One of the most popular songs on the radio today is also one of my favorite ones. I just can’t seem to get it out of my head…it’s always on my mind!

If you couldn’t guess from my awful jokes, the song I’m talking about this week is “On My Mind” by Ellie Goulding.

Aside from its killer sound, I really appreciate what the message is in this song. Basically, this guy is totally wrong for her. He’s not nice, he’s a guy who will go after more than one girl, he doesn’t treat her well, she knows that, yet she can’t stop thinking about him.

Don’t we all have that problem sometimes? We always go for the ones who aren’t right for us, but the mind doesn’t think that way. It’s so confusing, just be normal! The heart is also confused, but according to a different song, the heart wants what it wants.  

Speaking of annoying boys, I heard that this song was written about Ellie’s ex, Ed Sheeran? According to my sources, at least. Do you think this is true?

 

 

I also really like Ellie’s voice. It’s super distinct and yet it sounds awesome. Anything she sings can be turned into a hit! (Love Me Like You Do was my jam for a while!)

I believe you should rock out to this at your next girl’s night in. Get over the boy and find the right one for you! Get him OFF your mind!
