“Love Me” is about rejecting superficiality of fame and embracing the fans. The song’s genesis took place shortly before The 1975’s first show at the Brixton Academy in January of 2014.
As the lead single for the band’s sophomore album, “Love Me” premiered during Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC R...
[Verse 1]
And hey, would you like to look outside sometimes? (No!)
I'm just with my friends online
And there's things we'd like to change
(Oh! Yeah)
Next thing you'll find you're reading 'bout yourself on a plane, fame, what a shame (Oh!)
Well, just keep looking, looking, looking, looking!
[Chorus]
And love me (Yeah)
If that's what you wanna do, oh (Yeah? No)
And love me (Yeah)
If that's what you wanna do, oh (Yeah? No)
[Verse 2]
You've been reading 'bout yourself on a plane, fame for a change
Caught up in fashion, Karcrashian panache
And a bag of bash for passion
You got a beautiful face, but got nothing to say (Oh!)
"You look famous, let's be friends
And portray we possess something important
And do the things we'd like"
"We've just come to represent
A decline in the standards of what we accept!"
Yeah, yeah, yeah? No
[Chorus]
And love me (Yeah, oh)
If that's what you wanna do, oh (Yeah? No)
And love me (Love me, yeah)
If that's what you wanna do, oh (Yeah? No)
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Oh, so sack off your calendar, give it to the people
Be the man that gets them up on their feet
Say "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"
[Chorus]
And love me (Yeah)
Oh (Yeah? No)
And love me (Yeah)
If that's what you wanna do (Oh, yeah)

“Love Me” is a heavy social commentary on the culture surrounding fame. The band used cardboard cutouts of pop culture stars like Charli XCX and Ed Sheeran in the music video, but it wasn’t with malicious intent. Frontman Matty Healy said the following to NME about getting approval by the stars them...
Love me is about narcissism, about being a bit deluded in the modern age and lack of self awareness
“Love Me” was written quite early in the process of making ILIWYS. We established early on that all bets were off re: what the album would be. We had been comfortable with exploring all these core ideas of rock and roll, love, fear, death, sex, hope, joy, etc. And played with these themes across our...
