How can I tell you? (Skate) How can I tell you? (Four)
How can I tell you? (Skate) How can I tell you? (Four)
How can I tell you? (Skate) How can I tell you? (Four)

I THINK was written by Nkono Teles & Bibi Mascel & Tyler, The Creator & Solange.
I THINK was produced by Tyler, The Creator.
Tyler, The Creator released I THINK on Fri May 17 2019.
Though the pulsing baseline sounds identical to Daft Punk’s “Harder, Stronger, Faster” that was sampled in Kanye West’s track “Stronger,” the song actually samples an 80’s Nigerian disco record by Bibi Mascel titled “Special Lady.”
On his Instagram story on the day of the release of the album, Tyler shouted out Solange for her contribution to “I THINK.” He also indicated that the duo recorded the project in Lake Como, a very affluent region of Italy in the northern portion of the country.
When referring to his favorite moment on IGOR, Tyler brought up Solange’s ad-libs towards the end of the track.
During the week ending June 1, 2019, “I THINK” debuted and peaked at #51 on the Hot 100.
Yes. Tyler tweeted out an official transcript of the track’s lyrics, as seen below:
On April 22, 2022, “I THINK” was certified platinum by the RIAA.
