- "My Mistakes" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Eleanor Friedberger. Released in 2011, it marked Friedberger's debut solo single, following her work as one-half of the musical duo The Fiery Furnaces. It served as the lead single and opening track from her first studio album, Last Summer. The song's lyrics move back and forth in time, as Friedberger reflects on emotional and physical pains past and present, while the production features a two-chord guitar, keyboards, and a saxophone solo. Upon its release, the single drew acclaim from music critics, who praised its accessibility and tone; multiple critics also deemed it one of her catchiest songs ever. It became a top 40 hit on the Billboard Mexico Ingles Airplay chart, where it spent five nonconsecutive weeks and peaked at number 36. An accompanying music video featured old video footage of a 19-year-old Friedberger from a college project, mixed with newly recorded footage, of Friedberger preparing for a date, kissing classmate (and future Spoon frontman) Britt Daniel, and playing guitar on a front stoop. It drew favorable reviews from critics as well, who commended its concept and nostalgia. (en)
