“I’ve Been Thinking About You” is a smooth and infectious dance-pop song by British-American band Londonbeat, released in August 1990 with “9AM” on the B-side as the lead single from their second studio album, In the Blood. Written by band members Jimmy Chambers, George Chandler, Jimmy Helms, and William Henshall (credited as Willy M.), the track became Londonbeat’s most successful song, propelling them to international stardom.
The lyrics express longing and romantic devotion, with the narrator confessing their deep, ongoing thoughts about a loved one. The track is a blend of dance-pop, R&B, and Eurodance, featuring a pulsating beat, a groovy bassline, and soulful vocal harmonies. The band’s three vocalists deliver rich, layered performances, with Jimmy Helms’ lead vocals standing out for their smooth and emotive quality.
“I’ve Been Thinking About You” was a commercial smash, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States and topping charts in more than a dozen countries, including Germany, Australia, and Sweden. It also reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, behind Maria McKee’s “Show Me Heaven”.
