By the Numbers
I Like It When You Sleep keeps the band's full-credit model fully intact across all seventeen tracks: George Daniel, Matthew Healy, Adam Hann, and Ross MacDonald share every writing credit, with no outside songwriters. The widening sound, choir vocals, jazz horns from Roy Hargrove, and ambient instrumentals, comes from a deep additional-musician roster rather than new co-writers, so the authorship picture stays a clean four-way split.
I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It is the second studio album by The 1975, released in February 2016 on Dirty Hit. Sprawling across seventeen tracks, it expands the band's pop rock into ambient interludes, gospel-tinged R&B, and shimmering synth-pop, with Matty Healy and George Daniel taking the lead on production alongside Mike Crossey. As on the debut, every song is credited to all four members. Powered by singles 'Love Me,' 'The Sound,' and 'Somebody Else,' the album topped both the UK and US charts, the band's first US number one. Certified platinum in the UK, it confirmed their ambition to be more than a singles act.
