In the Back of My Mind (Fleetwood Mac song)


"In the Back of My Mind" is a single released in 1990 by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their album Behind the Mask. The song was lifted as the second single for select European markets but only had a minor impact in the United Kingdom, peaking at No. 58. It was not released in the United States, where "Hard Feelings" was released as the second single instead. Both singles were cowritten by Billy Burnette, one of the guitarists drafted in to replace Lindsey Buckingham.

Background

In a QA with The Penguin, Burnette noted that the band had to combine three 48-track machines to fit all of their overdubs on "In the Back of My Mind". At the time, that feat almost landed the band in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most individual tracks used for one song.
The B-side of "In the Back of My Mind", "Lizard People", was written by Mick Fleetwood and Peter Bardens, a former bandmate of Fleetwood. "Lizard People" is one of the few Fleetwood Mac songs to feature Fleetwood on lead vocals.
