Background
Scott calls "What I Miss Most" his nostalgia song. In an interview with Billboard, Scott said "It's a complete tribute to my hometown. The crest for my city is three golden crowns on top of each other, so when I say, “Under three crowns when I'm far away” I'm trying to basically say I'm proud of Hull, where I'm from."[3] On Twitter, Scott supported the statement saying "[What I miss Most is]..a song about missing my hometown of Hull, but I wrote it in a way that it could be about missing anyone or anything!"[4]
