    Co-written by Sugar and Heather with Rainbow Funk composer John Thompson, “Think About” is propelled by a sunny cocktail of bright keys, lively horn fills, and a boogielicious bass accented by a subtly jazzy guitar solo. “So the time has changed, and we used to love the Soul Train/But we hold on to those memories with love so strong,” the ladies sing with sweet and understated sincerity in the first verse. From the get-go, though, the hook says it all: “Think about the things we do in life as we are getting older/Think about the days we danced all night/Now we can start all over.
