The singer dropped her cover on Spotify and Apple Music earlier today (September 9th), taking Matty Healy's tale of sexual jealousy and crafting a shiny pop gem reminiscent of Girls Aloud or Robyn.

The 1975 are currently in the midst of a huge tour in support of their recent, very good second album with the title that's too long to type out. They return to the UK this December for a full arena tour.
