  • Brown had a relationship with The Saturdays singer Mollie King before breaking-up in January 2011. He told Capital FM this song is about the girl group singer. "She's my ex and we split up and I wrote quite a few songs about it and 'When She Was Mine' was one of them," he said. "But she knows and she's cool and she loves the song and we love The Sats so."
