"Think I'm in Love with You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton. It was first released on September 8, 2023 as a promotional single from his fifth studio album Higher (2023), before being released as the album's second single on February 12, 2024.
The song includes elements of blues,[1] [2] electric guitar,[3] slow and "laid-back" grooving rhythm,[4] and a bassline described as "tight" and "burbling".[5] Lyrically, Chris Stapleton confesses his love for a woman and devotion toward her, emphasizing the power she holds over him. The bridge features a violin section that "gestures in the general direction of '70s soul", while Stapleton repeats the lyrics from the chorus.
Maxim Mower of Holler commented the song "feels cut from the same sonic cloth" as Stapleton's song "White Horse", "but with a welcome boost of swagger and playfulness introduced." Tom Breihan of Stereogum, describing the song as "downright funky", stated "This doesn't really sound like country music at all, and Stapleton's got the voice to pull it off." Mary Claire Crabtree of Whiskey Riff wrote "The vocals are the focal point of this single, highlighting that he is more than an outlaw singer that can wail some powerful notes. The softer side of Stapleton on this track highlights his vocal control and the blend created between melodies and vocals. But make no mistake, he picks his spots to let it rip."
Chris Stapleton and singer Dua Lipa performed a duet of the song at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards. A recording of their performance was released to streaming services on May 20, 2024.[6]
