“She Lays Down” speaks of the postnatal depression frontman Matty Healy’s mother experienced after his birth. It’s the closing track on The 1975’s sophomore album, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It.
In a track by track review, NME described “She Lays Down” as:
" a totally acoustic song, and the mood stays just as low as before. Over fingerpicked arpeggios, the frontman sings about his mother’s postnatal depression . It’s a subdued end to a hugely ambitious, often surreal record, but it’s also a fitting conclusion. It reinforces that notion of The 1975’s unpredictability, veering far and away from ‘80s pop and funk influences, and into something so simple, but just as effective."
