About Think About Me

"Think About Me" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1980. The song was composed by Fleetwood Mac keyboardist Christine McVie. "Think About Me" and "Not That Funny" were the first "Tusk" singles released in their remixed form. The song peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number 24 on Canada's RPM Top 100 Singles chart. Even though "Think About Me" was a Top 20 hit, it was not included in the 1988 album Greatest Hits but was included in the 2002 album The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac played the song for the first time live in over 25 years for their Australian leg of the "On with the Show tour" in Sydney. Christine McVie introduced the song in a more humorous fashion; “It was released as a single, although I don't think it did do terribly well. But we like it.”Canadian indie rock band The New Pornographers recorded a cover version of the song for the 2012 compilation album Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac. The version features backward-sounding guitars and Carl Newman on lead vocals.

All it took was a special look
And I felt I knew you before
I didn't mean to love you
Didn't think it would work out

But I knew we would be together
And I couldn't wait for more
But what can they say
It's not against the law

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Well think about me

I believe that you really want me
But it's not easy, just to give in
So let yourself go and let love begin

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Well think about me

I don't hold you down
Maybe that's why you're around
But if I'm the one you love
Well think about me

Baby, once in a while
Now think about me
Baby, once in a while
Think about me

Baby, once in a while
Don't you think about me
Every, every once in a while
Think about me

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House. more »
