Harrison's version of the song was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic on his 1988 album Even Worse, as "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" poking fun at the repetitive nature of the lyrics. Her acclaimed works have been featured in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, and more. They have also been optioned for film and sold to over a dozen foreign territories. Sean from Philadelphia, Pa"Gone Troppo" was not released the same year as "Got My Mind Set on You". 'Got my mind..." was released on the "Cloud 9" album in 1987. "Gone Troppo" was released in 1982. Set on You is the lighthearted, sweet, and sexy book you’ve been waiting for. Lea’s delightful debut is a funny and poignant look into the power and perils of social media and the strength required to be vulnerable. Set On You beautifully captures the free-falling elation of realizing the person you can’t stand is the person you can’t stand to be without and the chemistry between Scott and Crystal sizzles. The gym has never seemed such a sexy and romantic place as in this book!”—Denise Williams, author of How to Fail at Flirting

The single's B-side is "Lay His Head", a remixed version of the unreleased song from Harrison's originally intended Somewhere in England album. The 12-inch version of the single also adds an extended version of "Got My Mind Set on You".

Katie from Australiaoh I love this song. It's just so catchy and upbeat. It was the first song I can remember ever liking. The lead single from the album, ‘Got My Mind Set On You’ was released on 12 October 1987. ‘Lay His Head’, a leftover from the Somewhere In England album, was on the b-side. A 12″ vinyl single also contained an extended mix of ‘Got My Mind Set On You’. Fred from Summit, NeWhen George Harrison came to the US in 1963 (prior to the Beatles invasion), he discovered the song on a James Ray self-titled Caprice Records LP (#1002). On the LP, it featured an extended version of the song. The song also saw release as a single, in a much shorter form, on Dynamic Sound Records, as a flip side to an Irving Berlin standard, "Always".

Being half Mexican and half White, I could understand Crystal’s issues arising from being half white and half Asian (not the same but similar expectations of you not being white enough or not being the other half enough). However, this was not the main conclusion.a b "European Airplay Top 50" (PDF). Music & Media. Vol.4, no.10. 14 March 1987. p.4. OCLC 29800226 . Retrieved 2 October 2023– via World Radio History. Eric from Bend, OrTo the people who have asked why the song mentions money, I've always thought this song was about having his mind set on a woman, and money is needed for things like taking her out to dinner, buying her gifts, etc., and if he wants to marry her, it will take money to buy her a ring and pay for the wedding, as well as buying a house with her. The story follows Crystal, a personal trainer and also a fitness influencer who has really learned to love her body. While many judge her height and career choices, Crystal knows she is the happiest and healthiest person just the way she is. When he meets an angry stranger at the gym, he’s off-putting at first sight…kinda. Scott seems to be pushing all of Crystal’s buttons and she has many guesses about his personality, but the two can’t keep their distance. When they find out they’re not just connected through the gym, things get completely complicated. But Scott could be on the mend, and Crystal will never be anyone’s second choice again. All the massive corporations that told us we weren’t beautiful- that we weren’t object of affection – are suddenly screaming at us to love ourselves, And if we don’t love ourselves, all the time, we’re the problem. Jared from Meadville, PaYes, the other video was indeed a young man in an arcade, trying to get a prize out of one of those claw games for his date

Guy from Woodinville, WaI'm a big George Harrison fan and I always have been, but this song is just about the worst pop drivel ever recorded. IMHO.European Hot 100 Singles" (PDF). Music & Media.

ISBN 0-646-11917-6. Got My Mind Set On You” is a footnote in a long and great career, but its success means that George Harrison was both the first and the last Beatle to hit #1. That’s something. Steven from Henderson, NvGeorge didn't write this song but it's obvious to me he chose it for the main lyric: "Got my mind set on you (Krishna). Does anyone remember that on the TV series VEGAS with James Caan, a band played "Got My Mind Set On You," while marching through the Montecito Casino at the end of an episode.
