It was the first single released in advance of Ellie Goulding’s 2015 album "Delirium," and it became an international hit, charting in over 20 countries. The song revolves around Ellie grappling with lingering thoughts about an ex-lover and a lack of emotion about the relationship.

In an interview with Elvis Duran, Ellie explained how this unique viewpoint was created: "One day we were at the Max Martin compound, and we were just randomly talking about having somebody on your mind that shouldn’t necessarily be on your mind. And you can’t figure it out why they’re still there. I talked to friends about it, and I realized it was quite a common thing. Just having this strange situation of not necessarily being with that person anymore, but them still being around for whatever reason, and then just kind of trying to figure out why. So I think the song was the figuring out of why."

The song is seemingly about her relationship with singer Ed Sheeran, as a response to Sheeran’s previous single ‘Don’t’.

On My Mind
Ellie Goulding Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Oh oh oh, hey

It's a little dirty how the whole thing started
I don't even really know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
Poured it down, so I poured it down
Next thing that I know I'm in the hotel with you

You were talking deep like it was mad love to you
You wanted my heart but I just liked your tattoos
Poured it down, so I poured it down

And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand

Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh

I always hear, always hear them talking
Talking 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name
Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
You didn't love me, no, not really
Wait, I could have really liked you
I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you
It's a shame (shame), you said I was good
So I poured it down, so I poured it down

And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand

Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind

You got yourself in a dangerous zone
'Cause we both have the fear, fear of being alone

And I still don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And 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)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
You think you know somebody (why I got you on my mind)

You think you know somebody
Ah ah ah ah oh ah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "On My Mind" by Ellie Goulding tell the story of a one-night stand that has left the singer confused and unable to forget about the person she slept with. She initially thought the person was cute and wanted to make her jealous, but soon found herself in a hotel room with them. The person talked about deep emotions and wanting her heart, but the singer was only interested in their tattoos. Despite this, she can't stop thinking about them.

The second verse suggests that there may have been more to the relationship than just physical attraction. The singer hears people talking about a girl with her name who hurt the person she slept with, but she doesn't understand because they didn't really love each other. She realizes that she could have really liked the person and regrets not giving the relationship a chance.

Overall, the lyrics explore the theme of confusion and mixed emotions after a casual encounter turns into something more. The singer is unsure of what she wants and what the other person wants, and the uncertainty is causing her to obsess over the situation.

Ellie Goulding is a great singer and a great talent, but she's completed the transformation from exciting fresh singer songwriter to predictable , bland pop corporate puppet. She's so much better than this - sure , she has much more exposure and sales, but I miss the vulnerable , heartfelt Ellie ...

I agree with you, but I also hold out hope that the true ellie is going to be present in this new album too.The thing that scares me the most is that in an interview she actually said that for this album to be pop-y was a deliberate decision... I am really not into this mainstream stuff, although I am still buying the ticket for her concert before I can actually listen to the whole album, so all I can do is hope for the best. surely she will try to please the general audience and hardcore goulddiggers.

@MrChEEze640

+New Piano Tutorials Keep in mind this is her breakout single for the new album, and its supposed to be as radio-ready and catchy as it can be. Ellie consistently puts out smart, fresh pop songs and I'm sure her new album will have plenty unique hits.

@JarisGoesAheadPretty1995

9y↑22

I am always for an artist transforming, I always think it's interesting but I do hope Ellie's new album still has that certain feel that the last 2 albums had. I believe that is what kept her fans also. Even if it is very different, I hope I still really enjoy it too cuz I love this song! lol

21-year-old me was so obsessed with this song back when I was in a toxic on-and-off unlabeled relationship. Five years later, I'm married and completely happy. I haven't even thought about this song for years. It's crazy how time changes the music we relate to, even if we still love the old tunes.

Many complaining about her musical transition to this new era, but she said herself this was a major change - sound wise -, she added she was finally working with the producer she wanted (Max Martin) and that this new music was very different but she was loving the new venture and that's what matters after all, so please!!! Ellie hasn't lost her identity (her signature vocals are still very shown), she's just doing like any other artist: refreshing herself in order to show diversify.

There’s Ellie narrative, Ed’s, and somewhere in the middle of “none of our business” land, is the truth. But Ellie’s side of the story is relatable to me: She, like me, met a dude and was there only for a fling, a good time, no strings, and the 2nd party caught feelings. He (Ed) claims she “cheated” on him, and I/Ellie are like “I don’t understand how I could cheat when you weren’t even my boyfriend to begin, middle or end with? Why are you upset? Why should I be?”
