The 1975 is a British band formed in Manchester, best known for their blend of indie rock, synth-pop, and stadium anthems. Emerging in the early 2010s, they quickly became one of the defining acts of their generation, characterized by a distinctive visual aesthetic and frontman Matty Healy's polarizing public persona. In August 2022, the band was on the cusp of releasing their fourth studio album, "Being Funny in a Foreign Language," with "Happiness" serving as the second promotional single leading up to its October debut.
