The opening verse of “My Love Mine All Mine” reiterates Mitski’s desire for her love to live on when she cannot. She sings, “Moon, tell me if I could / Send up my heart to you? / So, when I die, which I must do / Could it shine down here with you?” In her “Genius Verified” interview about the track, Mitski expressed that the moon will outlast everyone, and that’s why she wants the love she carries with her to become a part of it.
The song also has a connection to Mitski’s younger years. Mitski’s father worked for the U.S. State Department, so she moved around a lot. In that same interview with Genius, she said the constant moving made everything feel fleeting — except, of course, love.
“Nothing in the world belongs to me,” Mitski sings in the song’s chorus, echoing that feeling. “But my love, mine, all mine, all mine.” Unlike love songs like Zayn Malik’s “Love Like This,” Mitski’s “My Love Mine All Mine” seems to be about all kinds of love, not just love of a romantic nature.
