Lyrics to The 1975’s new song ‘Part Of The Band’ teased on billboards

The 1975 have teased the lyrics to their comeback single ‘Part Of The Band’, which is set to arrive next month – see them below.

Last month, mysterious posters appeared in London featuring a black-and-white photo from a distance featuring frontman Matty Healy, and a date of July 7. That date was then confirmed as one of significance for the band ahead of the release of their as-yet-untitled fifth studio album.

The title ‘Part Of The Band’ was then confirmed by the band’s official social media accounts with the release date of July 7 once again shared.

The band’s most recent album came in mid-2020 with ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’, and at the start of the 2022, they shared footage which appeared to show the band back at work in the studio.

The four-piece’s follow-up to ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’ has been the subject of fan speculation for some time, with Healy poking fun at the prospect of “making another ‘classic record’” back in August 2021.

Healy has also been teasing material from his side project Drive Like I Do, telling fans that the project will include “a little bit of new music”.
