Songfacts®:

  • Drummer Darren King revealed to us in our interview that Mutemath front man, Paul Meany, wrote this song as an apology to his wife: "I think that all of the songs do carry a biographical place, because even a song like 'Tell Your Heart Heads Up.' I know Paul very well and I know that that song's just him basically apologizing to his wife for his weird way of handling conflict and for handling situations."
  • This track features on Mutemath's third album, Odd Soul. The record - which peaked at #24 on the US album charts - saw the band explore a new blusier sound. Said blues influence is particularly potent in the distorted, funky guitar riffs of "Tell Your Heart Heads Up."
