The song "Do You Think About Me" by Carrie Underwood is a heartfelt ballad about reminiscing on a past love and wondering if that person still thinks about the narrator as much as she thinks about them. The lyrics describe a memorable September night when the two lovers were together. The narrator recalls how her significant other held her tightly like a warm blanket and they shared kisses that made time stand still. Despite uncertainties in the relationship, the narrator decided to commit to it, while her partner reassured her that they didn't have to. They sought shelter from the rain and thunder, not wanting their love to go to waste. As time went on, the narrator moved away and wrote letters to her past love until there was no more ink. Whenever it rained, she would play a song that they used to sing together, which brought back bittersweet memories. She then met someone new who reminded her of her previous love but was never quite the same. The chorus repeats the question, "Do you think about me like I think about you?" The narrator wonders if her past love still ponders what their relationship could have been like and if they ever think of her when they enjoy a simple moment like drinking coffee on a rainy day. She continues to contemplate if her presence lingers in their mind during thunderstorms, symbolizing the storms they weathered together in the past. The song overall captures the nostalgia and longing for a past love while acknowledging the passage of time and the different paths people may take. It explores the themes of longing, reminiscence, and unanswered questions about whether the other person still thinks of the narrator as much as she thinks of them.
