“Love Me” is about rejecting superficiality of fame and embracing the fans. The song’s “genesis” took place shortly before The 1975’s first show at the Brixton Academy in January of 2014. As the lead single for the band’s sophomore album, “Love Me” premiered during Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. During its premiere, frontman Matty Healy explained that the song referred to their narcissistic nature in regard to their rise to fame and expressed how they want to evolve with their fans.
