When You're Gone - Bryan Adams - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Bryan Adams’ “When You’re Gone,” featuring Melanie C, dropped on November 30, 1998, as the second single from the album On a Day Like Today. Written by Bryan Adams and Eliot Kennedy, the song mixes pop-rock with a catchy, melancholy hook about missing someone who’s left a void. “When You’re Gone” peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and spent over 15 weeks in the Top 40. It also hit number 4 in Australia and earned platinum certification there. The duet marked Melanie C’s first release outside of the Spice Girls and gave the song cross-genre appeal. Its music video, directed by Marcus Nispel, features Bryan Adams and Melanie C in a nearly empty house—visually capturing the loneliness the lyrics describe. Though not a chart-topper in the U.S., it became one of Bryan Adams’ most requested live songs. During concerts, he often performs “When You’re Gone” solo or with guest singers, proving its lasting emotional pull.
