Written by Robyn’s latest song will be familiar to longtime fans. “Blow My Mind,” the fourth single on her new album, Sexistential, is an electro-funk remake of her original 2002 love song of the same name. Rewritten and re-recorded, the song’s new lyrics are all about her three-year-old son: “Unconditional naked devotion / Your unbearably cute scrumptious little face / Crushing me every single day.” The Swedish singer has also shared a music video to accompany the track—check that out below.
“‘Blow My Mind’ is the one song on the album about my son,” Robyn said in a press statement. “I was in that early stage when I was with him all the time, and something about that closeness opened the song up to me again. Listening back to the original I thought, ‘I think it’s one of the best songs I ever recorded, and I’m just gonna do it again.’ I rewrote the lyrics and I love this version’s rawness. It’s not cute, because it’s not cute with children. They’re cute, but the experience isn’t. It’s very punk.”
Sexistential is out March 27 via Young. “Blow My Mind” follows the release of singles “Sexistential,” “Dopamine,” and “Talk To Me.”
