I THINK

I THINK shows the dawning realization and internalization of being in love. Igor is actively processing his feelings and wondering about the love interest's perception of him.

I THINK primarily expresses positive emotions like hope and infatuation but hints at aspects of anxiety and obsession that begin to consume Igor as the story progresses.

• "I think I'm falling in love / This time I think it's for real": A direct confession of his deepening feelings and a desire for this love to be genuine. Calls back to EARFQUAKE, which implies this isn't the first time Igor has felt these feelings before, but claims this time is different.
• "How can I tell you?": Expresses the difficulty and anxiety of communicating these strong emotions.
• "Man, I wish you would call me / By your name 'cause I'm sorry": A reference to the film Call Me By Your Name, indicating a desire for a deep, reciprocal, and queer intimacy.
• "I'm your puppet, you are Jim Henson": An early acknowledgment of the power imbalance and his willingness to be controlled by his feelings and the love interest. This line gains more weight later in the album, notably in PUPPET.

• The track has a more upbeat, funk-infused feel compared to EARFQUAKE, reflecting the excitement of falling in love.
• Solange's vocals add a dreamy, ethereal quality, enhancing the feeling of being swept up in romance.
• The driving beat and layered synths create a sense of movement, as if Igor is being carried along by his emotions.
• Again, I THINK uses less electronic and more acoustic-sounding instruments, showing the more heartfelt, true-to-self nature of this song.
