"This Head I Hold" is the first single from Electric Guest's debut album Mondo.

Taccone said the song was conceived as a "constant reminder that you don’t have to follow in the steps of whatever kind of culture you’re a part of or whatever your society says you should or shouldn’t do.

"[1] Taccone presented the demo to his friend, Brian Burton, with plans to give the song to a woman.

Entertainment Weekly called it "all winking falsetto and retro swagger" that made "'hammock funk...the best new micro genre of the season.

"[9] "This Head I Hold" was used in IKEA's 2014 'Every Meal is a Special Occasion' ad.
