"Thinking of You" is a song by American singer Katy Perry from her 2008 album One of the Boys. Produced by Perry and Butch Walker, it was released on January 12, 2009, as the album’s third single. "Thinking of You" is about someone who doesn’t want to move on after a breakup but has to. They miss their ex while being with someone new. Over time, the song has become a fan favourite.

The song reached number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 27 in the UK. It was the only single from the album that didn’t make the Top 10 in the US. Two music videos were made for the song. The first, released in 2007, shows Perry in two rooms—one black and one white—and was directed by her friend. The second video, released in 2009, is set in the 1940s and shows Perry as a woman who loses her soldier lover (played by Matt Dallas) in World War II.
