"All I Do Is Think of You" is a ballad single released by The Jackson 5 as the b-side to the group's single, "Forever Came Today" on the Motown label in 1975, and was the final charted single the group issued as The Jackson 5 before they left Motown for CBS the following year. It was featured on their final Motown album, Moving Violation.

The song was written by Michael Lovesmith and Brian Holland (formerly of the popular songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland). The song is about a boy who's talking about how he's in love with a girl with whom he goes to school and how he's always thinking about her.

Issued as a b-side to the disco version of The Supremes' "Forever Came Today" on the pop charts, airplay was massive on the urban side that the song was charted also eventually peaking at number fifty on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart. The song was performed live on The Mike Douglas Show in 1975. A few months after this release, the Jackson brothers abruptly left Motown - and the song's co-lead singer Jermaine - and signed with CBS' Philadelphia International record label.

Over the years, the song gained cult status as a ballad favorite for Jackson 5 fans and fans of Motown in general.
