"Jerk" (also known as "Worth Nothing" and "Miss You") is a song by American singer-songwriter Oliver Tree, originally released on July 17, 2020 through Atlantic Records, as part of his debut studio album, Ugly Is Beautiful. The rock song was written by Oliver Tree, alongside the song's producers, Marshmello and David Pramik. Upon release, the song largely stood out to music critics reviewing the album. With attention given to its vocal style, Pitchfork writer Cat Zhang identified "congested groan haunt[ings]" of Billie Joe Armstrong, while NME Ben Jolly described the song as "an anti-bullying anthem-in-waiting". Tree sings about his experiences of being an outcast and eventually realizes that his hatred for jerks is "a double-edged sword".
The song has two notable remixes. It was first remixed by Southstar as "Miss You" in 2022, before another remix of the same name was released as a single by both Oliver Tree and Robin Schulz, as a bonus track for the former's third studio album, Alone in a Crowd (2023). The Schulz remix found success, peaking at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping charts in Lithuania, and the Netherlands, though also garnered some controversy in plagiarism allegations. After Oliver Tree's death in June 2026, the remix re-entered the Billboard US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, peaking at number 2.

Southstar remix
German DJ and producer Southstar released a remix of the song on May 9, 2022, titled "Miss You". Due to Southstar using Tree's vocals without permission, it was later re-released as a single on July 30, 2022 with re-recorded vocals sung by Julian Perretta, through the B1 Recordings label. A "sped-up version" of the song was released on October 12, 2022. It debuted at number 88 in Germany and went on to reach the top 10 by October, as well as the top 40 in Austria, Ireland, Lithuania and Switzerland.

Robin Schulz and Oliver Tree remix
Another remix of the song was released on August 5, 2022, by German DJ Robin Schulz, credited to both Schulz and Oliver Tree. The remix peaked at number 1 on the UK Dance Singles and the national charts of Lithuania and the Netherlands. It also reached the top 10 in Australia, Finland, Ireland, Mexico, Norway and other countries. It reached number 4 on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart published by Billboard, as well as number 84 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The release sparked controversy, with Schulz being accused of releasing an almost identical song to Southstar's remix with few alterations, with Der Spiegel claiming that the songs are in the same key and use very similar arrangements. Several artists, including Bausa, Prinz Pi and Yung Hurn, spoke out against Schulz, urging fans to stream the original by Southstar instead. In response to the backlash, Schulz's manager Stefan Dabruck issued a statement saying that the confusion around "Miss You" was "intentional" and that Schulz was hoping for a remix with Southstar prior to the release. A spokesperson from Atlantic Records claimed that the Robin Schulz version is the "definitive version" of the remix, and that Southstar remixed "Jerk" without permission, using re-recorded vocals to prevent Oliver Tree and his label from receiving royalties.
