“Guys” closes The 1975’s fourth studio album, Notes on a Conditional Form. The title acts as the antithesis to their 2013 track “Girls,” which explores their lust for women, whereas “Guys” acts as a tribute to the band members' relationships with one another.
The song was debuted live on February 1...
Guys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was missing the guys (I was missing the guys)
In my rented apartment
You would think I'd have realised
But I didn't for quite sometime
Started wetting my eyes (Started wetting my eyes)
'Cause I'm soft in that department
Right then I realised
You're the love of my life
[Chorus]
The moment that you took my hand
Was the best thing that ever happened, yeah
The moment that we started a band
Was the best thing that ever happened
And I wish that we could do it again
It was the best thing that ever happened to me
It was the best thing that ever happened to me
It was the best thing that ever happened
[Verse 2]
I took a zoot outside
In my coat's secret compartment
I hear a song and start to cry
Pretend it's smoke that's in my eye
I don't know why I'm surprised
'Cause we all shared one apartment
Man, they were the golden times
They were the best of my life
[Chorus]
The moment that you took my hand (The moment that you took my hand)
Was the best thing that ever happened, yeah
The moment that we started a band (The moment that we started a band)
Was the best thing that ever happened
Oh, the first time we went to Japan (The first time we went to Japan)
Was the best thing that ever happened (The best thing)
And I wish that we could do it again
You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me
You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me
You guys are the best thing that ever happened
You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me
You guys are the best thing that ever happened

What did The 1975 say about "Guys"?
We’re kind of like brothers. We’ve got a song called “Girls,” and I wanted to just kind of write a song about kind of how much I loved my mates, and I wanted people to have a song that’s like a love song for their mates.
— Matty Healy via Beats 1
What else have the artists said about the song?
There’s not many love songs about some of the most beautiful, powerful relationships in your life. Especially straight guys or whatever in rock music, [they] tend not to write about how much they love their mates, or how this would be impossible and frivolous and completely pointless if we weren’t a...
What else have the artists said about the song?
Songs are very pointed at relationships and how formative those experiences are, but there’s not many songs about non-romantic relationships and these can be the most formative experiences. I wanted to write a love song for my friends. It’s also looking back and appreciating what we’ve done, because...
