Guys by The 1975 Song Info
“Guys” closes The 1975’s fourth studio album "Notes on a Conditional Form". The title acts as the antithesis to their 2013 track “Girls,” which explores their lust for women, whereas “Guys” acts as a tribute to the band members' relationships with one another. The song was debuted live on February 15, 2020, when the band performed it at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, UK. On May 12, 2020, The 1975 announced on their social media that the track would be releasing on May 13, 2020, with it premiering on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show. "'There’s not many love songs about some of the most beautiful, powerful relationships in your life. Especially straight guys or whatever in rock music, [they] tend not to write about how much they love their mates, or how this would be impossible and frivolous and completely pointless if we weren’t all doing it together. One of the things we say to each other all the time is “Imagine being a solo artist. Imagine being here, now, on your fourth day in Brisbane, waiting to go…” It’s hard out here if you’re just constantly traveling. And we’ve been a band since we were 13, and they’re my best friends. And we’ve never fallen out. It’s a really true song. They’re the thing that gives me purpose.'" - Matty Healy, via Apple Music "'We’re kind of like brothers. We’ve got a song called “Girls,” and I wanted to just kind of write a song about kind of how much I loved my mates, and I wanted people to have a song that’s like a love song for their mates.'" — Matty Healy via Beats 1
