FKA twigs has released “On Your Mind” featuring Lil Yachty. twigs wrote the song after learning she couldn’t perform at Coachella or continue their U.S. tour after her former team failed to secure visas in time.
“I stayed late in the dance studio manically practicing in the hopes that the news was not true, and in denial that somehow I would still make it across the sea to perform for my amazing and loyal fans if I just practiced a bit more,” twigs says. “It never ceases to amaze me how pain can manifest into the hardest and most euphoric sonics. I think making songs like this keeps me on my toes and reminds me that I am not in control.”

“On Your Mind” was initially teased during the Body High tour in Europe. Now, after wrapping up the run, she felt it was the right moment to release the song as a celebration of resilience, self-belief, and the support of others.
“It feels like the perfect time to release it in celebration of what we, as artists, can overcome when we believe in ourselves, and others believe in us,” she says. “I feel so full. Thank you for coming to see Body High. Thank you for continuing to grow with me. Thank you for what we are building next. Everything happens for a reason, and my reason for making music and art will always be you.”
