"I Miss You" is a R&B/Hip hop song written by LeToya Luckett, Webbie, Diana Ross, Mouse and Mannie Fresh for Webbie's second studio album, "Savage Life 2" (2008). The song samples Diana Ross' "Missing You", and was originally going to feature singer Kelis, but she was replaced for unknown reasons. While the song is about Webbie being on the road and looking forward to returning home to his woman, it is dedicated to Houston rappers that recently have passed away, mainly for UGK member Pimp C. The song was leaked to the internet on February 5, 2008 and was officially released (for commercial purposes) on March 10, 2008.
