[2] Work then began on his debut album and "Thinking of Me" was written by Murs, Wayne Hector and Steve Robson.

[4] The song received its first airplay on BBC Radio 1 on 11 October 2010, following an interview with Murs on The Chris Moyles Show live from Darlington Civic Theatre.

[5] Murs' first ever live performance of the song on TV was on the day of the single's release, 21 November 2010, where he made his homecoming appearance on the results show of The X Factor.

Accompanied by a troupe of dancers and a backdrop of street lamps and red phone boxes, the song's lyrics in the middle 8 were ad-libbed by Murs to reference Cheryl Cole, who was still a judge on the show at the time.

Murs revealed in his 2012 autobiography Happy Days that the plan had initially been to make the performance "more Christmas-y" with it being so close to that time of year.
