“I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” is the kind of song you put on when the house is quiet and you do not want to fill it with noise, just something that understands the room.
“I Am Only Ever Thinking About You” is a folk-country single by Georgia singer-songwriter Zach Seabaugh, released via Cloverdale Records in February 2026. Written on the road, the track reads like a letter to his fiancée, turning everyday distance into devotion.
Seabaugh first came to national attention at 16 on Season 9 of The Voice on Team Blake, placing fifth and landing on the Billboard Country charts with his debut EP shortly after. A decade on, he is writing songs on tour and signing to Cloverdale Records. This is not a TV moment. It is a songwriter finding his ground.
The production leans into a delicate acoustic palette that gives Seabaugh’s voice an intimate edge. The guitar and vocals intertwine in a way that is straightforward but effective, with the chorus lifting enough to register without disrupting the reflective mood. There is a steady sense of longing in the pacing, thoughtful and honest.
The song came from a real place. Seabaugh has spoken about struggling with being away from the people he loves while touring, and this is a direct message to the person waiting at home. It captures exactly that: I think about you in all the in-between moments, delivered in a clear, lived-in tone.
“We dream away all our time together / When you wake up, I am gone again” does not ask for sympathy. It states the truth plainly and moves on. The missed calls, the late nights, getting home to find someone already asleep, Seabaugh keeps all of it at eye level. “We’ll figure it out, girl, we always do” is a promise made by someone who has made it before and is not certain it will hold this time. That is the most honest moment on the track.
The country cadence on the verses does its job, and the hook is clean. Whether the title phrase accumulates meaning or starts to wear thin by the final chorus probably depends on the listener.
The song ends where it needs to, with “Sending all of my love, be home soon.” Drama is unnecessary here. Just someone trying to mean it across the miles.
