"'My Mind Is for Sale'" is a song by American musician Jack Johnson. The song was released on July 14, 2017, and is the lead single for his seventh studio album 'All the Light Above It Too'.
Production
The song, and album was produced by long time companion with Jack Johnson, Robbie Lackritz, and recorded at "Mango Tree Studio." The song and album were mostly inspired by the sayings of Donald Trump, surfing, and camping. Also, Johnson had just recently worked on the short documentary, "Smog of the Sea," and released his song "Fragments."
