7 марта 1981 года вышел сингл "I Missed Again" Фила Коллинза (С песней "I'm Not Moving" на стороне B).
Песня I Missed Again, как и многие другие из альбома "Face Value", повествует об эмоциях, связанных с разводом Фила с первой женой. И первый вариант текста был достаточно грустным. Но в последствие он перезаписал песню, придав ей уже юмористический оттенок. Соло на саксофоне сыграл британский джазовый саксофонист Ронни Скотт. Остальная духовая часть была исполнена музыкантами "The Phenix Horns " - Доном Майраком, Луи Сэттерфилдом, Рэмли Дэвисом и Майклом Харрисом, которые отметились во многих хитах группы "Earth, Wind & Fire".

Текст песни:
So you finally came right out and said it girl
What took you so long
It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
I think about it from time to time
When I'm lonely and on my own
I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone
I'm waiting in line
Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Well it feels like something you want so bad
Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had
You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch
And I feel it coming at me
I can feel it coming at me
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again oh
Or did I miss again
I think I missed again
I'm waiting in line,
But would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again...
