Background
editThe song developed from sessions lead singer Ian McCulloch had with three London-based musicians.[1] McCulloch said, "I thought [guitarist Will Sergeant and I] needed to do stuff differently, but so the result still sounded like the Bunnymen."[1] McCulloch felt that the sound was right and he and Sergeant returned to the studio to record material for Fountain, including "Think I Need It Too".
Reception
editNME compared "Think I Need It Too" to Echo & the Bunnymen's 1987 song "Lips Like Sugar" when they described it as an "anthemic, radio friendly love song".[2] They went on to describe McCulloch's voice as "the lustiest voice we've heard for years".
"Think I Need It Too" reached number thirty-nine on Billboard magazine's Hot Singles Sales chart in the United States.[3]
