"Think It Over" is a song by the American new wave band The Cars, appearing on their fourth studio album, Shake It Up. It was written by Ric Ocasek.
"Think It Over" first saw release on the 1981 album Shake It Up, but following the release of the album, the song was released as a single in Britain and Australia. Backed with "I'm Not the One" (which later became a hit in its own right) the single did not make a dent in the charts. The single was not released in America, as the track "Victim of Love" (also from Shake It Up) received single release instead.
AllMusic critic Greg Prato cited the track as a highlight from Shake It Up, and described the track as "almost entirely synth-oriented" and called it one of the "many lesser-known album tracks [on Shake It Up that] prove[d] to be [a] highlight[.]"
