Producer: The 1975

And it started when he was leaning on your car
He said please leave if you’re uncomfortable
And he said here’s the way it goes
But he cries at dashboard shows
And he’s making me uncomfortable
Let's fuck him up and hit the road

If I search I’ll find you
Yeah maybe through hide and seek
I’ll find you

And that's only if I'm pushing it too far 'cause I couldn’t bear to see you uncomfortable
Now the fun has gone away let it snow on Christmas Day
And I don’t care if you don’t believe me telling you your new boyfriend’s gay

And if I search I’ll find you
Yeah maybe through hide and seek
I'll find you
And if I search I’ll find you
Yeah maybe through hide and seek
I'll find you
And if I search I’ll find you
Yeah maybe through hide and seek
I'll find you

Yeah if I search I’ll find you
And if I search I’ll find you (I’ll find you)
And if I search I’ll find you

The 1975

The 1975 consists of Matthew Healy (vocals/guitar), Adam Hann (lead guitar), George Daniel (drums), and Ross MacDonald (bass), all of whom are from Macclesfield in Cheshire, England. The four band members, now based in Manchester, met in Secondary School and began playing together as teenagers.

The eclectic four-piece band have amorphous drifts between brooding art rock, crisp electronica, dancefloor R&B, and 80’s gloss pop, as well as lead singer Matthew “Matty” Healy’s stories of lust, intoxication, and the unabashed grittiness of modern youth. Common themes in their lyrics range anywhere from dysfunctional relationships, to the failure of modernity.

Throughout 2012, The 1975 released multiple EPs, which sparked the start of their careers. The following year, 2013, their self-titled debut album took the world by storm. From 2014 until 2015 the band’s focus was on touring, though they did reveal through photos on social media that their next sound would reflect a departure from their previously black-and-white aesthetic.
