Thinking About You (Whitney Houston song)

"Thinking About You" is the fifth single by American singer Whitney Houston. It was written by Kashif and La Forrest "La La" Cope for Houston's debut studio album Whitney Houston (1985), while production was helmed by the former. Initially released as a promotional single on January 11, 1985, by Houston's label Arista Records, the label later released it as a radio-only single to R&B stations and as a vinyl single for American dance clubs in October 1985.

The song wasn't promoted as a single to Top 40 radio, therefore the song never entered the Billboard Hot 100 or the Cashbox Top 100 but was a hit on the R&B charts in both, becoming Houston's fourth consecutive Top 10 on Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart and the Cashbox Black Contemporary Singles chart, peaking at the tenth and eighth positions respectively, while also becoming Houston's first Billboard entry on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. It later appeared as the B-side to Houston's 1986 single, "Greatest Love of All".
