The 1975 Share Lyric Video For "I Like America & America Likes Me"

On Friday (January 18), The 1975 shared a lyric video for "I Like America & America Likes Me," the latest single off their critically acclaimed album Brief Inquiries Into Online Dating.

The clip runs through glitchy footage of cityscapes, social media messages, weather apps and more as lyrics like "I'm scared of dying/ No gun required" and "Kids don't want rifles/ They want Supreme" scroll across the screen, making a statement about the current state of America. As one fan pointed out in the video's YouTube comments, "Wow this looks exactly how it sounds... I mean I know it’s weird but it’s like they somehow managed to put into images the sound and the message of the song."

Watch the on-point lyric video below.

The 1975 also recently announced a number of new North American tour dates, including stops in Santa Barbara, San Francisco Kansas City, Milwaukee, and Richmond, Virginia. Check out a full list of tour dates below.
