Performances by Angelina
At home
Angelina has apparently first performed this song (on camera, at least), in what appears to be a home setting (but which might be a hotel, based on the furniture and light fixture seen in the video), accompanied by Ivan Mendez on acoustic guitar. She dedicated the performance to her "grandpa" (presumably her paternal grandfather, who died on 2018-03-04). His picture is seen throughout the performance on a mobile phone positioned between the Angelina and Ivan. She is sitting in a chair and is not using any external microphone (i.e., the sound is being picked up by the built-in microphone on the video camera being used to record the performance).[2]

2024 Las Vegas rehearsal
In 2024-02 she practiced it in a rehearsal for her Las Vegas concerts of 2024-02-29, but did not perform it in either of those. A video was posted to Mery's now deleted @mosarz.m↗ TokTok account, of which a copy was uploaded to YouTube shortly after: *NEW* Angelina Jordan: Las Vegas rehearsal "Always on my mind" #angelinajordan #reaction #new #viral↗
