In a press release, Yoko Ono, who oversaw the reissue with Sean Ono Lennon, said: “John was trying to get the message across that we're all playing mind games. But if we can play mind games, why not create a positive future with it—be a positive mind game? 'Mind Games' is an incredibly powerful song. At the time, people didn't quite get the message because this was before its time. Now, people would understand. I don't think in those days people knew they were playing mind games anyway.”
