‘On My Mind’ is the first track from Ellie’s forthcoming third studio album ‘Delirium’ which will be available from 6 th November. It doesn’t have to be about one person or one subject.” That’s the beauty of song writing: It doesn’t have rules. “I probably walked into the studio and I was like, ‘I have this person on my mind,’ and then another writer is like, ‘I have this person on my mind,’ and we kind of formed the song out of all our different experiences, and I’ve never really done that before. It’s fun to do that, I would do that too. People can read into it however they want. I like guys with tattoos, my boyfriend has tattoos…but I don’t mind. I think for the past couple of years I’ve maybe been filtering out lyrics quite a bit and going for a more typical kind of pop structure, but this song, we had so much fun writing it, it just comes back to that basic thing of having that person just constantly stuck in our heads.”īut the real question is – is it about Ed?! “I’m sorry to all the people that want it to be about someone - it’s not, it’s like a myth. In an interview with MTV News, Ellie said: I probably walked in the studio and I was like ‘Oh, I’ve got this verse on my mind’ and then another writer goes ‘I’ve got this verse on my mind’ and it’s so annoying. The rest is pretty straightforward.“I think it’s genuinely gone back to that. Goulding denied that it’s about anyone and explained that it is just a fun song. The part about "You think you know somebody" is referring not only to her once-friendship ruined by a confusing one-night stand but also about herself and questioning her sexuality. (*Note: The true lyrics are "Talking 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name" not "with money.") In the pause after "Wait," the singer admits that she could actually have feelings for the girl, even though she had never thought about liking a girl before, but "It's a shame" because the singer doesn't understand her feelings and feels the girl took advantage of her. The next verse goes into explaining that the other girl feels hurt by the singer's rejection, but the singer claims the other girl didn't love her anyway. Either way, the girls have a fling with the singer just passing it off as an experiment, and when they wake up in the morning, the singer doesn't want any type of relationship, though the other girl does. However, the other girl is really interested in the singer ("You were talking deep like it was mad love to you"), but the singer is not really interested in a relationship ("You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos"). The relationship probably started at a bar one night when the singer was drunk, hence "It's a little blurry how the whole thing started" and "Poured it down, so I poured it down." They end up going to a hotel and the singer is too drunk to care. The singer never thought of herself as a lesbian and is confused as to why she keeps thinking about the girl who also probably isn't out as gay. My InterpretationTo me, I believe she's singing about a relationship with a girl she's known, probably a friend. You think you know somebody (why I got you on my mind) 'Cause we both have the fear, fear of being aloneĪnd my heart don't understand it, understand it, understand it Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody) It's a shame (shame), you said I was good I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
Talking 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name
Why I got you on my mind, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand) You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos You were talking deep like it was mad love to you Next thing that I know I'm in the hotel with you Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous I don't even really know what you intended It's a little dirty how the whole thing started
