The group wrote the song during a two-day trip to the fabled Joshua Tree desert in California. The group told Zane Lowe: "We went for a few little wonders in the desert, like on these big rock outcrops, and found some lyrics for a few of the other songs... and it's scary, man, it's scary. I mean that's what the song is about a little bit, just being content with like -- we've had some experiences out in the desert, just sort of losing some of your friends and just being like, 'You know what, I'm sweet.'"[2]
The music video was released on 28 November 2018.[3]
Reception
editSose Fuamoli from Triple J described "Lost in My Mind" as "bringing a refreshed edge to the house music [Rüfüs Du Sol] have become known for crafting; they're definitely in a creative space that veers gleefully towards ideas of escape and an unknown atmosphere."[4]
EDM Identity said "Featuring analog sound design and vocals that evoke escapist emotions, we can't get enough of the distorted, gritty feel of 'Lost In My Mind'".[5]
John Ochoa from Billboard said: "'Lost in My Mind' revisits the deep club music vibe of the previously-released Solace singles via its slow-burning synths, ghostly, tribal-like vocal samples and an otherworldly breakdown."[2]
