Recording

Music

The album is said to display Dido's "love of hip hop and her folk roots", and feature "a dance and electronic music sensibility". According to Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic, Still on My Mind is essentially an electro-folk album with a "hip hop heartbeat" and elements of electro-pop, synth-pop, disco and new age.

Still on My Mind received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 70 based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favourable reviews".

Promotion

Dido first announced the single "Give You Up" while answering fan questions on Twitter, and also revealed the title of "Chances". Dido later stated in an interview with the Evening Standard that the final track on the album would be a song about parenthood titled "Have to Stay". Despite releasing a total of four singles from the album, Dido failed to promote the last three at all, due to being on tour.
