The band was banned from performing in Malaysia due to "controversial conduct and remarks" during their performance at the Good Vibes Festival on 21 July 2023. This included a same-sex kiss onstage between Healy and MacDonald, and Healy openly criticising the country's strong anti-LGBT laws. [119] [120] The remainder of the festival was then cancelled by local authorities. [120] Malaysian authorities forced the organisers to immediately halt and cancelled the rest of the three-day festival citing that Healy's "controversial conduct and remarks" are "against the traditions and values of the local culture". [121] Human rights and LGBT activist Peter Tatchell, writing for The Guardian wrote that criticism of Healy and the band "deflect attention from where the criticisms should be most urgently directed: against the homophobia of the Kuala Lumpur regime." He also expressed that Healy is no white saviour for showing solidarity to the community as "queer rights are a universal human right, not a western one".

Along with The 1975, he wanted to start his own independent label called Dirty Hit, which would operate in tandem with his All On Red management company. The goal was for his artists to be able to build a platform for themselves when no one was offering to support them. The 1975 agreed and signed to their own label for 20 pounds.

Healy said, "We wouldn't have been able to release the album without putting out the EP's first, as we wanted to make sure we could express ourselves properly before dropping this long, ambitious debut record on people."

After four EPs on the label, the band released their self-titled debut album in 2013 - a record Healy has likened to an early "greatest hits" - and really began to take over the world in a blast of ambitious, infectious pop dressed up in a monochrome aesthetic. The 1975 take on that overwhelming anxiety with nerve and aplomb, and the result combines the fist-raising inspired by anthems with the gut-punch provided by precisely described longing.
