The song was written by Adams and Eliot Kennedy during the production of On a Day Like Today. Adams initially wanted to perform the song as a duet with Sheryl Crow, but she did not respond to his request. He then unexpectedly met Melanie C in a hotel elevator in Los Angeles and asked her to appear on the track. Adams had previously met Melanie C on the British music chart television show Top of the Pops during the Spice Girls’ performance of their 1996 hit Wannabe.

When You’re Gone is a mid-tempo ballad with a simple but effective melody. The lyrics express the feelings of loneliness and longing experienced by someone who has lost their loved one. The song features a guitar solo by Adams, and the vocals of Adams and Melanie C blend well together.

When You’re Gone received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the song’s catchy melody and emotional lyrics, while others found it to be overly sentimental and clichéd. However, the song was a commercial success, selling over two million copies worldwide.

The music video for When You’re Gone was directed by Marcus Nispel and filmed in New York City. The video features Adams and Melanie C performing the song in various locations throughout the city, including Times Square and Central Park. The video also features scenes of a couple in love, interspersed with shots of the empty spaces left behind by their absence.
