Background and release

"In the Mood" was written by Ricki-Lee Coulter, Stuart Crichton and Brian Lee.[2][3] During the summer of 2013, Coulter rented a house in Whale Beach, New South Wales and invited Crichton and Lee over to write songs with her.[3] Together they "setup a makeshift studio in the house" and wrote four songs, including "In the Mood".[3] Coulter spoke about the writing sessions on her website, saying: "We drank, we danced, we wrote, we had fun and we were surrounded by friends and good vibes."[3] On 19 September 2014, "In the Mood" was made available to download alongside the iTunes pre-order of Coulter's fourth studio album Dance in the Rain.[4] Fans who pre-ordered the album on iTunes would instantly receive the song for free.[4][5] Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun described "In the Mood" as "anthemic and athletic".[6] For the issue dated 29 September 2014, "In the Mood" debuted at number 97 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[7]

Promotion and usage in media

A lyric video of "In the Mood" was directed by David Boyce and King Yong,[8] and uploaded to Coulter's Vevo account on 19 September 2014.[9] She performed the song at Nickelodeon Australia's third annual Slimefest concert in Sydney on 26 September 2014.[10][11] For the performance, Coulter wore a white gown and was surrounded by several backup dancers "as she paraded up and down the stage".[10] In late 2014, "In the Mood" was used on the US version of Dancing with the Stars.[12]
