This will go down in history as 1975's best era. One of the best songs of all-time.

[@davidkoplitz1969]

I hope you are right. Awesome song. Go Matty Go !!!

It really is the best song. Like the 80’s

Won’t be needing that stuff. You’ll be dancing

[@brandirogers8022]

I certainly agree! I love that we are evolving with them.

[@ronckk]

Any 1975 song with a solo sax in it will always be a bop…

[@anarchist135]

Im loving how much more they used the sax on this album

[@elenam7533]

wait but is John someone famous before? (Sorry for ignorance), I saw him in the other videos of their lounge performances at BBC (same for the girls in the background), adding the saxophone. Just curious of who he is or if he did something with them before ahahah

[@thetragicghostking]

​@@elenam7533John Waugh, he's been friends with matty, george, ross, adam, since childhood i believe. Whilst not being a part of the band officially, he recorded his part since the first album. 'Heart out' for example. Apparently he was doing a shopping then got a call from matty if he wants to record an album together (beginning of the first album recording). But yeah he also worked with Holly Humberstone, Sam Fender (hypersonic missile), Plini.

[@fernandoalvarado7870]

[@miraclewitness7874]

Thank God DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ gave this song to The 1975.

[@Troll_the_Trolls]

@@miraclewitness7874 🤔

[@miraclewitness7874]

This song was initially a DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ demo which they then sent to Matt Healy who then adopted it into a 1975 song.

[@silversaint]

Never heard them until this morning when this song came on the local college radio station. Where have I been!!??? Amazing!

[@MercuryGirl33]

@@miraclewitness7874 DJ Sabrina didn't give them the song, they gave them a simple demo in the form of an initial chord progression and vocal sample, which The 1975 then fleshed out into a fully-fledged song. Which is why DJ Sabrina are credited as *contributing* writers for the track. You realize both artists can be great simultaneously, yeah?

[@taylorewalters]

echoing other sentiments, this is slowly becoming my favorite song of theirs & wow is it amazing live.

[@miraclewitness7874]

Really makes me think that a DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ live performance would be one of the most anticipated events in the last decade. Because you have about 20-30 tunes that are at this level.

[@Troll_the_Trolls]

I'm trying to find something unique interesting or remotely appealing about it. I'll keep trying.

Love that Matt has kept the sound he introduced me to back in 2014. Instead of changing sound he has kept updating his signature sound. I saw them perform on Conan when I was in high-school and his voice was always captivating but soon the 80s vibes influenced me. I love 80s music now. Thanks to 1975.

Bass players rarely get credit for making a song great. This song is a Pop song, but the bass player gives it a jazzy funk edge, hence why the sax fits so well.
