This record marked a return to his solo work after a brief hiatus following the birth of his son, Sean, and his focus on family life. The performance recorded at the Record Plant featured arrangements by The Plastic U.F.Ono Band, showcasing Lennon’s unique blend of rock and introspective lyricism during this period. Notably, "Mind Games" explored themes of peace, love, and self-reflection, indicative of his ongoing artistic evolution.
