"All on My Mind" is a 2017 single by Anderson East, lead single of his 2017 album Encore. It was his first release since his 2015 album Delilah. The single reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Adult Alternative Songs[1] and made it to number 34 on the U.S. Adult Top 40[2] chart.

The song was first written by Ed Sheeran and Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid, the songwriting duo behind top-hit "Shape of You". Erik Eger, McDaid's manager, presented the demo version of the song to Gregg Nadel, Elektra Records president. Nadel, who's in charge of Sheeran's U.S. marketing, then pitched it to Anderson East, who adapted it with his longtime collaborator Aaron Raitiere. Several revisions went back and forth,[3] and hearing the final result, Ed Sheeran "loved it," and "could not have been happier with how it turned out."[4]

The song was nominated at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in the Best American Roots Performance category, but lost to Brandi Carlile's "The Joke."[5]

Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the song, saying it "sounds like pure East. Marching along with stabs of strings and swells of electric piano, 'All on My Mind' is a showcase for East’s rugged, raspy vocals as he ponders his obsession with a rule-breaking woman."[6]
