State of Mind is the second and final studio album released by Australian singer Holly Valance, released in Japan on 6 November 2003 by London Records. It is a mixture of dance and '80s electro-pop, some written by Valance herself. The album debuted on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and the UK Albums Chart at the lower ends of the chart, making it her lowest-selling album. The album's only single, the title track "State of Mind", was a top 20 hit in Australia, Finland and the United Kingdom.

"Desire" was set to be the second single from "State of Mind". The single was scheduled to be released in February 2004, but for unknown reasons, it was never released.[5] Holly Valance later retired from music. In addition to the original version of "Desire", a remix of the song was produced by Manhattan Clique, which has also never been officially released.[6]
