Background
In contrast to the Selecter's two previous singles, "On My Radio" and "Three Minute Hero", "Missing Words" is a downbeat song about heartbreak issued as the 2 Tone Records ska revival began to fade.{{cite book|author=Peter Buckley|title=The Rough Guide to Rock|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7ctjc6UWCm4C&pg=PT923|year=2003|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=978-1-84353-105-0|pages=923–}}
