Although credited to the group, the song was primarily composed by rhythm guitarist, Izzy Stradlin, who also plays lead guitar on it.
[3] In another 1988 interview, Axl Rose confirmed that Stradlin was the song's main writer, although Rose made minor contributions and edits to the lyrics, stating, "There's a few parts of the lyrics that I put in there, and maybe gave it a little more flow, and worded it my way since I was the one singing it."
"[3] Tom Zutaut, an executive at Geffen Records, said in a 2017 interview with LA Weekly that his favorite track from Appetite for Destruction was "Think About You" and that he advocated for the song's inclusion on the album's Side Two.
Zutaut called the song "[the band's] greatest post punk-rock Rolling Stones moment.
"[3] "Think About You" was played very frequently during early Guns N' Roses shows in 1985 and 1986, a decision that Ultimate Classic Rock attributed to the band's lack of other material at the time.
