Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Sound. By Songfacts®.

Matty Healy claims that he can distinguish the girl he is addressing on this song from everybody else by the sound of her beating heart. We know he is not telling the truth as in reality hearts don't have individual beats. The song is filled with other jibes and deceit: Healy goes to claim that he was lying when he told this female that he loved her.

This was one of five new songs that The 1975 performed when they began their UK tour in Liverpool on November 9, 2015. The other tunes that they debuted were "Love Me", "A Change of Heart", "She's American" and "Somebody Else."

The song's critic-trolling video finds the band performing in a glass cube as insulting comments flash up on pink screens. "That was more just referencing the culture that surrounds our band and that divisive conversation," Healy explained to NME. "I've not been on some kind of redemption. I'm not about to rise from the ashes. I've never really paid that much attention to what was said about me. I suppose people have the right to their opinions don't they?"
