The song became quite notorious in the UK due to the lyrical content of the extended version which featured the line "I need you inside me tonight" — this was changed to "I need you beside me tonight" for the radio & video release.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor William Cooper described the song as "irresistibly catchy".[2] The Staffordshire Sentinel commented that the singer is "stirring things up" with her new single "Think of You".[3]

Chart performance

Like "Saturday Night" and its follow-up single "Another Day", "Think of You" was a major hit on the charts in Europe. It was a Top 5 hit in Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Spain. Additionally, the single also reached the Top 10 in Iceland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In the latter, it peaked at number 7 in its third week on the UK Singles Chart on June 11, 1995.[4] On the Eurochart Hot 100, "Think of You" reached number 4. Outside Europe, the song charted in Canada, where it peaked at number 66 and in Zimbabwe, where it hit number 4.

Music video

In the music video for "Think of You", Whigfield plays a director, performing at a movie set. She is dressed in a red suit and her hair is darker than in her previous music videos. She directs and several workers are carrying and placing white pillars and statues around on the set. Sometimes Whigfield sings, while sitting in the director chair, other times she sits on a movie crane. Towards the end, everyone leaves the set, while Whigfield is left alone, singing while she is walking in between the pillars.[5] The video was uploaded to YouTube in 2013. By August 2020, it had more than 1,4 million views.
