With their debut album turning 10 this year, we've ranked The 1975's greatest songs, from 'Robbers' to 'People' to 'Sex.'
showcased what the band would later become better than “Heart Out,” a perfect encapsulation of electro-pop and staccato rhythm. It’s one of Healy’s funnest vocal performances, too, as he fully embraces that very English, very drawling post-punk type of bravado. The world he crafts on the song is pretty great, as well, as he examines how infatuation morphs with age and distance. “‘Cause I remember when I found you, much younger than you are now,” Healy sings.
, “Happiness” is a delight of pure-1980s synth-funk nostalgia—but done up with the band’s futuristic top-coat. Lyrically, it’s Healy at his happiest, as he celebrates how a lover has shown him how to have a good, healthy romance. He’s self-aware, fearful that he might mess up the momentum, all while finally growing up and giving his heart to someone else . “I’d go too far just to have you near,” Healy sings. “In my soul, I’ve got this feeling I didn’t know until I seen ya.
Both cathartic and constructionally masterful, the sonics of “Somebody Else” likely opened the door for whatwould become two years later. Whenever I look at what makes The 1975 such a good band, I look to this track specifically. It sold 2,000,000 units in the US alone, earning a 2x platinum status and becoming forever etched into pop’s echelons. I’d argue it’s not just the greatest 1975 song, but one of the greatest songs of the last 25 years altogether.
