Background and release

The band released a new version of the track on November 24, 2023, featuring Nick Santino of Beach Weather.^[3] O'Callaghan spoke about the collaboration stating, "It's not often that I get to hear someone else sing on a tune of ours. It's even less frequent to hear someone I've known for 17 years on that same tune. I'm forever a fan of Nick and his voice and now it makes it 50% less weird to listen to the thoughts I have."^[3]

Composition

"Towards the back half of the record I wanted to create songs that went through the different stages I've experienced while falling in love [...] 'Thoughts' was me trying to find reasons why I wasn't falling love but not being able to find a single good one."^[4]

Critical reception

Amit Vaidya of Rolling Stone India stated that, "Beach Weather add a special ingredient to the new edition that elevates an already good song by The Maine into a very much more commercial venture." She also added, "This is perfect synergy and here's hoping their work together helps the song crack the Top 40 and become a global hit for both deserving bands."^[2] Adam Grundy of Chorus.fm stated that the track, "re-captures that atmospheric spirit of Lovely Little Lonely, and highlights the band's ability to tell a story and connect with their audience."^[5] The song has surpassed over a million streams on Spotify.^[3]
