington. It is the first song Coulter wrote in New York.^[2] She explained, "Well you’ve got to put yourself in my position where I was in a relationship for seven years, the only relationship I’d ever known and obviously you don’t write a song with lyrics like that if everything was happy as. It was very painful and humiliating going through the break up in front of the whole country. For me, that song is not about being bitter or anything. That song is about representing me turning the corner and finding my feet again."^[2]

While Coulter's previous singles have been infused with a distinctly R&B flavour, "Don't Miss You" incorporates a blend of pop, rock and dance. She explained, "It’s a sound that just naturally developed while I was overseas. The stuff I was writing really lent itself to this fusion of pop and rock and electro and I think it suits my voice.^[2]

Promotion

Following the physical release of "Don't Miss You", Coulter did instore appearances at Westfield Shopping Centres in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.^[3]
