"Part of the Band" was the 1975's first single of 2022 and the lead single from their fifth album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, put out through Dirty Hit. Written by Matthew Healy and George Daniel, it's an acoustic song threaded with strings from start to finish, with woodwinds and jazz instruments drifting in around the edges.
There's no chorus to hang on to. Instead Healy spills out a stream-of-consciousness run about his relationships and about himself, and the song wanders where his thoughts take it. Reviewers heard the band breaking new ground, borrowing from pop, folk and rock all at once.
