Brian Wilson supplied the vocals on both lead and harmony through overdubbing. The lyrics refer obliquely to nostalgia for The Beach Boys ("another car running fast; another song on the beach," "I took a trip to the past"), while the arrangement references The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" with the piccolo trumpet in the chorus.
The Giant Records CD single[1] release, on Giant 9280, included an a cappella version of the "Your Imagination" along with the album track "Happy Days."
"Your Imagination" was featured in the live setlist for Brian Wilson's European tour in 2011.
