"Week Without You" is a song by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was released on September 21, 2017, through RCA Records, as the second promotional single from Cyrus' sixth studio album, Younger Now.[1] As of September 2017, the song has moved around 3,400 digital copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.[2]
Cyrus stated in a press release: "This writing process has been a really different experience because I've never put out an album this way. People have been asking me, 'is this like a re-introduction of yourself?' But it's not that at all. Actually, it's more like, I am this person who embraces all my past selves. This album is the most me for right now that I can be."[3]
Tatiana Cirisano of Billboard described the song as "a twangy, country-tinged break-up waiting to happen".[4] Ross McNeilage of MTV News called the song a "a country kiss-off to an unsatisfying lover", and felt it is "full-out country in its production, compared to the airy fun vibes of 'Malibu' and 'Younger Now', as Miley sings of leaving over a familiar-sounding guitar melody".[5] Deepa Lakshmin of the same publication opined that the song "takes the opposite approach" of "Malibu", as it "is basically one giant breakup fantasy".[6] Chris Thomas of Out called it a "twangy, country song", and felt it would make listeners "strumming their imaginary guitar on their fire escape while they cry and chainsmoke".[7] Luke Britton of NME regarded the song as "another country-tinged, retro affair" that "concerns a break-up".[8]
