When asked about how he goes about writing songs for movies, Mike said that "''If I'm gonna write a song, I'm gonna write it for me first''", and contrasted the process for "In My Head" with a song like "[[New Divide]]", which was featured in the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack, where Mike riffed on concepts from the movie when writing the song.
