The 1975 by The 1975 Song Info
The 1975 is the opening track to every 1975 album. This track originally utilized various euphemisms for oral sex. The title track opens The 1975’s self-titled debut. It has been interpreted to be an intro to “Sex,” another track on that album which expresses intimate details. It was revamped, with the same lyrics, as the opening track on The 1975’s second album, 'I Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It'. It was again used as the opening track on the band's third album 'A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships', once again retaining the lyrics, but with revamped music. A new interpretation of the track was included on the band's fourth album 'Notes on a Conditional Form' which abandoned the original lyrics in favour of a spoken word speech by teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg. For their fifth album 'Being Funny in a Foreign Language' the band once again changed up their eponymous title track by returning to lyrics penned and sung by frontman Matty Healy. Rather than the concise ten line poem about oral sex of the first three albums, this time Healy points out his own flaws in a stream of consciousness, over pianos inspired by LCD Soundsystem's 'All My Friends'.
