This song is for the boy who I thought I would marry. Who I loved with every ounce of myself. Until I found out he lied to me for months on end and is already dating someone else. I promise, he will miss me.
Great video symbolizing breakups, heartache, moving on, and how many other people there are out there like you. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong. Some videos can be taken many ways..
Literally, best video to watch going through a breakup. My boyfriend broke up with me on valentine's day, and listening to and watching this everyday makes this a million times easier. :o)
+ohmygoshbby try these two that really made me feel good too. Everybody Plays the Fool by Main Ingredient. And the other song is a country song is Love Done Gone by Billy Currington...you really cant be sad listening to that.
Someone once wrote: 'It is in a woman's very nature to change her mind when you count on it most." .. Sad to say, most people don't really mean it when they promise forever and ever to each other. That guy, like most guys, probably signed his name to houses for her, probably lived on credit cards for her, maybe had to put up with her relatives, had kids with her, and after many years together she says that it's over and to get out. Happens every day.
A song I can listen to that reminds me of my mom. A very toxic relationship that I had to walk away from this year..at the age of 23. Out of her 3 kids I was the last one that held on for so long. As long as alcohol is her number one priority we will never be in a relationship. I miss her everyday. Thank you Andy for always having a song I can listen to in a hard time. Your lyrics mean the world to me. Hopefully one day my mom will realize what’s important before time runs out. I wish the best for her.
I love the meaning of the video and the ideas he has. It's a refreshing feeling to see that people go through the same things, that we're all human, and that we can get stronger.
pizza planet I would but for some reason they (my brother/fight the fear) took the video down and the only other place it can be found is on reverbnation, which also happens to have a block on it. I think this is due to thing getting ugly on youtube when the video was first out. if you search youtube the new vid was apart of a independant movie by judith records. the name of the song is call the "Fire". If you look at the video at reverbnation it's a completely different vid, but with the same name. I will search the web and the comments on here to provide more solid proof.
pizza planet I found this while scrolling through the comments I don't even know this girl but she says the same thing..a year ago. Rebecca Pierce1 year ago He ripped off the entire concept of the video from fight the fear. They submitted this video to an andy grammer contest and he stole their idea. Look up their video "the fire by fight the fear" you will see exactly what I mean. Also Brian Mendicino1 year ago Andy took the inspiration for this video from a band that submitted a tape to him for a contest. UA-cam: Fight The Fear - The Fire Rikuismyboy2 years ago If you guys are going to get upset because both videos have glowsticks, walking down the street, and a concert, then thats just too bad. Fight the Fear has a great song too, but if you think about the concept (Getting fed up with life or the punches life throws at you) and the concept of this video (being brokenhearted and done with fighting a useless battle) then you would stop hating one or both and just enjoy the music. Both are great songs and videos, they just happen to be similar. Lydia Booth2 years agoin reply to Emily M If you look it says that the video was a response to Andy Grammar's Miss Me, and the song was made in 2011, but the music video was shot in July, so he didn't really rip them off...
Hahaha virtual high five 🙋 but my responce is ....pay close attention its one glowstick but the it was so bad (both from the break up and the breaking of the glow stick) that its now folded in half lol.
No, i think he only has one.. I think he has it because he was married and his w8fe was cheating on him, so they divorced.. i think that was what the paper was.
I honestly think the definition of the glow sticks are really beyond words. It might seem funny and stupid . But the simplicity of just picking up a glow stick with everything we had with that person , the hurt , the love , the memories and just all the bad and throwing that in a pile and getting your self worth back was just as easy ... You would wish you had that " celery " looking stick .
Am I the only one that started tearing up near the end? I couldn't even sing along anymore. Emotional reminder of what a friend did to me. Man, people suck. I hope each and every one of you gets to be happy, you all deserve it.
I'm totally relating to and empathizing with the lyrics and emotions of this song. I feel like the heartbroken people in this song. I feel numb, sad, tired, drained, and heartbroken. This music video and the lyrics of this "Miss Me" song by Andy Grammer perfectly capture how I'm feeling right now.
This song is so good. Any Grammer is truly the best at singing meaningful songs. Every lyric means something and its just another way that music is in everyone's life.
I love that the blonde girl in the beginning and the blonde guy are actually really good friends in real life. She's married to one of his best friends! But on another note, really great song!
i love this song. its true. just keep your heart focused on what your dreams are and push aside the worst people in the world. andy grammer is a suporter and he will tell you that you are the best person you can be.
My girlfriend broke up with me today, and I swear to jesus, I had a glowstick in my pocket and I did this, cept for the fact i threw it on the ground after I lit it, but still counts
I think the glow represents how they are not suppressed by someone they thought they loved and how it's better to have your own light than have it dimmed down by working to make a relationship that is destined to fail, work
This song decribes how i feel right. He`s going to regret letting me go. I really thought we were going to get married. Well he wanted to call it quits and be with someone else while we were together. I promise you he will miss me. It`s his loss
I think sometimes we're afraid of being alone so we settle for WHAT IS right now in front of us instead of waiting for WHAT COULD BE down the road and miss out on something that would/should of been AMAZING! I don't believe in the idea that one person completes another like in the movie Jerry Maguire, I do however believe in a serendipitous moment something so unexpected that where and when it happens,its AMAZING and it just feels right because to me timing is everything~So In the end the wait was worth it. Saw a really cool thing the other day while I was at my favorite coffee spot,an older couple must of been in their 80's holding hands made me smile and I thought wow you just don't see that much these days.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont worry all of you fellow Andy Grammer fans, this song will come around and we can honestly say that we found this sond a lon gtime ago.
You seriously doubt my Ex misses me? LMAO He sure does! As if I meant Andy himself, I am way too old for him probably! If you hadn't glazed over the video and missed the general gist of it, many couples splitting up and then you misunderstood my comment, you may have figured that one out without being sarcastically negative! Please try and contain your knee jerk negativity, you may end up a happier person! Namaste
Yhis song is still to this day one of my absolute favorites!! 4 years ago my heart was shattered by a douchebag guy and this song gave me the strength to get through it, now here I am listening to it after so long and just remembering and I'm extremely grateful now ❤❤❤❤
this is the most amazing song ever,i hope she's happy.why do ppl hurt each other so even when u do ur best to mk them happy,i guess u dnt miss wat u hve untill u lose it. i knw ur gonna miss me,goodbye.
Muchas veces nos aferramos a cosas que nos hacen daño y es cuando pedimos luz verde para no decaer! Andy Grammer! Muchos saludos desde Colombia, Soy tu mas fiel admirador! amo tus canciones!
Look at his face while the girl is screaming at him. He's like "Get me out of here". I love this song. Andy Grammer is definitely one of my favorite artists.
...So, I cried. Of course because I can relate and how amazingly well this video was put together but mainly because of the elderly couple. Once I saw his eyes, I lost it.. 'And I know there 'll come a time when I'll look you in the eyes and say "I told you so"' They're gonna miss us. We can only get stronger from here :)
The glowsticks represent the choice to end their relationships & walk away from what they know they don't deserve... The group on the roof represents the fact that even though they feel broken & alone, they're not. Awesome video to go with the song... every single time I watch, it gives me chills. PERFECT representation of the strength you gain from pain, & that as much as you love someone, you should always love yourself more & MOVE ON. Just sayin'.
This is my favorite singing artist (: and this is the best song of his. I swear I feel like crying, if I'm not already, every time I listen to this song... it's just that good
Asian guy: WHAT WHY DID YOU DO THAT HE WOULD BE DELICIOUS. Girl: you can't keep on eating all our dogs like that, I want a pet that i can keep for at least two days without you licking your lips to it. Asian guy: WELL IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT THEN YOU BETTER LEAVE MY CAR AND GET YOUR SHIT FROM MY APARTMENT. Girl: *activates her "i'm single" light
damoron yikimoto I don't mind insensitive jokes as long as they're funny, but that was not. It might have been funnier if you made a joke about him being bad at driving since they were in a car at the moment, but the dog thing was just out of left field.
All those who have done you wrong will. They know they don't deserve your time, so they try to prove themselves wrong. Deep down, they know it to be true. The important thing is to remember that YOU are better than those jerks, and you CAN rise above it. Once they see the love you have for yourself and your pride, they'll have no choice but to realize how much of a fool they are and will miss you terribly. The same thing happened to me. Take my word for it. You are worth missing.
the glowstick means you can not fully shine until you're broken
(if you were wondering)
Game Spark woah... I didn't even realize that (not being sarcastic btw😂)
I guess that message was meant to be glaringly obvious on their part then
Thanks I hadn't got it
oh gosh thats the most beautiful thing ive read all year ...
+Game Spark You really look deep into stuff.
Whoa,thats deep dude
How the heck did this not get onto the radio? This song should have been number 1.
Anna Chaplya IKR
Well not #1
It has before but yea it is a good song
I don't know why Andy does not get the props he DESERVES in the music industry??????!!!!
I LOVE Maroon 5!!! but I like Andy Grammer's songs more!!
adam thompson who is this guy? he is amazing
He's Andy Grammer and is mostly known for his hit song Keep your head up
adam thompson true dat
Nicole Hoyt Who say true dat?
This song is for the boy who I thought I would marry. Who I loved with every ounce of myself.
Until I found out he lied to me for months on end and is already dating someone else.
I promise, he will miss me.
keep telling urself that love.

