Trivia

Interesting facts about On My Mind. By Songfacts.

This Max Martin produced song is a guitar-led tale of a drunken hookup with a tattooed admirer. "I think lyrically a lot of my fans will go back to when I first started releasing songs even on to Myspace and things like that because I was very explicit and honest with my lyrics and I would literally just sing what I was thinking," Goulding told MTV News. "I think it's genuinely gone back to that. 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."


Goulding told Q magazine the song was inspired by a time she was, "on tour, drinking too much and going off the rails."


Ed Sheeran's hit tune "Don't" was taken by many to be a pop at former girlfriend Goulding, allegedly about her cheating on him with One Direction's Niall Horan while they were all in the same hotel in the summer of 2013. Now many are interpreting this song as Goulding's response. "Next thing that I know I'm in the hotel with you," she croons allegedly claiming he took the relationship more seriously than her. "You were talking deep like it was mad love to you." However the songstress does admit she liked his body art. "You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos," she sings. (Ed Sheeran has multiple inkings) Goulding denied to MTV News that Sheeran is the subject of the song. "I'm sorry to all the people who want it be about someone. It's not," she said. "It's like a myth. There's no one to be thinking about. It's just a fun song, and that's the first of its kind 'cause I do like to write about my own experiences."
