"My World Is Empty Without You" is a 1965 song recorded and released as a single by the Supremes for the Motown label.
Written and produced by Motown's main production team of Holland–Dozier–Holland, the song's fast tempo accompanies a somber lyric which delves into the feelings of depression which can set in after a breakup.
The group performed the song on the CBS hit variety program The Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, February 20, 1966.
[3] Cash Box described it as a "throbbing, rhythmic soulful tearjerker about a love-sick girl who spends her days carrying the torch for her ex-boyfriend".
[4] In the view of pop historian Andrew Grant Jackson, the Rolling Stones' later song "Paint It Black" bears a strong resemblance to "My World Is Empty Without You".
