It has a minimal instrumentation wich incorporates "a mesh of fizzing synthesizers".〔 It was released as a single on 16 October 2013, and was later featured on the singer's debut extended play (EP), ''Truth Serum'' (2014). According to the artist, the songs on the EP talk about her "most intense" failed relationship. In an interview with ''Coup de Main Magazine'', she said that "'Out Of Mind' for me is kind of the step after 'Habits'... Picked up the pieces again and now just trying to glue them back together, you know? But it never really works". In another interview, she told that: Some critics had similar feelings about the song's meaning. Lauren Down of ''The Guardian'' expressed that "Wrapped up in the aftermath of a relationship, 'Out Of Mind' () allows the pain of an ending love affair to breath". Mark Savage of BBC News wrote that an indifferent person tells the singer that "time will heal her broken heart".〔 According to Andrew Hampp of ''Billboard'', the singer "tells off" a former boyfriend for expecting her to get over quickly their former relationship. Sam Lansky of Idolator felt that the artist shows "frustrated resignation" while she sings the line "I'll forget you, seriously". In the pre-chorus, the music vanishes and she sings "Are you kidding me?". Lansky felt that the "emotion" on the pre-chorus was "chill-inducing",〔 while Savage wrote that "it's pained and bruised and thrilling and glorious. A moment where meaning and musical intent align perfectly".〔 In the chorus, the singer repeats the line "You’re out of your mind to think that I could keep you out of mind", representing the "heartbreaking resolution" of the relationship.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Out of Mind (Tove Lo song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
