"Think of You" is a song recorded by American country music singers Chris Young and Cassadee Pope. It was released to radio on January 25, 2016 as the second single from Young's fifth studio album, I'm Comin' Over (2015).[1]

Background and composition

"Think of You" is a country pop song written in 2014[2] by Chris Young, Corey Crowder, and Josh Hoge. The midtempo ballad chronicles the break-up of a once-great couple and the awkwardness of adjusting to being on your own.[3][4] It was recorded by Young as a vocal duet with Cassadee Pope. Young chose Pope to serve as the female vocalist for the song after hearing her perform at the Stars and Guitars radio show hosted by WKIS 99.9 Kiss Country in Miami, FL.[5] "I was just like, 'I've got to ask her,'" Young revealed to The Boot, "because I love her voice, and she's a phenomenal singer."[2]

The song was first made available to digital retailers and streaming services on October 23, 2015 during the lead-up to the album's release.[6] An accompanying lyric video premiered the same day.[7] It was later selected as the album's second official single, being announced by the singers in a video posted to Young's official Facebook account on December 16, 2015.[8] The song officially impacted country radio on January 25, 2016.

Reception

Critical

Billy Dukes of country music blog Taste of Country praised both singers' vocal performances as well as the equability of the duet, writing that "too often country duets leave one wanting more from the featured artist... but that’s not the case here." He described the song as "relatable, memorable and unforgettable."[3] Jon Freeman of Country Weekly similarly complimented the vocal pairing and declared the song a "clear standout" on the album.[9]