Great video symbolizing breakups, heartache, moving on, and how many other people there are out there like you. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong. Some videos can be taken many ways..
Oh Andy... Eight years and I still love every song
Literally, best video to watch going through a breakup. My boyfriend broke up with me on valentine's day, and listening to and watching this everyday makes this a million times easier. :o)
You deserve way better. :) he was a total d bag, and you are a stong woman. NOW RUN THIS BITCH!
+ohmygoshbby try these two that really made me feel good too. Everybody Plays the Fool by Main Ingredient. And the other song is a country song is Love Done Gone by Billy Currington...you really cant be sad listening to that.
I know what you are feeling but yes this song helps you a lot
+Melman the Mythran Just because a boy breaks up with a girl doesn't mean he is a bitxh
I feel bad for the old man worse than anyone else in the vid. poor guy. I'd give him a hug.
Celina Cisneros me too
I felt pretty bad for him
were is he?
never mind
Someone once wrote: 'It is in a woman's very nature to change her mind when you count on it most." .. Sad to say, most people don't really mean it when they promise forever and ever to each other. That guy, like most guys, probably signed his name to houses for her, probably lived on credit cards for her, maybe had to put up with her relatives, had kids with her, and after many years together she says that it's over and to get out. Happens every day.
This song is amazing. Like, why doesnt this song have more views??????!!!!
A song I can listen to that reminds me of my mom. A very toxic relationship that I had to walk away from this year..at the age of 23. Out of her 3 kids I was the last one that held on for so long. As long as alcohol is her number one priority we will never be in a relationship. I miss her everyday. Thank you Andy for always having a song I can listen to in a hard time.

