About this song
"Thinkin Bout You" is the second track on Frank Ocean's 2012 debut studio album channel ORANGE and was released as the album's lead single on April 17, 2012. Ocean first wrote it for Bridget Kelly, but after his reference track leaked, he recorded a higher-quality version and released it himself. The song was performed at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards and the season 38 premiere of Saturday Night Live, and it was nominated for Record of the Year at the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards in 2013.
What it's about
