## Studio albums chronology

***I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it*** is the second studio album by English rock band the 1975, released on 26 February 2016 through Dirty Hit and Polydor. In 2014, frontman Matty Healy released a series of cryptic tweets containing lyrics from the album, revealing its title the following year. After their social accounts were deleted and reinstated with a new visual identity, the band officially confirmed the album in September 2015, a month before "Love Me" was released as the lead single. Over the course of five months, "Ugh!", "Somebody Else" and "The Sound" were released as singles, with "A Change of Heart" released four days prior to release. "She's American" and "Loving Someone" were later released in November 2016 and February 2017 as the final singles.

## Background

After the band released their self-titled debut, in 2013, they spent 2015 mostly recording a follow-up.

On 1 June, the band's Twitter accounts were deleted, which caused mass speculation from both fans and media alike that the band had broken up. On 2 June, Healy reactivated the accounts and tweeted again, but revealed a cryptic and symbolic comic strip containing the message that the band had gone on hiatus. A blurred Instagram picture from Healy titled "The 1975-2" set anticipation for release. The same day, the social media accounts were reinstated.

After their controversial disappearance stunt in June of 2015, the band went through an “aesthetic change” – converting from the black with white, to white with a dash of pink. The band went back to the studio shortly after to record their new album.

The tweet by Healy was verified as the name for their second album later in October 2015 with "Love Me" (a "very funky new single", according to Spin) released on 8 October.

The album was released on February 26th, 2016 and contained 17 tracks with 8 of them being “different sounding” tracks – as they had previously announced.

Matty stated in this interview that with the record they wanted to be truly expressive and in pursing the truth. The title comes from being scared of making a new album from being hesitant they decided that they were going to go with a making bold decisions attitude with conviction. Therefore this is why they opened the record with “Love Me” since it is a strong confident song.

The band played the United Kingdom in November and the United States in December 2015, Asia and Oceania in January 2016, Europe in March to April 2016, and the US from April to May 2016. They played nine festivals over the summer of 2016, including Firefly Music Festival in June and the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.

On 25 July 2016 the band announced a North American Tour for the Fall, beginning on 1 and 2 October at The Meadows Music & Arts Festival, and then playing three dates in Mexico, the first ever in the country. The band concluded the tour headlining Latitude Festival in Henham Park, United Kingdom on 14 July 2017, stating that it was "the end an of an era, but the start of a new era, called 'Music for Cars'". It is estimated that as of July 2017, the band had done over 150 concerts for this album-cycle.
