Mitski is celebrating the release of Spotify Wrapped by sharing some behind-the-scenes secrets of her biggest song, “My Love Mine All Mine”
For those who are her top listeners, she shared a special message about the song, revealing that it almost didn’t get released because it “didn’t sound good.”
“It’s always the song that’s almost not on the album that gets popular. For ‘The Land,’ it was ‘My Love Mine All Mine,'” she said.
Mitski went on to explain why the song almost didn’t make the cut.
“Not because we didn’t like it, but because we couldn’t figure out how to make it sound good for a while. I was kind of like ‘forget it,'” she added.
Going deeper into the video, Mitski shares that another song of hers is almost not on any other album. For her album Be the cowboyHer song “Washing Machine Heart” almost failed to make the cut.
“For ‘Be the Cowboy,’ it was ‘Washing Machine Heart,’ I just thought it was a silly song and producer Patrick said ‘No, we have to keep it.’ It’s strange,” Mitski concluded.
