Transcription

Overview

The song was written by Michael Lovesmith and Brian Holland (formerly of the popular songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland). The lyrics are from the viewpoint of a boy talking about how he fell in love with a girl at his school, and how he is always thinking about her.

The song was originally issued as a B-side to the Jackson 5's disco version of the Supremes' "Forever Came Today" in June 1975. That month, the group announced that they would leave Motown for Epic Records, however, they still remained under contract to Motown until March 1976.[2] Jermaine Jackson, the song's second co-lead vocalist, left the group and remained with Motown, with Randy Jackson officially replacing him.

"All I Do Is Think of You" was gaining airplay on urban radios and was issued as a single in October 1975.[1] It peaked at No. 50 on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart.[3] The group later performed the song on shows without Jermaine, including Soul Train and The Mike Douglas Show.

Record World described the song as "a moving love ballad incorporating [the Jackson 5's] distinctive blend and a sitar sound."[4]

Troop version

In 1989, New jack swing/contemporary R&B group Troop released a cover version on their album, Attitude.[5] Produced by Chuckii Booker, their version was released by Atlantic Records and reached number-one on the R&B singles chart on June 30, 1990.[6] It peaked at No. 47 on the Billboard Hot 100.[7]

In 2018, Billboard magazine ranked Troop's version No. 46 on their list of The 100 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time, calling their rendition "near-definitive; with its lush, layered harmonies, gauzy production, and molasses-slow sway, imbuing every lyric with the rose-colored daydreaminess you'd expect from a song with this title and chorus."[8]
