""'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."
Robyn has released 'Blow My Mind,' the fourth single from her album Sexistential, reimagining her original 2002 love song as an electro-funk remake. The new version features rewritten lyrics celebrating her three-year-old son, expressing unconditional devotion and the intensity of early parenthood. Robyn describes the song as the only track on the album about her son, explaining that her closeness with him during that early stage reignited her connection to the original composition. She rewrote the lyrics and appreciates the rawness of this version, emphasizing that while children are cute, the parenting experience itself is raw and punk. A music video accompanies the track. Sexistential releases March 27 via Young, following previously released singles 'Sexistential,' 'Dopamine,' and 'Talk To Me.'
