Think foi lançada como single em 2 de maio de 1968, extraída do álbum *Aretha Now*.
A canção foi coescrita por Aretha Franklin e seu então marido, Ted White.
O single alcançou a posição nº 7 na Billboard Hot 100 e liderou a parada Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles, tornando‑se o sexto nº 1 de Franklin nessa lista.
A versão mais famosa de *Think* foi apresentada por Aretha no filme *The Blues Brothers* (1980), onde ela interpreta a dona do diner, Sra. Murphy.
Franklin regravou a música para a trilha sonora de *The Blues Brothers* e novamente para o álbum *Through the Storm* (1989), com novos arranjos de Arif Mardin.
