Breaking It DownEverything To Know About 5 Seconds Of Summer’s New Album ‘CALM’

When will the album come out?

On Wednesday, February 5, the band took to Instagram and announced that their new album would be released on March 27, 2020. They also revealed that the record would be called CALM, which stands for Calum, Ashton Luke and Michael — the band’s members.

What will the album sound like?

According to 5SOS guitarist Michael Clifford, the album will be “so f**king good.”

In an interview with Billboard the boys revealed that the new record is a mix of their old sound with a completely new vibe.

“It’s so different in every single song that you hear, and it’s so current but also a throwback at the same time,” Michael also said. “It really is going to be exactly what I think people who are fans of 5 Seconds of Summer are going to want.”

What will the album be about?

Singer Luke Hemmings revealed that a lot of their song inspiration was taken from “specific nightlife.”

“Just paying attention to energies that draw you and inspire you, and I guess that’s why we moved to LA. Like, I wouldn’t be sitting in the middle-of-f**king-nowhere Sydney if I was looking for inspiration. And we were looking for things that inspired us, and they were raw. I think there’s been some specific musical taste shifts in the group, for sure,” he told Billboard about the new songs.

Have any songs been released?

Previously, the boys teased this album with the release of “Easier” and “Teeth.” Along with the title and release date announcement on Wednesday, February 5, they also dropped a new track called “No Shame.”

Aside from the previously released songs, the band also shared CALM‘s track list. The song titles include: “Red Desert,” “Old Me,” “Wildflower,” “Best Years,” “Not In The Same Way,” “Lover Of Mine,” “Thin White Lies,” “Lonely Heart” and “High.”

Will there be any collaborations?

From the look of it, the album has no collaborations. In the past, 5SOS worked on some tunes with The Chainsmokers and some fans have speculated that they might still make an appearance on CALM.
