Matt Healy, frontman for The 1975, has revealed that there is one of his band's songs in particular that means a lot to him because it's deeply personal. 

The singer explained to the NME that a track named 'She Lays Down' is about his mother Denise Welch's struggle with post-natal depression: "‘She Lays Down’ is about my mum. It doesn’t get much more personal than that."

"I’m sure my mum won’t mind me saying this, but she told me a story when I was about 17, she was so gripped by post-natal depression that she was coming into my room when I was a couple of months old, lying on the floor and actively trying to love me."

Healy added: “How fucking brutal is that? That is brutal – especially considering how close me and my mum are. We are like, insanely close. That resonated with me so much, I think that writing music for me is such a catharsis, and such a personal thing, I think that had to come out.”
