Born and raised in Delaware, Jimmie’s “dream” began early on as a boy in his church choir. He immediately fell in love with music and couldn’t get enough. He taught himself to play the guitar, drums, and piano while continuing to develop his chops as a singer. During his years of high school, Jimmie became extremely active in the musical theater program starring in presentations of “Footloose,” “Grease,” and “Peter Pan” and receiving rave reviews. This small taste of success was just enough to push the aspiring entertainer to a new level of excellence.
After high school and dedicated to his musical endeavors more than ever, Jimmie put together a demo showcasing his talents as a singer and songwriter He began taking trips to New York City, banging on doors, and passing around his music. To help offset some of these costs, he would enter talent contests with cash prizes and usually win. One such contest led him to the stage of the BET show, “106 and Park” and got the attention of a Nashville based producer.
Jimmie made his way to Tennessee and work began immediately. Within two days of his arrival, Jimmie and producer Kevin Wayne had written and recorded a song that solidified Jimmie’s sound and musical direction. Within a few months, major labels, managers, and agents were showing interest in the new artist, and then came a comet heading for the world.
“Comet,” Jimmie Allen’s first radio single impacting October ’09, is an exhilarating blend of Jimmie’s diverse musical influences from rock to pop to gospel and r n b. The choruses soar with huge distorted guitars while the verses pull you close to experience every intimate expression of Jimmie’s performance announcing his immense infatuation with a beautiful girl. As the drums pound, the bass pulses, and your head bounces. Handling A&R duties for the project is legendary EMIl executive Kim Stevens responsible for bands like Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, and Saving Abel. Mark Endert, mixing engineering for Madonna, Maroon 5, and The Fray, mixed the single for radio. It seems the stars are lining up for Mr. Allen. So watch the sky, there’s a comet on the way!

Back of Your Mind
Jimmie Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does he make you laugh?
Tell me girl, is it a temporary thing?
Does he play with your hair?
Wrap you up in his arms?
Kiss your lips and watch you fall asleep?
You ain't gotta say it
My phone still rings with your name on it
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
You know he'll never do it like I do
That's why you send me a text after two in the morning
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
But you hold me in the back of your mind
Did you make a mistake
Your little heartbreak?
But what if I said I miss you too?
We can get it together girl
Tell him it's over, yeah
I'm over missing you
I ain't gotta say it
We both know the truth 'cause
My phone still rings with your name on it
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
You know he'll never do it like I do
That's why you send me a text after two in the morning
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
But you hold me in the back of your mind
He might be the safe kind
But girl, he ain't the right guy
My phone still rings with your name on it
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
You know he'll never do it like I do
That's why you send me a text after two in the morning
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
But you hold me in the back of your mind
My phone still rings with your name on it
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you, girl
Sending me a text at two in the morning, oh
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
But you hold me in the back of your mind
The song "Back of Your Mind" by Jimmie Allen is all about a man who is trying to determine whether the woman he loves is truly happy with someone else or not. The song begins with a series of questions about whether the new man in her life is able to provide the same things he could, such as holding her and making her laugh. The chorus then reveals that the woman still misses him, even though she is currently with someone else. He knows this because she still calls him after midnight and she wears the shirt he bought her in a photo with her new man.
In the second verse, he directly addresses the woman, asking if she made a mistake in leaving him and whether they can reconcile. He reveals that he is also missing her and that they can "get it together" if she tells her current partner that it's over. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that while the woman is with someone else, she is still holding onto thoughts of the singer in the back of her mind.
Overall, the song is an exploration of the complexities of love and relationships. It raises questions about the nature of attraction and whether it is possible to truly move on from a previous love. It also touches on themes of jealousy and possessiveness, as the singer seems to feel entitled to the woman's affections.

JIMMIE ALLEN (2018) – BACK OF YOUR MIND (Traducción)
Does he take your hand
¿Te coge él de la mano?
Does he make you laugh
¿Te hace reír?
Tell me girl, is it a temporary thing
Dime nena, ¿es algo temporal?
Does he play with your hair
¿Juguetea con tu pelo?
Wrap you up in his arms
¿Te envuelve en sus brazos?
Kiss your lips and watch you fall asleep
¿Besa tus labios y te observa quedarte dormida?
You ain't gotta say it
No tienes que decirlo
But I know that you miss me 'cause
Pero sé que me echas de menos porque
My phone still rings with your name on it
Mi teléfono aún suena con tu nombre en él
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
Tienes una foto con él llevando puesta la camisa que te compré
You know he'll never do it like I do
Sabes que él nunca lo hará como lo hago yo
That's why you send a text at two in the morning
Por eso me envías un mensaje a las dos de la madrugada
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
Todo el mundo sabe que él te está abrazando esta noche
But you hold me in the back of your mind
Pero tú me abrazas a mí en el fondo de tu mente
Did you make a mistake, your little heartbreak
¿Cometiste un error, tu pequeña pena?
What if I said I miss you too
¿Y si te dijera que también te echo de menos?
We can get it together girl, tell him it's over
Podemos aclarar las cosas nena, dile que se acabó
I'm over missing you
Te echo de menos
I ain't gotta say it
No tengo que decirlo
We both know the truth 'cause
Ambos sabemos la verdad porque
My phone still rings with your name on it
Mi teléfono aún suena con tu nombre en él
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
Tienes una foto con él llevando puesta la camisa que te compré
You know he'll never do it like I do
Sabes que él nunca lo hará como lo hago yo
That's why you send a text at two in the morning
Por eso me envías un mensaje a las dos de la madrugada
Everybody knows that he's holding you tonight
Todo el mundo sabe que él te está abrazando esta noche
But you hold me in the back of your mind
Pero tú me abrazas a mí en el fondo de tu mente
He might be the safe kind
Él puede que sea alguien seguro
But girl he ain't the right guy
Pero nena él no es el chico adecuado
My phone still rings with your name on it
Mi teléfono aún suena con tu nombre en él
You got a picture with him wearing the shirt that I bought you
Tienes una foto con él llevando puesta la camisa que te compré
You know he'll never do it like I do
Sabes que él nunca lo hará como lo hago yo
That's why you send a text at two in the morning

@Teresa Hollender ..I know the pain your feeling...I lost Peter 10 months ago...some days it feels like yesterday and other days I'm good...I don't cry everyday..but I do have days where I don't want to get out of bed...
Honey it does get better..I didn't think so at first..I couldn't see myself ever smiling again...or not waking up looking for him...but it's taken time and now I wake up not crying..I do however tell him good morning..every single day....
What i didn't say...
Was on Oct 2, 2019 I lost my best friend she was like my sister...then on Oct 31st 2019 I was hit by a car (going 45 mph) I don't remember none of it..I woke up a day later...i was in the hospital for 3 1/2....then on December 10,2019..I lost Peter...so it was one really bad few months...it's been a year since I lost my best friend...almost a year since the accident..and it will be a year in dec for Peter... For awhile there it seemed like I was always dealing with something...
Unthankful for God...im DEAD serious...God was the only one to get me through the pain...I never thought I'd make it to the other side..
