“Stay (I Missed You)“ is a song by American singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb. It was released in May 1994 as the lead single from the original movie soundtrack to Reality Bites (1994). The song was written and composed by Loeb herself, while production was handled by Juan Patiño. “Stay“ was originally conceived in 1990, at one point with the intent of selling it to Daryl Hall for a project he was seeking music for. Upon deciding to use the song herself, Loeb’s neighbor and friend, actor Ethan Hawke heard the song and submitted it to Ben Stiller for use in the film he was directing, Reality Bites. The song plays over the film’s closing credits. Musically, “Stay“ is a pop rock song that was also influenced by folk music. It is in the key of Db major. Lyrically, the song deals with a relationship that has recently ended, but the narrator is now regretful.
“Stay“ received positive reviews from most music critics, who praised the lyrical and production side and the song’s commercial potential. Several critics had listed the song in some of the best song lists. “Stay“ ultimately went on to become a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, earning her the distinction of being the first artist to top the US chart before being signed to any record label. The song was commercially successful in several other countries, including Canada, where it also reached number one, and in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. The song’s music video was conceived, produced and directed by Hawke.
After being featured in the film Reality Bites, “Stay (I Missed You)“ entered the US Billboard Hot 100 in early April 1994. The song climbed the charts and eventually went to number one. Because of this, Loeb earned the distinction of being the first artist to top the US charts before being signed to any record label. For over 19 years, Loeb was the only artist to have this distinction, until the achievement was matched in 2013 by American duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with their single “Thrift Shop“. “Stay (I Missed You)“ held the number one position for three weeks, and stayed in the Hot 100 for an overall thirty weeks. It also reached number five on the Adult Contemporary chart, number seven on Modern Rock Tracks and number one on Top 40 Mainstream. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in July 1994 for the shipment of 500,000 copies. “Stay“ ultimately sold 900,000 copies domestically.
The music video, directed by Ethan Hawke and released in 1994, begins with a cat on a chair, then zooms out to Loeb (wearing a forest green dress and tortoiseshell glasses) [24] singing the lyrics while walking around in the empty New York City apartment. No audio, visual or green screen effects were used through very basic and simple video. It has two continuous camera shots of Loeb in an apartment. Very near the end of the music video, the cat (which belonged to Hawke) reappears, this time sitting on a windowsill.
According to VH1 show Pop-Up Video, the video was filmed in just two separate takes.
