It's truly incredible to look back on the history of 5SOS as a band and see how far they've come. I first became a fan of theirs almost six years ago, when I was a lonely high schooler who found her friends and her joy through the music and bands I loved.
2015 5SOS.
They were my first true obsession, back when they were pop-punk teenagers stealing the hearts of other teenagers like myself.
2020 5SOS.
Fast forward to 2020, they've grown up a lot and completely reinvented their sound.
This single comes out of left field with some seriously stacked, Queen-style vocals. To me, the song sounds like it would fit perfectly as the theme song to a 80's TV show, with its funky chord progressions, catchy melodies, and punchy chorus. It's a ton of fun and embraces that sunny 80's cheesiness with flashy synths and psychedelic guitars. Once we can all leave our houses again, I'm sure this tune will make it onto summer playlists for car rides and beach parties!
