What it is
"Thinkin Bout You" is an R&B ballad by Frank Ocean, written with Shea Taylor and produced by the pair, released in April 2012 as the lead single from his debut album, Channel Orange. It is a melancholy song about a relationship just out of reach, dealing with longing, regret and heartbreak, sung largely in Ocean's falsetto.
