The story behind the song

"Mind Games" started as a song titled "Make Love, Not War" in 1969, a popular anti-war slogan at the time. A different song called "I Promise" contained the melody that would later be used. John Lennon finished writing "Mind Games" after reading a book with the same title. The song was released as a single in 1973 and was the lead single for the album of the same name.
