Music video

"Thinking Bout You" is the fifteenth and final track from Ariana Grande's third studio album, Dangerous Woman. It was released through Republic Records on May 20, 2016.

Background

On April 10, 2016, the Dangerous Woman tracklist was updated on iTunes to show five explicit songs on the album. Even if a song contains no profane language (only includes the word hell), it can still be labeled as explicit if it contains references to sexual behaviour.

When Grande revealed the tracklist for Dangerous Woman via Instagram, this song was named "Thinkin Bout You" instead of "Thinking Bout You."

Some fans wanted “Thinking Bout You“ to be performed under the moon at the “Sweetener World Tour” in 2019. However, Ari confirmed on Twitter that she wouldn’t be performing it, calling the song “too sad”.

Lyrics

• Explicit version
• Clean version

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout you
Yeah, I've been missing you
Where the hell are you, oh, when I need you?
I could still hear your voice
I ain't got no choice, cause I'm here all alone
I know I can't wait 'til you get home

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't have you here with me
But at least I have the memory
I try to make it through the night
But I can't control my mind

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you

[Verse 2]
Mmmm
Got these thoughts in my head
Ain't no way to forget
Got me losing my breath
Nobody got me the way that you did
Had my eyes rolling back
Had me arching my back
Now you love me so good
I wish you would hurry up and come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't have you here with me
But at least I have the memory
I try to make it through the night
But I can't control my mind (my mind)

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm 'bout you, baby)
I'm just thinking 'bout you ('bout you I'm)
I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm thinking 'bout you), I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm thinking 'bout you)
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (So you know that I'm 'bout you)


[Bridge]
Baby, I don't want no one, no one else
So hurry, cause I need some, need some, need some help
And I've been waiting patient, patiently (patient, patiently)
Cause I don't have you here with, here with, here with me (here with, here with, here with me)
But at least I have the memory

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you ('bout you)
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (I do)
I'm just thinking 'bout you (baby)
I'm thinking 'bout you (thinking 'bout you), I'm thinking 'bout you (oh yeah)
I'm just thinking 'bout you (thinking 'bout you)
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (oh yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking 'bout you
Yeah, I've been missing you
Where the h*** are you, oh, when I need you?
I could still hear your voice
I ain't got no choice, cause I'm here all alone
I know I can't wait 'til you get home

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't have you here with me
But at least I have the memory
I tried to make it through the night
But I can't control my mind

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you

[Verse 2]
Mmmm
Got these thoughts in my head
Ain't no way to forget
Got me losing my breath
Nobody got me the way that you did
Had my eyes rolling back
Had me arching my back
Now you love me so good
I wish you would hurry up and come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I don't have you here with me
But at least I have the memory
I try to make it through the night
But I can't control my mind (my mind)

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm 'bout you, baby)
I'm just thinking 'bout you ('bout you I'm)
I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm thinking 'bout you), I'm thinking 'bout you (I'm thinking 'bout you)
I'm just thinking 'bout you
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (So you know that I'm 'bout you)


[Bridge]
Baby, I don't want no one, no one else
So hurry, cause I need some, need some, need some help
And I've been waiting patient, patiently (patient, patiently)
Cause I don't have you here with, here with, here with me (here with, here with, here with me)
But at least I have the memory

[Chorus]
I'm just thinking 'bout you ('bout you)
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (I do)
I'm just thinking 'bout you (baby)
I'm thinking 'bout you (thinking 'bout you), I'm thinking 'bout you (oh yeah)
I'm just thinking 'bout you (thinking 'bout you)
I'm thinking 'bout you, I'm thinking 'bout you (oh yeah, yeah)
