Thinking of You (Hanson song)
"Thinking of You" is a pop song written and performed by the American pop-rock band Hanson. It was released as the fourth and final single from their debut studio album, Middle of Nowhere (1997).
The song is a ballad, markedly different in style from the album's more upbeat singles such as "MMMBop" and "Where's the Love." "Thinking of You" showcases the band's vocal harmonies and features a more mature, introspective lyrical theme focused on longing and reminiscing about a past relationship. Zac Hanson plays the piano on this track, a departure from his primary role as drummer.
Released in 1998, "Thinking of You" achieved moderate success, charting in several countries, though it did not reach the same level of commercial success as the album's earlier singles. Music critics noted the song's contrast to the band's bubblegum pop image and praised the brothers' vocal abilities, specifically citing its demonstration of the band's versatility beyond their initial "MMMBop" sound.
Despite not being a major commercial hit, "Thinking of You" remains a notable song in Hanson's discography, appreciated by fans for its sentimental lyrics and melodic arrangement, and it continues to be included in their live performances. The song is also included on various Hanson compilation albums.
