Years & Years began in 2010, with Alexander as the lead vocalist after member Mikey Goldsworthy discovered him singing in the shower and adored his voice. Alexander's voice has been praised for its unique tone, with the album being described as "Nina Simone...crooning a melodic lullaby to Beach House and Terry Riley's folktronic lovechild."

The band's debut single "I Wish I Knew" was released on the Good Bait label in July 2012, with the band playing as a five-piece unit. In 2013, the group signed a three-piece deal with French label Kitsuné, and released their second single, "Traps," in September 2013, which received support from Radio 1 and Radio 6, as well as other online publications such as The Guardian and The Fader.

He explained that if he used to write in a diary, he would write "you and me" because he wanted to hide who he was writing about. Male pronouns appear in several years & years of albums. "It's kind of sad to me" that no gay popstars are singing about men using a male pronoun," he told Digital Spy, "but that might be changing soon." Alexander "wouldn't speak for all gay people" because there are so many different topics, experiences, and sizes, as well as various shapes and sizes. But I can speak for myself, and that is what I'm doing if I'm going to be writing songs and giving interviews. I want to be able to discuss something I care about. "Years & Years" is the second studio album by the decadent and includes hits such as "If You're Over Me" and "Sanctify." The British Phonographic Industry's "If You're Over Me" campaign on August 14th was awarded Gold by the British Phonographic Industry, which was revealed on the band's Twitter account on August 14, 2018.
