[Verse 1]
We're fucking in a car, shooting heroin
Saying controversial things just for the hell of it
Selling melanin and then suffocate the black men
Start with misdemeanours and we'll make a business out of them
And we can find out the information
Access all the applications
That are hardening positions based on miscommunication
Oh, fuck your feelings
Truth is only hearsay
We're just left to decay
Modernity has failed us
[Chorus]
And I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
[Verse 2]
And poison me, daddy
I got the Jones right through my bones
Write it on a piece of stone
A beach of drowning three-year-olds
Rest in peace, Lil Peep
The poetry is in the streets
Jesus save us
Modernity has failed us
[Chorus]
And I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
Yes, I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
I'd love it if we made it
Tell me something I didn't know
[Bridge]
Consultation
Degradation
Fossil fueling
Masturbation
Immigration
Liberal kitsch
Kneeling on a pitch
[Verse 3]
"I moved on her like a bitch"
Excited to be indicted
Unrequited house with seven pools
"Thank you, Kanye, very cool"
The war has been incited
And guess what, you're all invited
And you're famous
Modernity has failed us
[Outro]
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
Tell me something I didn't know
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
And I'd love it if we made it
Love It If We Made It was written by Ross MacDonald & Adam Hann & George Daniel & Matty Healy.
Love It If We Made It was produced by George Daniel & Matty Healy.
The 1975 released Love It If We Made It on Thu Jul 19 2018.
“It’s the gem of hope amongst all of the rubble. I didn’t want to do a protest song. I wanted to be introspective but not so much like my diary.” – Matty Healy, for Genius.
This song is made up of references to controversial social and political topics that point to a trend of regression leading to dark times. While current circumstances may seem hopeless, the song title and repeating chorus saying “I’d love it if we made it” is offering a hopeful and optimistic messag...
A music video for the song was released on Spotify in long form vertical format. An official video was released on October 15, 2018:
It was June of 2017. The first day of the writing of “Love It If We Made It,” or the first time I remember it becoming an idea, was a nudge on a plane from George, who had made the first musical idea for it. To be fair, it’s like two chords the whole song. It didn’t really move that far away from th...
We all were just finishing up touring ‘I Like It When You Sleep,’ and we went into the studio just for a day to track some stuff. That was the first time it all came out. There was such a purity of reaction from everybody, they were like, “Yeah, it’s fucking crazy.” Because it wasn’t very me, or it...
Of course, it’s a piece of art, so I have to sing it, and I have to deliver it, but it was uncomfortable. It’s not uncomfortable because of the things I’m saying, but it was just interesting. I was always aware of things in this song that just shown a really bizarre light on reality. I know what it’...
We wanted it to sound really machine-like, in a industrial sense. Every day post “ILWYS”, I was sent tabloid newspapers. So eventually, after a year, I’d have every single tabloid headline and write a song about that. The sad thing is that, using the actual things that were written, it was just beco...