Who thinks Andy grammar is the best singer ever?
Me
Me
you
+Charlotte9718 me
I do think Andy Gammer is the best😀😀😀
the one that broke my heart the most is that black old guy who signed his divorce paper
Who would leave Andy Grammer!!!???
+Emily NewtonEXACTLY
lol totally right
I know right
I couldn't even imagine..he is such a charming guy
+James Oertli ikr
Maybe I never thought this but now I wanna to tell someone "as long as you live, you're gonna to miss me".
ikr
i feel the saddest for the old man, cause he just seemed to slowly accept what happened, instead of lashing out ;(
I love the meaning of the video and the ideas he has. It's a refreshing feeling to see that people go through the same things, that we're all human, and that we can get stronger.
To bad it wasn't his idea and the fact that he stole it from my brothers band.
Do you have any proof?
pizza planet I would but for some reason they (my brother/fight the fear) took the video down and the only other place it can be found is on reverbnation, which also happens to have a block on it.

He ripped off the entire concept of the video from fight the fear. They submitted this video to an andy grammer contest and he stole their idea. Look up their video "the fire by fight the fear" you will see exactly what I mean. Also

He was cheating on 2 girls they both left him haha
Mob Rick lol, he was cheatingon 2 girls who were both cheating on him technically then XD
Hahaha virtual high five 🙋 but my responce is ....pay close attention its one glowstick but the it was so bad (both from the break up and the breaking of the glow stick) that its now folded in half lol.
No, i think he only has one.. I think he has it because he was married and his w8fe was cheating on him, so they divorced.. i think that was what the paper was.
Really pay attention

underrated
This song is for my ex-girlfriend who cheated me, She tried to get back together but I denied, She will always miss me and be sorry she screwed up.
+Janik Gaming

+Janik Gaming USe propper "grammer" (Grammar) dude cheated on you!

