Matty Also Posted A Picture On His Instagram Featuring The Band’s Name And Track’s Title. "'It Was The First Thing That I Wrote For This Album That I Knew Was Great. And It Was The First Thing That We Got Excited About. Inherently Excitement Equals Projection So It Was Originally Going To Be The First Single . And Then We Went Off On Tour And I Wrote “People.” And We Were Like “Right Well. If We Don’t Start With This Where Are We Going To Put It?'" - Matty Healy Via Apple Music The 1975 Frontman Matty Healy Mentioned The Song Title And Topics It Covers During An Interview With Dazed "'There’s A Song Called “The Birthday Party” That’s Just About The Interesting Social Minutiae Of House Parties. I Was Gonna Do A Song That Was Like ‘What It Was Like To Be At A House Party At 20 25 And 29’. But Then I Realised I Don’t Need To Do It I Just Need To Do What It’s Like Now Because My Career Has Been What It’s Been Like To Be At A House Party At 20 25 And 29. I Think The Album Will Be Similar In The Way That Brief Inquiry Can Be Quite Deconstructed – There’s Big Bombastic Elements To It But It’s A Very Stripped Pure Version Of The 1975. The Older We Get The More Scandi We Get With It Pop-Wise. There’s Still A Lot Of Anxiety On The Record But There’s Some Big Bits. Oh God I Don’t Know I’m Fucking Stressed About It.'"
