Composition and development

[edit | edit source]

"Sitting Inside My Head" is a funk rock song written in the key of E major,[3] incorporating distorted horns and lead vocals by Che Fu.[2] Karl Steven, the song's co-writer and co-producer, has described its initial form without Che Fu's contribution as "quite bad." However, after the latter successfully asked to contribute to the song during its recording session, it grew to become Steven's favourite Supergroove song.[6] Band member Joe Lonie directed a music video to accompany the track, which includes footage of Che Fu (and the rest of the band) recorded on a North Shore beach, as well as walking down Queen Street.[4]
