He has written, produced and performed tracks on all of the 1975's EPs — Facedown (2012), Sex (2012), Music for Cars (2013), IV (2013) — and studio albums — The 1975 (2013), I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016), A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (2018), Notes on a Conditional Form (2020), Being Funny in a Foreign Language (2022). Healy makes the 1975's music together with bandmate George Daniel. He works on the lyrics and melody, serving as primary songwriter and creative director, while Daniel serves as the primary producer who designs the sound.[8][9] NPR noted that Healy "has long treated writing songs for the 1975 as his diary".[10] He has also written and produced music for other artists.
The lyricism of Healy is known for its wit, humour, and self-awareness. His musical eclecticism[11][12] is accompanied by lyrics that are "complex, clever, [and] catchy" streams of consciousness and tongue-twisters,[13][14][15] in addition to being "topical, explicit, and relentlessly self-referential."[16] Healy has been called by Consequence as "rock's poet laureate of heartbreak, growing up, and fucking up,"[17] with NME stating that he is "undoubtedly, one of this generation's finest wordsmiths."[18] Rolling Stone stated that in the music world, Healy is the "spokesperson for the millennial generation", while The Telegraph called him "the millennial Jim Morrison" and "the Bob Dylan of raising your blood pressure".[19][20] The New York Times described him as "one of the best contemporary writers — especially outside of rap — on the process of consumption, whether it's drugs or culture or goods".[21]
