The band's origins trace to their attendance at secondary school and playing together as teenagers. Initial efforts to sign with a label failed, leading to the band's manager Jamie Oborne to form Dirty Hit records. The band opened for several major acts and released a series of EPs (Facedown, Sex, Music for Cars, IV) throughout 2012 before releasing their self-titled debut album (2013), which included the popular singles "Sex", "Chocolate", and "Robbers" and reached number one in the United Kingdom.
Their second album, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016), reached No. 1 in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Following the touring cycle for the record, the band announced their third album under the working title of Music for Cars, before going on hiatus again throughout 2017.
Returning in 2018, the band announced that the album had evolved into their third campaign cycle, consisting of their third and fourth studio albums. The first, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (2018), was released to widespread critical acclaim, and became their third No. 1 album in the UK. The second, Notes on a Conditional Form, was released in May 2020 and became their fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the UK.
The 1975 has garnered acclaim for their relevant lyricism and exploration of an eclectic range of genres such as pop rock, synth-pop, R&B, electropop, new wave forms of electronic music (such as UK garage, 2-step and ambient), and forms of rock music (such as shoegaze, post-punk and post-rock), as well as elements of jazz, soul and gospel.

The 1975 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leavin' with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want
And come on, baby (I know)
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
And come on, baby (I know)
You said you'd find someone to take my place
I just don't believe that you have got it in you
'Cause we are just gonna keep doin' it
And every time I start to believe in anything you're saying
I'm reminded that I should be getting over it
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body
I don't want your body, I don't want your body

Get someone you love?

Fuck that, get money
I can't give you my soul 'cause we're never alone
Get someone you love?

"Somebody Else" is a song by the British pop rock band The 1975, which was released as a single in 2016. The song details the feelings of jealousy, heartbreak, and longing after finding out that a former lover has moved on to someone else. The singer expresses that they do not want to be with the other person anymore, but they still feel hurt by the thought of them being intimate with someone new. The lyrics highlight the emptiness the singer feels and their inability to move on from their past relationship.
One of the most powerful aspects of the song is the contrast between the upbeat, danceable music and the melancholy lyrics. The cheerful melody creates an ironic juxtaposition with the sad lyrics and serves as a metaphor for the facade of happiness people sometimes put on when trying to mask their pain.
Overall, "Somebody Else" is a raw and honest portrayal of the complex emotions that can arise after a break-up. The lyrics are both vulnerable and relatable, and the catchy melody makes the song both poignant and memorable.

So I heard you found somebody else
I learned that you found someone else
And at first, I thought it was a lie
I didn't believe it at first
I took all my things that make sounds
I gathered my musical instruments
The rest I can do without
I don't need anything else
I don't want your body
I don't want to be physically intimate with you
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
It upsets me to imagine you with another person
Our love has gone cold
Our relationship has lost its warmth and affection
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
You are sharing an emotional connection with someone else
I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
I observe you, even as you are distracted by your phone
And then leavin' with somebody else
And then leaving my presence with someone else
No, I don't want your body
I don't want to be physically intimate with you
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
I can't help but picture you being intimate with someone else
And come on, baby (I know)
And come on, my love, I understand
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
I will see you again
You said you'd find someone to take my place
You promised to replace me
I just don't believe that you have got it in you
I don't think you can actually replace me
'Cause we are just gonna keep doin' it
Because we will keep being together
And every time I start to believe in anything you're saying
And every time I start to trust what you say
I'm reminded that I should be getting over it
I think that I should move on
Get someone you love?
Do you really want to be with someone you love?
Get someone you need?
Do you really want to be with someone you need?
Fuck that, get money
Forget that, focus on financial gain
I can't give you my soul 'cause we're never alone
I can't fully commit to you because we are never truly alone
No, I don't want your body
I don't want to be physically intimate with you
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
I can't help but picture you being intimate with someone else

on Chocolate
Hey now, call it a spliff because I know that you will
Oh you bite your friends like chocolate
You said we go where nobody know
We got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
マリファナを頼むのは、君がそれを欲しがるからさ
君は友人をチョコレートみたいに噛むんだ
誰も知らないところへ行こうって言って
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now run run away from the boys in the blue
Oh my car smells like chocolate
And now I think about what you do
I think about what they say
I think about how to think
Pause it play, pause it play, pause it
今は逃げるんだ、あの青い制服の男たちから
チョコレートの香りがする俺の車で
今は君のすることを考えて
奴らの吐く言葉を考えて
どうやって考えるべきかを考えて
ちょっと待って、いったん止めて考えよう
Oh we go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
Now you're never gonna quit it
If you don't stop smoking it
Thats's what she said
あなたはやめてはだめ
逃げてはだめ
諦めてはダメ
葉っぱをやめないならね
これが彼女の言葉
She said we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Hey now we're building up speed
As we're appoaching the hill
Oh my hair smells like chocolate
Hey now you say you're gonna quit it
But you're never gonna quit it
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, go
Play cool
スピードを上げていく
丘に近づくにつれて
髪はチョコレートの香りがする
君はやめるって言ってるけど
絶対にやめられないよ
さあ、やって
クールにさ
Oh you said
We go where nobody know
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
僕らは誰も知らないところへ行く
ペチコートの下の銃を掴む
僕らはやめないよ
絶対に終わらない
Yeah, we're dressed in black from head to toe
We've got guns hidden under our petticoats
And we're never gonna quit it, no
We're never gonna quit it, no
頭の先からつま先まで真っ黒な出で立ちで
ペチコートの下の銃を掴んだ
僕らはやめないよ

Well I think we better go
