Facedown is a four-track extended play (EP) released by English alternative rock band The 1975 on 6 August 2012 through Dirty Hit.[1] It is the first of four EPs which were released before the band's first full-length album, The 1975. The EP's sound was noted as "reverb-soaked guitars and emotive vocals with a distinct twang."[2]

The release of the EP in August 2012 saw the band's first UK airplay on national radio with lead track "The City", which featured as part of a BBC Introducing show with Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1.[3]

On 19 May 2013, a re-recorded version of "The City" was released as a single from the band's fourth EP, titled IV. The song has peaked to number 30 on the UK Singles Chart and number 27 on the Scottish Singles Chart.
