"I Missed Again" is a song from the Phil Collins album, Face Value. This song is the seventh song on the CD and the first song on the second side on the record. This song, like many from the Face Value album, is about Collins' anger and frustration about his first wife leaving him. The original demo was entitled, "I Miss You, Babe" and the lyric was much sadder. He re-wrote the lyric, gave the song a different tempo, and re-titled it "I Missed Again" in an effort to make it funny as opposed to sad, as Collins stated on Classic Albums "Making of Face Value".
The first single off Face Value, it peaked at #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May of 1981. It also reached the top 20 in the UK.
The song was featured in a late 1980s promotional commercial, which featured bloopers, by the National Basketball Association.
