A music video for the song directed by Dominic Sena was produced as part of the Rhythm Nation 1814 film, which aired as a 30 minute special on MTV prior to the album's release. The video for "Miss You Much" serves as the opening segment of the film and is followed by videos for two other songs from the album, "The Knowledge" and the title track "Rhythm Nation", to form a complete narrative. Its inclusion in Rhythm Nation 1814 made it part of one of the largest projects to have ever been attempted by A&M, with a budget of $1.6 million for the entire film. As with the other two components of the film, "Miss You Much" is shot entirely in black and white. Choreographed by Jackson, Anthony Thomas and Terry Bixler, the video features a complex dance routine, culminating with a sequence where Jackson and her back up dancers use chairs as props in conjunction with their performance. Since the video's release, numerous artists have taken inspiration from or replicated the chair routine in their own videos and live performances, including Britney Spears, Usher, Backstreet Boys, NSYNC and Tinashe.

After three weeks, as "Miss You Much" entered the top ten of Billboard Hot 100, music industry prognosticators theorized that the song would become Jackson's second number one song on the Hot 100. However, the song started facing competition from fellow singer Madonna's single " Cherish ", which also moved into the top five the same week. The popular media pitted the two women against each other and tried to create rivalry between them. The song eventually topped on October 7, 1989, the same week "Cherish" peaked at number two.
