"Think" is the name of a hit single released by American R&B/soul musician Aretha Franklin in 1968, from her "Aretha Now" album. The song, a feminist anthem, reached #7 on Billboard Pop Singles Chart, becoming Aretha's seventh Top 10 hit in the United States. The song also reached #1 on the magazine's Black Singles Chart, becoming Aretha's sixth single to top that particular chart. The song was written by Franklin and Ted White.

Franklin also performed the song in a musical sequence of the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers".

The song on "American Idol"

The song was performed by three "American Idol" runners-up: Diana DeGarmo in season 3 (2004), Katharine McPhee in season 5 (2006) and LaKisha Jones in season 6 (2007).

McPhee's version of the song was released as a limited single from the "" album. The song became a minor internet hit for McPhee - it was her first song to chart in the Pop 100, where it peaked at #90 due to download sales alone.

The song was also performed by season 3's Fantasia Barrino in her first week in Hollywood.

In Season 6, LaKisha Jones performed the song in her initial audition, as did Syesha Mercado in Season 7.

Australian Idol Season 6 Finalist Chrislyn Hamilton also Performed the song during Top 12 and received a Touchdown.
