Significado
To be thinking about something or have an idea.
Contexto cultural
Germans value being prepared. Saying you have something in your head shows you are proactive. Austrians use this similarly, but often add 'schon' to emphasize that they have been thinking about it for a while. In Swiss German, the phrase is understood perfectly, though the dialect might change the pronunciation of 'Kopf'.
Use it to soften

Don't confuse with pain
Never use this for headaches!
