Releases New Song

‘Missing Piece‘

With Video

Much-loved Melbourne singer-songwriter Vance Joy returns with his rousing new single, ‘Missing Piece’.

‘Missing Piece’ is the first taste of new music from Vance Joy in three years, and follows on from his recent collaboration with fellow superstars Benny Blanco and Marshmello on ‘You’. Written virtually during a COVID lockdown with Joel Little (Taylor Swift, Khalid, Lorde), ‘Missing Piece’ was inspired by people all over the globe being separated from their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a song for our times.

“Missing Piece is a song about being separated from someone you love. It can be tough but when what you have is good you know that these separations are just small stuff; you’re both holding the line. It’s about the stillness you find when you are together.

“I wrote it with Joel Little on a zoom call. I’m a big fan of his great songwriting and production. I think we tapped into something that’s relatable given so many people around the world have been separated recently due to restricted travel.”

‘Missing Piece’ arrives with a charming, playful video from Melbourne based director Annelise Hickey and sees Vance Joy’s love going to extreme lengths to deliver him his forgotten lunch.

He has played festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Splendour in the Grass and also toured stadiums around the world in direct support of pop powerhouses Taylor Swift and P!NK.
