FKA Twigs has officially released her brand new single, “On Your Mind,” a captivating collaboration featuring rapper Lil Yachty. Produced by DJH, this track marks her first new music of 2026 and has been a highlight during her recent tour performances.
The genesis of “On Your Mind” is quite a compelling story, shared by FKA Twigs herself on Instagram. She revealed that the song was born out of a moment of intense frustration and denial when she discovered that her previous management and production team had failed to secure her visas in time for Coachella and her planned “EUSEXUA USA” headline tour. Faced with the devastating news, she retreated to the dance studio, practicing manically in a desperate, yet ultimately futile, hope that the situation would somehow reverse itself.
“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,” she shared. It was in this raw, emotional state that the song with Lil Yachty came to life, proving how pain can indeed transform into powerful and even euphoric artistic expression.
FKA Twigs reflected on this journey, noting how amazing it is that pain can manifest into such hard-hitting and sonically rich creations. She expressed that making such songs keeps her grounded and reminds her that she isn't always in control. The artist felt this was the perfect moment to release “On Your Mind” following her first arena tour across the USA and EU, celebrating resilience and what artists can overcome when they believe in themselves and are supported by others.
Her message resonated with gratitude for her fans who attended her “BODY HIGH” shows and for their continued support in her artistic evolution. “Everything happens for a reason and my reason for making music and art will always be you,” she concluded, emphasizing the deep connection she shares with her audience. This new single follows her successful double album releases last year, Eusexua and Eusexua Afterglow, showcasing her continuous exploration and evolution as an artist.
