"Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" originally started as a chorus. We didn't know where it was going to go, and it sat around for a long time. In the past, we've had a lot of ideas that have stuck around and you just keep singing them and singing them. The idea eventually came about of it as a kind of "done me wrong" soul song. Someone found a similar loop to my drum part and we started rocking out to that, and then I went and jumped on the drums. It really came together once we all settled around the idea of what the song was really about. So much of it is based around the groove and chorus, and the verse was just about the attitude. Once we got the attitude of the song, it was easy.

As for the music video, working with "Weird Al" was kind of the perfect icing on the cake. He's the king of parody – he's known for being the best, and nobody does it better than him. Having him be a part of the video was huge. It just awesome because… he's "Weird Al"! We're fans of him like millions of other people around the world, but to have him be a part of a parody video that we were doing was awesome. He's known for doing such a good job with his videos, and we kind of felt like that was the ultimate "nod" of sorts, like "we did it."
