Reception

Rachel Sonis of Idolator commended "Thinking 'Bout You" for showcasing Lipa's versatility, saying "whether it's dance bangers or poignant slow-burners – this girl can really do it all". She additionally noted that the song shows Lipa's "more soulful side" and named it "a sultry ballad". [4] Rolling Stone 's Sarah Grant thought that the song "reveals a deeper side to her songwriting" while comparing it to "Amy Winehouse spitting her Tanqueray" and viewing the opening line as "indelible". [11] For The Line of Best Fit , Laurence Day viewed the song as a "soulful, acoustic-led ballad" that is "a world away from the pumped-up pop" Lipa previously released. [29] In Coup De Main Magazine, Shahlin Graves thought the song is of a more "leisurely vibe" than the singer's previous work, while Erica Gonzales of Harper's Bazaar stated it "pulls at the heartstrings". [30] [31] In his review for Clash , Robin Murray praised the song for "displaying a tender side to her infectious pop vision". [32]

The staff of DIY stated that "Thinking 'Bout You" sees Lipa turning "the lights down low to get a bit reflective" and named it her "most emotionally charged track yet"; they concluded by saying "you're guaranteed to be thinking about this ballad all day". [10] In his review of Dua Lipa for the same magazine, Alim Kheraj thought the song is one of the album's darkest moments, but also among its clearest due to giving one "just enough" of Lipa at her core. [33] Writing for The Guardian , Caroline Sullivan named it "a scraped-bare everygirl tale of disconsolately hitting the booze and drugs" that "has her accelerating to full throttle". [34] Jamie Milton of NME opined that the song "starts as an acoustic slow burner, but soon reveals itself to be a sharp-witted firecracker". [35] Nylon 's Sydney Gore said "there's no denying that this slow-burner might influence you to smoke up—or, at the very least, light a candle to blow off some steam". [36]

Sebas E. Alonso of Jenesaispop thought that "Thinking 'Bout You" attempts to be too much like Lauryn Hill and Winehouse. [37] Writing for Stereogum , Chris DeVille compared the song to the works of Jhené Aiko, but thought that it would not be what gets Lipa on the pop charts. [38] musicOMH 's Ben Hogwood thought that the song "feels unfinished despite its sentiments". [12] In April 2020, Christopher Rosa of Glamour ranked it as Lipa's ninth worst song, stating that it does not have any problems, it is just not as "emotive or memorable" as other tracks on Dua Lipa. Additionally, he named the song a "raspy acoustic slow jam". [39] "Thinking 'Bout You" spent five weeks on the Belgium Ultratip Flanders chart, peaking at number six, while it spent six weeks on the Ultratip Wallonia chart, reaching number 36. [40] [41]

Music Video

The music video for "Thinking 'Bout You" was directed by Jake Jelicich and premiered on Lipa's YouTube channel on 22 February 2017. [32] It is a split screen visual, nodding to Requiem for a Dream (2000), directed by Darren Aronofsky. [42] One side of the screen shows the singer's full body while the other zooms in on different parts of her body, including her eyes, nails and tattoos. [36] Lipa wears a loose hoodie, simple makeup and gold jewelry, [8] [11] and tosses and turns in a bed. She eventually gets up to hide behind and play with some sheer curtains. [36] [43]
