Not Thinkin' Bout You

"Not Thinkin' Bout You" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Ruel, released on 2 November 2018, as the fourth single from Ruel's debut extended play, Ready (2018).

Written by Ruel alongside Symbolyc One, M-Phazes, Romans and Tobias Jesso Jr., the track was primarily produced by M-Phazes, with additional production from Symbolyc One and Taka Perry.

Two additional versions of "Not Thinkin' Bout You" were later released—a remix featuring American rapper and singer GoldLink, and an acoustic version featuring Australian rapper and record producer Billy Davis.

Background

Ruel says the song is about getting over a breakup and denial; saying you're not thinking about someone, when you obviously are.
