Background

Walker says of the song: "Over the past few weeks I have felt so much joy, unity, and compassion from our small community. Since I published 'Walkerworld' you have showered me with kind words and wonderful theories about what is to come. Thus, I am glad to surprise you in return. The single "Heart Over Mind" features vocalist Daya and also includes a brand new music video that takes us back to the story of World of Walker."^[1]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Mads Neset and has over 10 million views on YouTube.

Director Neset said of the music video, "Alan is very aware of this worldview and has to follow many characters, timelines, and various established themes, which is most enjoyable. It's like stepping into a very established IP and staying true to it. I tried to bring the video to life within the world that Alan created, but at the same time to have an underlying theme that I think we can all relate to a little bit in our daily lives," he said.^[2]
