Quintanilla III | Tracks = }} "Missing My Baby" is a song released by American singer Selena on her third studio album ''Entre a Mi Mundo'' (1992). It was composed by A.B. Quintanilla III—her brother and principal record producer, whose intention was to showcase Selena's diverse musical abilities. Selena included it on the album to help her cross over into the English-speaking market. Critics praised her emotive enunciation in the song. After Selena was murdered in 1995, a posthumous music video made for VH1 was released to promote the triple box-set ''Anthology'' (1998). "Missing My Baby" is a mid-tempo R&B ballad influenced by urban and soul music. The lyrics describe the love felt by the narrator, who reminisces of rhapsodic events she has shared with her lover. In some parts of the song, the narrator experiences loneliness and anguish because of the absence of her boyfriend. Although never intended to be released as a single, the track peaked at number 22 on the US Rhythmic Top 40 chart in 1995. == Background and development == "Missing My Baby" was written by Selena's brother and the song's principal record producer A.B. Quintanilla III. It was created for Selena's 1992 album ''Entre a Mi Mundo'', to showcase her diverse musical abilities and to add to the album's variety of musical styles, which include Mexican pop and traditional Mexican songs, whereas "Missing My Baby" is in the style of contemporary R&B. After the release of Selena's full-length Spanish albums ''Selena'' (1989) and ''Ven Conmigo'' (1990), which included Tejano and other Mexican pop styles, she decided that her next recording would feature an English-language song.〔 She believed that such a song would convince EMI Records' chairman Charles Koppelman that she was ready to release a crossover album.〔 EMI had wanted her to acquire a larger fan base before launching her crossover career. In spite of this, Selena included the song on ''Entre a Mi Mundo''.〔 Quintanilla III wrote "Missing My Baby" in a week, and three weeks later, in late 1991, it was recorded at Sun Valley, Los Angeles. EMI Latin wanted R&B duo Full Force to perform a remixed version of the recording.〔 Quintanilla III and Selena met with the group at their Brooklyn recording studio, and Full Force agreed to add backing vocals, which they recorded in two days. EMI Latin, the record label Selena belongs to, chose Full Force's version of "Missing My Baby" instead of Selena's solo version of the song.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Missing My Baby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
