[14] Healy sings lead vocals and plays guitar while Dougie Payne plays bass and Neil Primrose plays the drums. Dunlop additionally plays piano on the song. [2] The song begins with a synth chord that leads into a rhythm consisting of strumming guitars and the banjo. [15] Additional strings on the song were provided by Millennia Strings and arranged by British composer Joby Talbot. [6] Travisonline". Travisonline. Archived from the original on 2 November 2013 .

Tracklist

Lyrically, "Sing" is a love song discussing the inhibitions of a relationship, having been referred to as a "bridge between the hopeless and the hopeful". [8] [13] The chorus partly consists of the repetition of "sing". Healy explained, "First of all, I love the idea of having the word 'sing' repeated in the chorus of a song—it's just so silly," and he elaborated that the emotional weight of the song originates from the belief that "feeling free enough to cut loose and sing in front of someone you love is an indication of extraordinary intimacy and trust." [8] Healy also stated that Kryst partially inspired the word, as she was vocally shy and too nervous to sing around him, which he found vexing.
