The one and only Pierce Merrill has a brand new captivating single out now entitled “On My Mind,” let’s get into what it’s about. The song captures the feeling of infatuation very well. Its lyrics portray someone who is bordering on obsession (in a relatable way) with their new partner. “On My Mind” feels passionate in its approach, with lyrics such as “You got me stumbling darling/ My heart is set on overdrive.” This kind of relationship often feels like it's progressing in a way that’s beyond our control, and I think the previous lyrics perfectly portray that feeling. Another section of the lyrics which contribute to the overall theme of infatuation is the following, “I wrote this song about you/ When I couldn’t sleep/ didn’t know what else to do.” These words feel more confessional and intense. Overall, “On My Mind” is a relatable feel-good song about being madly in love. Now, let’s talk about how it sounds.
“On My Mind” blends Pierce’s influences of the 1975 with his heartfelt and personal lyrics. From the moment this single begins, it feels easy-going and steady. The beat is infectious and keeps you hooked until the chorus’ lead in. Speaking of the chorus, it’s definitely catchy (but without trying too hard). The vocals have great tone, and Pierce’s delivery feels sincere. His talent truly shines through this track. The backing instrumentals and overall production sound top tier and nothing feels too overpowering. “On My Mind” is a fun and timeless listen.
