Some fans hit the nail right on the head, connecting the artwork to Thunberg’s speech.
what if “WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!” is about the current climate crisis and they’re telling us it’s an emergency and that’s why there is a quote from Greta on Spotify! the 1975 are telling the world that we need to get our shit together and save OUR PLANET pic.twitter.com/FLP0NMGouC

For those who may be unaware, Thunberg is a Swedish teen who skipped school to protest outside of her country’s parliament to raise awareness about the current climate crisis.
The 1975 track pulls the activist’s 2018 speech at the World Economic Forum and places it over soft, melodic music.
You can listen to the track below, and catch Thunberg’s speech in the video beneath it.
