Background
YNW Melly thought up the chorus of "Murder on My Mind" when he was first incarcerated at the age of 16. The song is not written as a confession of his alleged double murder, as the song was released in March 2017, while the alleged murders occurred in October 2018.
A music video for "Murder on My Mind", directed by Gabriel Hart, was released on August 3, 2018.
