## Background

“TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME” is an upbeat and fun song about unfaithful relationships in the digital age.

During the song’s premiere on BBC Radio 1 on Annie Mac’s "The Hottest Record in the World", Matt Healy described the song as being the most fun song on the record. He stated it was the only 1975 song that he likes listening to when going out for a run, since it’s a fun song about girls and carries good vibes.

When Annie Mac asked if the song was about infidelity, Matt Healy responded,

*"Yeah, I think it is. It’s not necessarily all autobiographical because I’m not a naughty boy like that. I’ve not actually been like that... I’m a monogamous dude... like massively."*
Matty went on to discuss the song’s social commentary on difficulties of dating in today’s society,

*"...negotiating these things that are like relationships in a world that’s constructed on so many things that just aren’t, in the way that Instagram or Twitter or whatever, can get into the nooks and crannies of one’s real relationships. I don’t think you have to be monogamous or not to know how that feels. And [there’s] almost like a frivolity to it, which I sort of like, because I don’t do frivolity very often. I’m always quite like— I wanna say something and when you do say something it’s just fun man."*
Matty also explained how the track got its dancehall sound and his collaboration with co-producer No Rome:

*"The clap comes from a kind of reggae-ton place, but I suppose it’s [...] No Rome, who’s my best mate, who lives with me now and I was working on one of his beats. We’d done a song together called “Narcissist” and we were going to put that out like next month or something and we were working on it and something went wrong. It just started looping too fast and the beat in 2 time just kind of appeared. And then we just made that."*
## Lyrics

You wet my eyes

But I don't mind it

I tell you lies

But it's only sometimes

You pick a fight

And I'll define it

I swear that I (swear that I)

I only called her one time

Maybe it was two times?

I don't think it was three times

It can't be more than four times

I think we need to rewind

You text that boy sometimes

Must be more than three times

I didn't mean to two-time, two-time you

She said that I should have liked it

I told her "I only use it sometimes"

Except when I need reminding

I'm petrified

But I only called her one time

Maybe it was two times?

I don't think it was three times

I didn't mean to two-time, two-time you

You wet my eyes

But I don't mind it

I tell you lies

But it's only sometimes

You pick a fight

And I'll define it

I swear that

I only called her one time

Maybe it was two times?

I don't think it was three times

It can't be more than four times

I think we need to rewind

You text that boy sometimes

Must be more than three times

I didn't mean to two-time you, two-time you

To two-time, two-time you

I only called her one time

Maybe it was two times?

I don't think it was three times

It can't be more than four times

I think we need to rewind

You text that boy sometimes

Must be more than three times

I didn't mean to two-time, two-time you

(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time

Three time, four time, two time, three time)

Two-time, two-time you

(One time, oh, one time, three time, four time

Three time, four time, two time, three time)
