Matthew Healy, the son of actors Denise Welch and Tim Healy, grew up in Newcastle and Cheshire. He met Ross MacDonald, Adam Hann and George Daniel at Wilmslow High School in Wilmslow. As teenagers, they played together in 2002. The band formed when the local council worker organised numerous gigs for teens. Matthew found Adam who came up to him and said he wanted to play one of these shows. The band began playing covers until they eventually wrote a song, according to Matthew. "We started from then and we've been making music together since we were about 15." After Adam invited the members to form a band, they passed their early days covering punk songs in a local club. Matthew was originally the drummer but took over vocals after the previous singer left to start another band. George Daniel was recruited as the new drummer to complete the final line-up.
