This song describes the complicated phase in a relationship when both people don’t know what they truly want. “Damn, boy you make it hard / Shouldn’t need a riddle to unlock your heart / So, say what’s on your mind.” Goulding brings back the upbeat pop tempo and sings about the confusing mixed signals she is receiving from someone else.
The tempo suddenly changes with the following song, “Codes.” This song seems like a continuation of the story behind “On My Mind.” The first lines can be interpreted as a connection between both songs. It makes you want to get up and dance as if you were Molly Ringwald in a 1980s John Hughes movie. The constant beat throughout the song is interrupted in random parts with a faster tempo. It seems like Goulding was in a ‘80s mood because the next song, “Around U” is funky and upbeat. It’s fun pop tempo confusions you and makes you wonder why you are suddenly thinking about an ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. Holding its place in the Billboard’s Hot 100 charts is the first single off the album titled “On My Mind.” The hidden meaning behind this gem: “Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous / Pour it down, so I poured it down / Next thing I know, I’m in a hotel with you / You were talking deep like it was mad love to you/ You wanted my heart, but I just liked your tattoos.” This song has held its spot within the top 20 songs in the Billboard charts. In addition to the random whistling and its easy-going two-step vibe, the song is a mantra to forgetting what everyone thinks of you and being who you really are. “Keep On Dancin’” comes in with an almost slow ‘80s tempo. The song’s lyrics, “Something in the way you do / Something in the way you / Push me closer, further / Break me just enough” bring in the interpretation of how the actions of one person are drawing her in. A mellow tone is created with constant drums beating in the background and the slight sound of chimes. “Something In The Way You Move” continues the track list with its relaxing but uplifting tempo that almost constitutes a slow dance. “I know there’s nothing that I can do to make you stay / But one thing I know that will always remain / And that’s the aftertaste.” The repeating chorus explains how even after a relationship is over, the memories are the ones left behind. Followed by a sudden transition into “Aftertaste.” The tempo picks up a fast pace pop vibe, complimented with drums and an electronic beat.