Am I the only one that started tearing up near the end? I couldn't even sing along anymore. Emotional reminder of what a friend did to me. Man, people suck. I hope each and every one of you gets to be happy, you all deserve it.
This guy should be more known.
I'm totally relating to and empathizing with the lyrics and emotions of this song. I feel like the heartbroken people in this song. I feel numb, sad, tired, drained, and heartbroken. This music video and the lyrics of this "Miss Me" song by Andy Grammer perfectly capture how I'm feeling right now.
wow. amazing song! sent chills through my body! i think i've found a new favorite artist.
The way he says sober, know ya, feeling, believing, falling, warning, and reeling.... Just makes my world.
I love how at the end he gives the blonde a smile but he’s now married to Aijia, the one in the green shirt.
This is one of the songs that should be more popular, because this is part of life when love comes across.
the girl breaking up with andy if from the step up movie series....ironicly her name is andy in the movie
February 15 2019 💙💙
This video is really touching. Love you Andy.
She came back to me now and I hope we never break up again🙂
thank you my friend,Tamar, for showing me this song!
This song is so good. Any Grammer is truly the best at singing meaningful songs. Every lyric means something and its just another way that music is in everyone's life.
I love that the blonde girl in the beginning and the blonde guy are actually really good friends in real life. She's married to one of his best friends! But on another note, really great song!
As long as you live you're going to miss me.
In other news, glowstick business is booming!
i just laughed so hard at this comment holy crap
Ansar K awesome so true
Ansar K haha hell nah
Ansar K haha
Ansar K yep
This song is too underrated 😭💜💜
We like to think so. But really the ones who broke our hearts never cared in the first place.
yes that the truth
Perfect depiction of my life right now. Andy Grammer. Thank you for writing amazing songs.
Drummer should have been playing with glowsticks 😂
13Ravioli totally!!
i love this song. its true. just keep your heart focused on what your dreams are and push aside the worst people in the world. andy grammer is a suporter and he will tell you that you are the best person you can be.
My girlfriend broke up with me today, and I swear to jesus, I had a glowstick in my pocket and I did this, cept for the fact i threw it on the ground after I lit it, but still counts
True
ReveralUS did you two ever get back together?
This deserves at least 5-8 million views...Andy Grammer is a Great Artist
He came to my college (UCO) back in August 2015 and he's really good in concert!
He was also good in Del Mar at the fair!
My favorite singer😍 2019 it is
The older man at the end broke my heart 😭
That voice is AMAZING!!!! I love it!!!💋❤👌
A person in the background at The party had 2 glow sticks, tough day.
I just laughed so hard lmao
This is my channel name That's when you cheat on someone and they both figure out at the same time
not two just folded around his finger
This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. I
I do miss her...
I think the glow represents how they are not suppressed by someone they thought they loved and how it's better to have your own light than have it dimmed down by working to make a relationship that is destined to fail, work
This is an amazingly well written video
I love the idea of using glow sticks to show you can't truly shine until you've been broken. Clever. Love this song!
This song decribes how i feel right. He`s going to regret letting me go. I really thought we were going to get married. Well he wanted to call it quits and be with someone else while we were together. I promise you he will miss me. It`s his loss
Who here keeps cutting onions intensively and slowly to make my eyes water.
Or is it just me crying to this.
😭
2017 and still listening to this !!!!
i don't understand how this doesn't have more views. i've listened to this for a week straight now.
this makes me cry everytime😢
I think sometimes we're afraid of being alone so we settle for WHAT IS right now in front of us instead of waiting for WHAT COULD BE down the road and miss out on something that would/should of been AMAZING!
I don't believe in the idea that one person completes another like in the movie Jerry Maguire, I do however believe in a serendipitous moment something so unexpected that where and when it happens,its AMAZING and it just feels right because to me timing is everything~So In the end the wait was worth it.
Saw a really cool thing the other day while I was at my favorite coffee spot,an older couple must of been in their 80's holding hands made me smile and I thought wow you just don't see that much these days.
seeing the dude at the end made me cry honestly..
but what did that lady make him sign?
He was selling his business so it was like he broke up with it
Eulani Browne , divorce papers
Thank you Andy Grammer
The more I watch his videos the more he looks like an old Drake bell which idk how I feel about
BAHAHAHA!
Omg he does
I was just turned down by this girl at a dance that I met yesterday...and my friend suggested I listen to this song. I'm feeling SO much better now!

