After singing in church during her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teenager. Perry signed with Red Hill Records and released her debut studio album Katy Hudson under her birth name in 2001, which was commercially unsuccessful. She moved to Los Angeles the following year to venture into secular music after Red Hill ceased operations and she subsequently began working with producers Glen Ballard, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin. After adopting the stage name 'Katy Perry' and being dropped by The Island Def Jam Music Group and Columbia Records, she signed a recording contract with Capitol Records in April 2007.
Perry rose to fame in 2008 with her second album, One of the Boys, a pop rock record containing the controversial U.S number one song "I Kissed a Girl" and "Hot n Cold". Three subsequent albums have topped the U.S. Billboard 200. The disco-influenced Teenage Dream (2010) spawned five chart-topping U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles–"California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" — a record tying her with Michael Jackson's "Bad". Its follow-up record Prism (2013) was inspired by her divorce, and incorporates pop and dance along with themes of self-reflection, everyday life, and relationships. With the music videos for its chart-topping songs "Roar" and "Dark Horse", Perry became the first artist to have multiple videos reach one billion views on Vevo. Her 2017 electropop album, 'Witness' featured a political subtext and a theme of liberation. Her sixth studio album 'Smile' followed in 2020.
Perry has nine U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and has received various awards, including four Guinness World Records, five Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and a Juno Award. She has been included in the annual Forbes lists of highest-earning women in music from 2011 to 2019. Her estimated net worth as of 2016 is $125 million. Perry is one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 18 million albums and 125 million singles worldwide. In film, she released an autobiographical documentary titled "Katy Perry: Part of Me" in 2012, and voiced Smurfette in the 2011 film The Smurfs and its sequel in 2013. Her Super Bowl halftime show performance is the most watched in history. Perry also began serving as a judge on American Idol in 2018.
Miss You More
Katy Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your face has changed
The lines are sinking in
I pressed play, I should haven't
Congratulations, but do you ever wonder what we could have been? (Wonder what we could have been)
But your mind plays tricks with distance
Always makes things feel so unfinished
I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I saw a balloon floating away
I thought, did someone let go or did they lose it?
So strange you know all my secrets
Please keep them safe
And darling, you know that I'll do the same (you know that I'll do the same)
Though we're no longer in existence
Baby, you'll always be in my orbit
I miss you more than I loved you
I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I miss you more than I loved you
Oh, I do
I miss you more than I loved you
We were a match but not a fit
We were a dream, unrealistic
We didn't lose, we didn't win
(Sometimes I wonder what we could've been)
Oh I miss you more than I loved you
Oh I do
I miss you more than I loved you (I wonder what we could have been)
I miss you more than I loved you
Oh, I do
I miss you more than I loved you
(You'll always be in my orbit)
(You'll always be in my orbit) ohh
(You'll always be in my orbit)
In Katy Perry's "Miss You More," the singer reminisces about a past love that didn't work out. The song starts with her seeing a picture of her former partner and realizing how much their face has changed since they were together. The lyrics suggest that Perry is struggling with memories of the past and wondering what could have been if things had gone differently. The verse "Congratulations, but do you ever wonder what we could have been?" implies that her old lover has moved on and found success, whereas Perry is still stuck dwelling on their past.
The chorus emphasizes just how much Perry misses her former partner. She sings, "I miss you more than I loved you," which suggests that the memories and emotions from their past are more intense for her than any love she once felt. The lines "We were a match but not a fit / We were a dream, unrealistic" give insight into why the relationship ultimately fell apart. Perry describes their love as an unattainable dream, something that they could not make a reality, despite having a strong connection.
The final portion of the song emphasizes the idea that even though they are no longer together, Perry and her old lover will always be connected through their shared memories and experiences. The lyric "Though we're no longer in existence / Baby, you'll always be in my orbit" suggests that even though they have moved on, Perry's former partner will always have a place in her heart.
Overall, "Miss You More" explores the complex nature of love and loss, and the difficulty of moving on from someone who still holds a place in your heart.

My best friend died from a terrible accident yesterday, Katy Perry was his favorite artist. This song reminds me of him so much. “I miss you more than I loved you”. I feel that.

Katy Perry deserved a Grammy award for this album.
@lanhnhusuong8583
almost 4 year later, I still listen to this song. Witness is amazing, I don't know why people hate it, I love this album
@tomj2459
This song has very strong musical movements, transitions and a rythym. Katy executes it perfectly.
@nburre2
This actually is a beautifully written song, very relatable and beautifully performed. Feels so much like “The One That Got Away” pt 2
