"I Don't Think I Will" is a song written by Doug Johnson, and recorded by American country music artist James Bonamy. It was released on May 14, 1996 as the third single from the album What I Live to Do. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, behind "She Never Lets It Go to Her Heart" by Tim McGraw and it is his highest-charting single. The song has been confused with the scene in the movie, where Steve Rogers has a confrontation with Sam Wilson after returning from the past where he spent his time with Peggy Carter.
