The song is a musical continuation of the band’s 2013 single “Robbers”, opting for a gothic piece with a huge hall reverb. Collaborating with Warren Ellis, the strings and major key creates an orchestral yet grounded musical arrangement.

It features a duet with Carly Holt, the wife of The 1975’s lead guitarist Adam Hann. Prior to its release, Pitchfork described the song as “moody”, comparing Healy’s vocals to Morrissey.

"Warren Ellis from Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds came in to do the arrangement for this song. It was really simple—it sounded like ‘With or Without You’ essentially—and he made it all weird and shoegazey. Even though it’s major key, he gave it this terror, which makes my performance in it a lot less romantic because everything is mushing together, and it’s violent. I think this has a similar vibe to ‘Inside Your Mind’ from the third album. I’ve always loved those kinds of [David] Cronenberg, body-horror analogies, the tension between death and sex. I think that the morose can be quite sensual, and there’s quite a bit of that in my work."

–via Apple Music (October 14, 2022)

Matty Healy actually confirmed this in the Spotify commentary notes for the album:

"Just like I knew that ‘IILWY’ through the video was going to be a continuation of ‘A Change of Heart’, I kinda felt like musically ‘About You’ was a continuation of ‘Robbers’. I suppose stylistically it was a little bit cleaner, and then we had this idea of why don’t we go full Phil Spector, so rather than being able to feel the rhythm it’s just this huge hall reverb, like ‘Be My Body’. That was the version Warren Ellis got hold of. So all of the distortion – the moving, weird distortion – that’s actually Warren’s strings. That’s what gives the simplicity of the song – even though it’s in major key – this gothic feeling."

About You
The 1975 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I (don't let go)
Were alive (don't let go)
With nothing to do, I could lay and just look in your eyes
Wait (don't let go)
And pretend (don't let go)
Hold on and hope that we'll find our way back in the end

Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten about you?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten about you?

And there was something about you that now I can't remember
It's the same damn thing that made my heart surrender
And I'll miss you on a train
I'll miss you in the morning
I never know what to think about
I think about you (so don't let go)
About you (so don't let go)
Do you think I have forgotten about you? (Don't let go)
About you

About you
Do you think I have forgotten about you? (Don't let go)

Overall Meaning

The 1975's song About You is a nostalgic and melancholic tune about a past love. The lyrics speak about going to a certain place to remember someone's face – a mental picture or memory of the person they once loved. The idea of getting married in their heads is a coping mechanism – something to hold onto while they try to recall how they met. The lyrics are repetitive and consist of mainly asking whether their former lover thinks they have forgotten, while at the same time affirming they haven't. The lines 'Do you think I have forgotten?' are followed by 'About you?' in a way that emphasizes the person is trying to forget.

The chorus is the most emotional part of the song, where the singer pleads to the former lover not to let go, that they were alive together, and how they could lay and look into each other's eyes. Then they wait, pretend, and hold on, hoping that they find their way back to each other in the end. There is a sense of longing and wanting to go back to the love they once had, but also a realization that it might be impossible.

In conclusion, The 1975's About You is a song that beautifully captures the essence of a past love and the longing for that person. The lyrics are emotional yet straightforward and touch on themes of nostalgia, memory, love, and loss.

something about this song really puts time into perspective. I remember listening to Robbers a borderline unhealthy amount when I was a teenager– on my way to class, while reading and playing video games, on days I was too sad to crawl out of bed. And now having this spiritual successor to it, and knowing all the things I’m going to do while listening to it, how it’ll age alongside me just like it’s spiritual sister song did– it’s a bittersweet realization, but if I’m going to get older regardless of whether I want to or not, I could think of no better companion to have alongside me than the 1975’s music

It was like the universe was crying with me at that time, all the pain, frustrations and disappointments ran into my mind and I couldn’t help but mourn that day. This song came along and it saved me, made me think about the good memories and focused on that instead of playing back all the betrayal they did. Until now, I’m here.

this just sounds and feels so full circle. like here we still are after all these years. the whole album feels like that imo. it feels like self titled/iliwys but the 2022 version. it feels like coming home. so comforting <3

@SchuylerB

2y↑7

That's what music and film always seems to forget in the last few years, way back when, many years ago there were happy endings to films and bands kept their core sound when evolving, and stayed true to their sound for the fans, and film now there is hardly ever a happy ending, just to make it all risqué and edgy, mainly to sell out and follow the trend and cash. Wtf can't some things just never change, like you say we all crave that coming some and comforting feeling, I don't understand this world.

@evelientx

2y↑1

@@SchuylerB I don't know if you're talking about me wanting them to stay the same or craving them to go back to what they once were or whatever, because that's in no way what I meant. I like how the 1975 has been experimenting and is diverse and doesn't necessarily do the same stuff for each album. this album is its own but imo this track and 'the 1975' (even when its different from what were used to from the opening track) do both feel like home. it just feels right.

The Portugese word 'Saudade' sort of fits...or maybe the German term 'Fernweh' might be relevant. But I think the word that best suits the feeling you described is: Anemoia. It's a new and nearly unheard-of word. Its meaning is just as the title would suggest; a nostalgic sense of longing for a past you yourself have never lived.

In my head, this song is tied to breads.
My boyfriend and I used to call each other "loaf". On the day of our 3rd anniversary, he passed away.
This song would occasionally repeat over and over in my head whenever I went to bakeries or even passed by the pastry aisle in grocery stores, as if a loaf of bread contained the life we had.
It made me think about how there are other people as well who carries a piece of late loved ones or someone who was once in their life that they couldn't put down because it doesn't belong anywhere else but with them.

This song is such a bittersweet feeling. You can listen to all the melodies balance each other out so soothingly. The sweetness is so comforting. It feels so familiar, like a place you’ve never been to before but you know it’s out there. So close, yet so far. Someone is probably listening to this and feel the same thing, we live in such a small place that is made up with big thoughts.

This might seem a bit over the top haha, but I’m just saying the truth.
I love it a lot!!

About You by The 1975 is such a sentimental and heartbreaking way of remembering past people. realization hits us that we are never bound to forget. no matter how much we want to completely erase memories of people, we couldn’t help but to remember them in all ways. they remain on everything—even and most especially on the ones that are in need of loving and caring. they leave a part of their existence within us, making it harder to get rid of them. by that, we truly are a shared fragment of other people. maybe, no matter how terrible things were between us and them, we couldn’t help but to always have them. they will always shelter a space in our hearts and minds as wounds, scratches, and grief to forever live with.

I am now 22, graduated, moved with my boyfriend, live in the city of my dreams, and this album feels like a hug. A big hug from music that became „mature“, soft, lovely.
