Rhys Hurd isn’t just dropping a new single—he’s unveiling a piece of his soul. “do you miss me.” is the result of nearly ten years of songwriting, producing, and deep soul-searching, all culminating in a track that feels like a defining moment for his music.
The song isn’t just about lost love or longing—it’s a story of self-doubt, resilience, and rediscovery. After stepping back from his solo music for two years, Rhys took time to reflect on what kind of sound, message, and artistry he wanted to bring to the world.
“do you miss me.” captures the emotions of self-confidence struggles, feeling like you’ve blown your only shot, and the fear of failure. But here’s the twist—the song doesn’t wallow in regret. Instead, it delivers the ultimate message: you can bounce back, reclaim your voice, and chase your dreams no matter how far gone they seem.
Describing his new sonic direction, Rhys sums it up in the most unexpected yet spot-on way:
"If Bon Jovi spent too much time listening to Sabrina Carpenter."
And honestly—That’s exactly what “do you miss me.” sounds like.

The track takes the big, arena-sized guitars and anthemic energy of ‘80s stadium rock, then seamlessly fuses it with the nostalgic, hyper-polished sound of modern 2020s pop. The result is a song that hits like a power ballad, grooves like a synth-pop anthem, and sparkles with indie-pop charm. It pulls inspiration from disco, synthwave, K-pop, and indie-pop, making it the kind of track you can cry to, dance to, or scream-sing into a hairbrush at 2 AM.
“do you miss me.” isn’t just another song—it’s a comeback anthem, a self-reflection, and a massive, emotional pop-rock banger all rolled into one. Rhys Hurd has taken a decade of experiences, failures, and triumphs and poured them into a single track that feels as much about the listener’s journey as his own.
Put it on repeat, turn it up loud, and let it remind you that it’s never too late to find your voice again.
