"Thinking About You" is a 1985 R&B/Soul song by American singer Whitney Houston released on January 11, 1985. It was the second single released from Houston's self-titled debut album Whitney Houston. Even though it was not promoted as a single to Top 40 radio stations it was a top 10 R&B hit. It appeared as the B-side to Houston's 1986 single, "Greatest Love of All".
A music video was not made for "Thinking About You" but Arista released a promotional video for B-side song "Someone for Me" in some countries.
