Matthew West & Anne Wilson Unite For Stunning Duet Rendition Of “Me On Your Mind”

Matthew West and Anne Wilson unite for a new duet version of West’s latest hit “Me On Your Mind” – available now across all streaming and digital platforms. Wilson’s striking vocals are a natural addition to the song as she also served as a co-writer on the track with West and Jeff Pardo.

The original version of the song graces the top of the Mediabase Christian Airplay chart for its third consecutive week and previously spent two weeks atop the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart. It also marks West’s 25th number one song combined as an artist and songwriter. Earlier this week, West was among the top nominee earners for the GMA Dove Awards with a total of seven – including two as a songwriter for Song of the Year. The awards will take place in Nashville, TN on October 18.

“Me On Your Mind” is available now.

“I’ve written a lot of songs these past couple of years with my friends Anne Wilson and Jeff Pardo for Anne’s debut record. Together we’ve experienced a special creative connection that’s not always easy to find,” shares West. “I had this idea for a song called ‘Me on Your Mind,’ that was rolling around in my head the whole time we were writing another song one day. As we finished that song and Anne began heading for the door, I told them about this other idea. She sat back down and we wrote a song that makes me cry every time I sing it! It was only fitting to put a version out featuring my friend, collaborator, and incredibly talented young artist, Anne Wilson. I am so excited for people to hear her voice on this!”

The Dove Awards are always a very special night honoring the work God has done through Christ-centered music that I’m passionate about making,” adds West. “To be recognized in any way is just a great confirmation that maybe someone out there is listening to these songs I write and the message of hope in Jesus is resonating with them. That always has been and always will be why I do what I do.”

[Music] Me On Your Mind – Matthew West

Matthew West drops his latest single today, Me On Your Mind,” accompanied by an official music video, which can also be viewed below. The poignant song, and one of his most personal to date, was inspired by his time in the Word and summed up by Psalm 8.

“Have you ever read a scripture and felt like God was speaking directly to you?” West questions. “I have, and that was the inspiration of ‘Me on Your Mind.’ I read the story of the thief on the cross finding forgiveness in his last breaths and the story of the prodigal son being welcomed back home into the arms of a waiting father, and my heart flooded with this feeling that those stories apply to me.”

West, who co-wrote the song with Jeff Pardo and Anne Wilson, continues, “There are powerful words written in Psalm 8 that sum up the heartbeat of ‘Me on Your Mind.’ When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon, and the stars, which You have set in place, what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? It’s the amazement that the Creator of the universe, the King of the world, would give one single thought about me that touches my heart on a deep, deep level. God used the process of writing this song to bring me to a deeper understanding of the heart of my Heavenly Father, and I’m praying it will do the same for all who hear it.”

Brian Dishon, SVP of Marketing for Provident Entertainment/ Sony Music, adds, “We are so excited to have a new song from Matthew to share with the world – and such a personal song that gives us reason to worship God for thinking of us in all that He has done and will do.  This is also just the first of many songs coming from Matthew in 2022. . .be watching for more!”
