Years & Years were an English electropop band formed in London in 2010. The band rose to fame after their single "King" (2015) topped the UK Singles Chart and entered the top ten hit in thirteen other regions. It was preceded by the release of their debut studio album Communion (2015), which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, and became the fastest-selling debut album of the year from a UK signed band. It also features the commercially successful single "Shine", which reached number two in the UK.

In July 2018, Years & Years released their second album Palo Santo which became their second album to reach the top ten in the UK and features the singles "Sanctify" and "If You're Over Me", which reached the top ten there. In March 2021, the band announced that Years & Years would move forward as frontman Olly Alexander's solo project. In January 2022, the third Years & Years album Night Call was released, debuting at number one in the UK. In 2023, Alexander stopped using the band's name and switched to performing under his own name. The following year, he confirmed that the project had disbanded.
