“Think Of You” pays hommage to Ibeyi’s father, Cuban percussionist Anga Díaz, who died in 2006, and to their friend Parisian beatmaker Kid Atlaas, who passed away in 2014.
The song features samples from both of them: “Round Midnight” by Angá Diaz and “Winter Is Coming” by Kid Atlaas.

Let's remember with rhythm our loved ones that are gone
All the joy when we're singing that no spell can destroy

We walk on rhythm and we think of you
Feeling our union and we think of you
Receive your spirit and we think of you

If we sing they may come guiding all of our steps
You're living through us Baba we're singing for you

We hear laughter and we think of you
We walk on rhythm and we think of you
Feeling our union and we think of you
Receive your spirit and we think of you
