Elizabeth Harper is a former drama student from Los Angeles, USA. Harper also pursued a solo career as an indie rock singer-songwriter. She released a studio album Elizabeth Harper in 2004 (2005 in the UK and 2006 in Japan). After the producer Mark Richardson remixed a song, she preferred Richardson’s version to the original, and the two eventually reconvened in Brooklyn. They began fusing Harper’ songs with sampled drumbeats and synthesized instruments and named the collaboration Class Actress. Later, multi-instrumentalist/engineer Scott Rosenthal joined the group.
In 2010, Class Actress released the 5-track EP Journal of Ardency on Chris Taylor’s (of Grizzly Bear) Terrible Records.
In October 2011, the band released the debut album Rapprocher (meaning "to come closer" in French) on Carpark Records. The album received many positive reviews. The single "Weekend" supported the album.

Class Actress Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
Looking for a girl who's going to move your pain around
I might be easy now
But what you gonna do when the secret's out?
I'm trouble every day
You oughtta hear the things that they say
Trouble trouble every day
You know I want it every which way
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
Feel the heat on your beach
Driving in the Porsche you think you're spoiling me
You know I might be easy now
But what you gonna do when the secret's out?
I'm trouble every day
You oughtta hear the things that they say
Trouble trouble every day
You know I want it every which way
Because I'm a lady
I'll just let you wait and think of me
You can see it in a magazine
I hear you calling, let it ring ring ring
I'm trouble trouble every day
You oughtta hear the things that they say
Trouble trouble every day
You know I want it every which way
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me
You're gonna miss me so bad
The lyrics of Class Actress's "Missed" are about a woman who knows she's desirable and can attract any man she wants. She's not afraid to flaunt her beauty and charm, but she's also trouble every day. The opening lines, "You're gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me, you're gonna miss me so bad," suggest that the man she's with will inevitably lose her, and when he does, he'll regret it deeply.
The next few lines suggest that the man is out every night searching for a girl to ease his pain. The woman acknowledges that she might be easy to get now, but what will happen when the secret is out? This could mean that the man will realize she's not as easy to keep as he thought, or that he'll discover something about her that changes the dynamic of their relationship.
The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the idea that the man will miss the woman. The lyrics are assertive and confident, suggesting that the woman knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. She's "trouble every day" and wants "it every which way," indicating that she has a wild and unpredictable side.
Towards the end of the song, the woman notes that she's a lady and will let the man wait and think about her. She knows he sees her in magazines and hears him calling, but she's not giving in easily. The final repetition of the chorus suggests that the man will ultimately lose the woman, and he'll regret it deeply.
Overall, the lyrics of "Missed" are about a confident and assertive woman who knows her worth and demands respect. The song is a warning to any man who takes her for granted, as she won't stick around for long.
