"Miss Me So Bad" is a song performed by the Puerto Rican-American band Son by Four. It was released as the lead single for his third studio album and debut English-language album Purest of Pain (2000). It was written by Diane Warren and produced by Ric Wake with the Spanish version being composed by Omar Alfanno.[1] Richard Torres of Newsday unfavorably called it a "Backstreet Boys reject".[2] RS Murthi writing a negative review album stated: "Such things as You Are Beautiful, Miss Me So Bad and Purest Of Pain will probably make you realise how harshly you had judged someone like Barry Manilow - compared to his dribble, this really sounds quite soulless".[3] The Spanish version, "Cuando Seas Mia", served as the main theme for the telenovela of the same title.[4]
