Sunday Girl's debut single Four Floors was released through Polydor Records on 28 March 2010. The song was co-written and produced by Diplo. A music video directed by Elisha Smith-Leverock was also released to accompany the release of the single. On 15 July 2010, she released her second single (and video) Self Control originally performed by Laura Branigan.
Jade supported Ellie Goulding on tour during November 2010, and played her first headlining show at London's XOYO on 15 December 2010. She (with Jim Eliot of Kish Mauve) wrote and produced her third single Stop Hey, released in February 2011. She co-wrote and performed Let's Not Play Games for Martin Solveig's 2011 album Smash.
Her cover of Love U More (originally by Sunscreem) was promotionally released along with its accompanying video in October 2011, but its commercial release was delayed indefinitely. That November, she also went on tour to support LMFAO on a few of their UK dates. Williams then recorded a cover of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? for Thomson's 2011 holiday TV campaign, and the single's success helped her to be signed by Universal's Island Records in early 2012. High & Low was released on the official motion picture soundtrack of StreetDance 2.
In February 2013, Williams announced the end of the Sunday Girl project. She released her first Whinnie Williams single and music video You Don't Love Me in early 2013.
Where Is My Mind?
Sunday Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse for there's nothing in it
And you ask yourself, where is my mind?
Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
I was swimming in the Caribbean
Animals hiding behind the rocks, yeah
Swears, trying to talk to me, coy koi.
Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming.
With your feet in the air, your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse for there's nothing in it
And you ask yourself, where is my mind?
Where is my mind? Where is my mind?
Way out in the water, see it swimming.
The lyrics of Sunday Girl's song "Where is My Mind" are enigmatic and thought-provoking. The opening lines, "With your feet in the air, your head on the ground / Try this trick and spin it, yeah," suggest a sense of disorientation and confusion. The image of spinning and collapsing indicates a dizziness or loss of control. The following lines, "Your head will collapse for there's nothing in it / And you ask yourself, where is my mind?" elaborates on the theme of mental disarray. The singer questions their own sanity and the whereabouts of their mind, almost as if they have lost touch with themselves.
The second verse, "I was swimming in the Caribbean / Animals hiding behind the rocks, yeah / Except the little fish for they told me, / Swears, trying to talk to me, coy koi," continues the sense of dislocation and fantasy. The singer is in a foreign place, surrounded by unfamiliar creatures who seem to communicate with them. The use of the phrase "coy koi" suggests a pun and hints at the surreal aspect of the experience. The final lines, "Way out in the water, see it swimming," reinforce the idea that the singer is lost and disorientated, floating in water and unsure of their position.
Overall, "Where is My Mind" is a song that explores themes of dislocation, confusion, and disorientation. It suggests a loss of control and a sense of detachment from reality. The lyrics are cryptic and open-ended, inviting interpretation and reflection.

I was 15 when I first heard this version. That was 10 years ago. How time flies.
Whatever you’re doing right now, make sure that you’re happy. & make sure you’re being kind, because life doesn’t last forever.

This is the version you could fall asleep to and the original is the one you can jam out to. Either way, they are both great
