Background
"Officially Missing You" was written and produced by 7 Aurelius. A melancholic lament that is built around an acoustic guitar, it marked a departure for Aurelius who was primarily known for his hip hop productions up to then.{{cite magazine|first=Jeff|last=Lorez|title=Tamia Still Looks For Longevity|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dxEEAAAAMBAJ|date=July 26, 2003|access-date=June 19, 2020}} In an interview with Billboard remarked that she was initially nervous about working with him, saying: "It was different than what I thought he was going to bring. But when we met in the studio, we instantly clicked. The song was very bare — just a guitar and a click track. That's the best way to record, because you can really put emotion in there."
