Think About Us: The Question You Ask an Ex on the Dance Floor
"Think About Us" is built around one question repeated until it becomes a hook: when he is with another woman, does any part of him return to the relationship he left behind? Sonny Fodera and D.O.D are both established names in UK house, and Poppy Baskcomb has spent the last few years lending pop vocals to dance productions in a similar lane. The collaboration arrives in early 2026 as a short, single-idea club track, the kind of record engineered to land in peak-time sets while still working as a heartbreak song on headphones.
The lyric is unusually compact. There is no verse-chorus contrast in the conventional sense, just two situational sketches that alternate with the title phrase. In the first, the scene is public: bodies on a dance floor, his hands on someone else, the moment just before something happens ("Now you ready and she on you"). In the second, the scene jumps to the bedroom afterwards, clothes on the floor, the two of them lying together. Both are images the narrator should not be able to see, which is partly the point. She is picturing them in detail, and she wants him to know she is picturing them.
What makes the song more than a simple jealousy track is the specific shape of the question. She does not ask whether he misses her, or regrets the breakup, or wants to come back. She asks whether she intrudes on his pleasure, whether memory contaminates the moment he is supposedly enjoying with someone else. The line "Am I playing in your head" is the most revealing in the song, because it admits the fantasy underneath the question: she wants to be the unwanted thought that ruins his night. That is a more honest, less flattering desire than wanting reconciliation, and the track does not dress it up.
The repetition of "us, us" between sections functions less as a lyric than as a percussive motif, the word reduced to a syllable the producers can chop and loop. In a house record this is structural; the vocal becomes another rhythmic element, and the emotional weight of the pronoun gets sanded down through sheer recurrence. It is also fitting for the subject, because "us" is exactly what no longer exists. Saying it over and over is what someone does when they cannot quite accept that.
A club song about being the one not in the room
Dance music has a long tradition of pairing euphoric production with lyrics about loneliness, longing, or being left. "Think About Us" sits squarely in that lineage. The dance floor in the lyric is not the narrator's; it is his, and she is imagining it from somewhere else. The song's energy works as a kind of inversion: the listener gets to move to a track whose speaker is stuck replaying scenes she was not present for. That contradiction is what gives the record its pull beyond the hook.
There is also a contemporary tone to the writing. The bluntness of "hands up on her body" and "clothes on the floor" is closer to the directness of recent pop and R&B than to the soft-focus heartbreak of older house vocals. It treats sex as the actual subject rather than implying it, which suits a song where the narrator is forcing herself to picture exactly what she does not want to picture.
Why it lands
The track will live or die on the strength of that single question, and the question is sharp enough to carry it. "Do you think about us" is something almost anyone who has been left has wanted to ask, and almost no one asks, because the answer is either humiliating or unbearable. Putting it in a club record means it can be sung loudly, in public, by people who would never say it sober to the person it is meant for. That is a useful function for a pop song to perform.

"Think About Us"
When your hands up on her body
Do you think about us?
In the middle of the floor
Do you think about us?
Now you ready and she on you
Do you think about us?
Us, us
When you're laying in her bed
Do you think about us?
With your clothes on the floor
Do you think about us?
Am I playing in your head
Do you think about us?
Us, us
Us, us
Us, us
Us, us
When your hands up on her body
Do you think about us?
In the middle of the floor
Do you think about us?
Now you ready and she on you
Do you think about us?
Us, us
When you're laying in her bed
Do you think about us?
With your clothes on the floor
Do you think about us?
Am I playing in your head
Do you think about us?
Us, us
When you're laying in her bed
Do you think about us?
With your clothes on the floor
Do you think about us?
Am I playing in your head
Do you think about us?
Us, us
Us, us
Us, us
Us, us
When your hands up on her body
Do you think about us?
In the middle of the floor
Do you think about us?
Now you ready and she on you
Do you think about us?
Us, us
When you're laying in her bed
Do you think about us?
With your clothes on the floor
Do you think about us?
Am I playing in your head
Do you think about us?
Us, us
