Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied
"Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied" is a song by English band the 1975 from their fourth studio album, "Notes on a Conditional Form" (2020). The song was written by band members George Daniel, Matthew Healy, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald, while the production was handled by Daniel and Healy. The London Community Gospel Choir provide the song's choir vocals. Its creation was inspired by J Dilla and self-reflection, with the band wanting to fulfill their responsibilities as artists by challenging ideas.

An experimental neo soul, electro-gospel and R&B song, "Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied" combines elements of jazz, spoken word, soul, blue-eyed soul, gospel and hip hop. The song's production primarily consists of a lo-fi groove, jazz-influenced chords and a blues-influenced piano riff. Detailing Healy's search for truth in the world, the song's lyrics criticise other celebrities for financially exploiting their fans while also disavowing the 1975’s own lyrics from "Love It If We Made It" and "Sex". 

Upon release, "Nothing Revealed / Everything Denied" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, with several deeming it an album highlight. Reviewers praised the song's lyrics, production and sonic experimentation, noting it serves as a deconstruction of the 1975's mythology. The song peaked at number 82 on the UK Singles Chart and number 28 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart. An accompanying music video, created by Joey Holder, was released on 12 July 2020. Inspired by the novel "The Book of Pleasure: Psychology of Ecstasy" (1913) by Austin Osman Spare, the visual features sigils and positive affirmations layered over footage of snakes, eels, nematodes and sacred diagrams.
