Ahh didn't know it was FKA Twigs that does the vocals in the intro Source: The 1975 Detail Online Romance on Sleek New Song 'If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)'
Yeah, I don't remember listening to the live videos before this song came out, and yeah, this is PERFECT. I know we shouldn't compare songs, but this is definitely better than "It's Not Living" (which is great too) cause this feels a bit more substantive-- dancy and poppy in a very well-produced & layered way, with hooks for days.
This reminds me a lot of "It's Not Living", both great pop songs but not quite as exciting for me as the best singles from the album.
Idk, both songs are absolutely stellar, and use a similar bass tactic, and occupy similar spaces on the album (late album pick-up) The Sound/Its Not Living/If You’re Too Shy seem like they’re the “climax” of each respective album. Maybe I would like you better if you took off your clothes is the selling petrol of the song I guess lol
This is phenomenal! Can see why everyone was so hyped for this one, lot of fun to listen to. Everything sounds so good too, can't even pick a favourite element of the song tbh!
alright, new selling petrol moment. At @ 2:02 on the full version of the studio track you can hear matty say "and then I called her and she said-"
I can't tell you how many time I've considered ripping that song off, just never fully committed to it. Probably never will now cuz The 1975 did it and its a perfect combination of homage/originality.
i get why people are comparing it to It's Not Living but also put some respect on Heart Out... the OG slapper!
It’s Not Living might be my favorite song of all time, so this doesn’t really come close to it, I think lyrically it just doesn’t hit me as hard.
hmm yeah "It's Not Living" has more of an emotional hook for me I think. this song's a fuckin bop tho
