Speaking on the lead single and it's rumoured link to a song he performed in 2021 called 'New York', he wrote: "“I love the song and it didn’t have a bridge."

He continued to clear up confusion and speak on how the single was made: "The bridge was written by me. And then became ‘Part of the Band’. ‘New York’ will be finished eventually but is not a song of The 1975. Love you see you really soon x.”
