Frontman, Matty Healy recently spoke to NME about the song that means the most to him - revealing the song titled "She Lays Down" is about his mother Denise Welch's battle 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," as stated by Matty Healy in an interview.
"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, " as Matty Healy added in the interview.