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont worry all of you fellow Andy Grammer fans, this song will come around and we can honestly say that we found this sond a lon gtime ago.
You remind me of Train. Great song great video.
Good song to listen to after a break up

seriously doubt that
+FunkyChicken251 Hahahahaha
You seriously doubt my Ex misses me? LMAO He sure does! As if I meant Andy himself, I am way too old for him probably! If you hadn't glazed over the video and missed the general gist of it, many couples splitting up and then you misunderstood my comment, you may have figured that one out without being sarcastically negative! Please try and contain your knee jerk negativity, you may end up a happier person!
Namaste
Yhis song is still to this day one of my absolute favorites!!
4 years ago my heart was shattered by a douchebag guy and this song gave me the strength to get through it, now here I am listening to it after so long and just remembering and I'm extremely grateful now ❤❤❤❤

All these couples in a happy relationship: Sorry babe, I forgot to grab my glow stick in case we decide to break up today.

I like this song only because Emily (Foxler) Baldoni is in it.
This is the loveliest thing I've read all week.
Ok.... can i borrow one of those glow sticks? i'll throw it at my ex.... :
omg yes lol that's a great use of the glowstick xD
chase Shelton
Muchas veces nos aferramos a cosas que nos hacen daño y es cuando pedimos luz verde para no decaer! Andy Grammer! Muchos saludos desde Colombia, Soy tu mas fiel admirador! amo tus canciones!
He's going to miss me. Haha, jokes on him
One of my favorite songs! And I got to be at the video shoot! It was so much fun!
I swear to god... if any guy cheated on me, i'd hit him witht that glow stick!
Look at his face while the girl is screaming at him. He's like "Get me out of here". I love this song. Andy Grammer is definitely one of my favorite artists.
Who is listening to this in 2017? :) :)
Benan John me
and me! in 2018!
...So, I cried. Of course because I can relate and how amazingly well this video was put together but mainly because of the elderly couple. Once I saw his eyes, I lost it..
'And I know there 'll come a time when I'll look you in the eyes and say "I told you so"'
They're gonna miss us. We can only get stronger from here :)
thats andy from step up the streets?
why isn't this guy more popular?? video alone deserves more views than this..and i think almost everyone can relate the words somehow..
Where can I get one of those huge glow sticks?
Dollar Store...
The glowsticks represent the choice to end their relationships & walk away from what they know they don't deserve... The group on the roof represents the fact that even though they feel broken & alone, they're not. Awesome video to go with the song... every single time I watch, it gives me chills. PERFECT representation of the strength you gain from pain, & that as much as you love someone, you should always love yourself more & MOVE ON. Just sayin'.
some girl had 2 sticks WTF happens poor chick
Lol I just noticed that! lolololol
This is my favorite singing artist (: and this is the best song of his. I swear I feel like crying, if I'm not already, every time I listen to this song... it's just that good
It took 2 years to make this music video
Really where did you hear that?
The date on youtube
Felipe the legend
Kylie_ 536 Take this L bro
You know those songs that give you chills because they are so good! This is one of those songs!
All my exes broke up with me for other girls. I don't think they'll miss me
Tori Abucewicz You'll find true love x
They'll miss you one day or another they'll think about you and you'll already have your true love
They sure will when they realize they didn't choose the right girl!!
This song is honestly the most helpful during tough relationship problems.
Anyone else see Ando from Heroes?
Juce YES
ya and my brother thought that i thought it was him just cause he was asian
Save the cheerleader
Save the world
yer
Yasss I was exited to see him
"miss me....miss me...".....XD am i the only one humming this song like every single day? He has an awesome voice!
Asian guy: WHAT WHY DID YOU DO THAT HE WOULD BE DELICIOUS.
Girl: you can't keep on eating all our dogs like that, I want a pet that i can keep for at least two days without you licking your lips to it.
Asian guy: WELL IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT THEN YOU BETTER LEAVE MY CAR AND GET YOUR SHIT FROM MY APARTMENT.
Girl: *activates her "i'm single" light
ok i don't know if your being a disrespectful racist douche or if this is what you think they said cause thats not what they said
Matt Black LOL you have to admit that it's funny
Haha! Omg xD
Lmao you're too funnie!
damoron yikimoto I don't mind insensitive jokes as long as they're funny, but that was not. It might have been funnier if you made a joke about him being bad at driving since they were in a car at the moment, but the dog thing was just out of left field.
All those who have done you wrong will. They know they don't deserve your time, so they try to prove themselves wrong. Deep down, they know it to be true. The important thing is to remember that YOU are better than those jerks, and you CAN rise above it. Once they see the love you have for yourself and your pride, they'll have no choice but to realize how much of a fool they are and will miss you terribly. The same thing happened to me. Take my word for it. You are worth missing.
