“Pressure” reflects on the band being an open book due to fame, considering recognition in public and vulnerability through the media. However, this song was written even before their first EPs were released, so it could be more in reference to Matty’s personal struggle with his parents' popularity.
Pressure Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've seen so many faces that I never seen before
I left an unrewarding message telling you to come on
Overdramatic, automatically assume I'll stay the same
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
(Change in pressure)
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say
[Verse 2]
Well, I stay tuned and listen to the news
And try to fall asleep at night
Because I'm living in a house with just three walls
So I'm always getting recognised
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
(Change in pressure)
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)
Oh, my broken veins say
[Bridge]
Change in pressure
Change in pressure
Change in pressure
Change in pressure
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a change in pressure
We're never gonna lie to you
(Change in pressure)
My broken veins say that if my heart stops beating
(Change in pressure)
We'll bleed the same way
(Change in pressure)
[Outro]
Oh, my broken veins say

What did The 1975 say about "Pressure"?
Pressure is a song about my relationship with the world that I was brought up in – my parents involved in the media. I grew up in a world where you’re quite exposed, everyone’s quite exposed and there’s an element of pressure on you as a person, not necessarily as a professional. And it’s about how...
What else have the artists said about the song?
The demo was called “America”, I always saw it as a sister song to “Chocolate”, it has this kinda tropical shuffle vibe. It’s about me growing up as a witness to the media, how an extrenal third party like “media” can affect a family unit and resulting fear that I have held in my life in relation to...
