"I Miss You a Little" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist John Michael Montgomery. It was released in February 1997 as the third single from his album What I Do the Best. It peaked at #6 in the United States, and #5 in Canada. This is the only single to date that Montgomery has had a songwriting credit on. The song was written by Montgomery, Richard Fagan and Mike Anthony.
Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it "a classic-sounding country weeper, dripping in mournful steel guitar." He states that the "heart-tugging lyric is accentuated by Csaba Petocz's skilled production." He goes on to say that Montgomery's tone is "quite vulnerable, and it works well on this heartbreak ballad."[1]
The music video was directed by Lou Chanatry.
"I Miss You a Little" debuted at number 67 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the chart week of March 1, 1997.
