The 1975 – About You Lyrics

About You Lyrics by The 1975

“About You” is the penultimate song included in The 1975’s fifth studio album Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

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.

[Verse 1: Matty Healy]
I know a place
It’s somewhere I go when I need to remember your face
We get married in our heads
Something to do while we try to recall how we met

[Chorus: Matty Healy]
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?

[Verse 2: Matty Healy]
You and I (Don’t let go)
We’re 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

[Chorus: Matty Healy]
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I havе forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?
Do you think I havе forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?

[Bridge: Carly Holt, Matty Healy]
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
About you

[Outro: Matty Healy]
Do you think I have forgotten about you?
About you
About you
About you
Do you think I have forgotten about you?
About you
