5 Seconds Of Summer announce new album, drop single Older

September 7, 2022

Today, multi-platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer drop their latest single. Older is a surprising shift from the band’s signature pop-rock sound to a soft, tender love ballad. The track was produced by Michael Clifford and co-written by Michael Pollack (Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran). Older also features vocals and a co-writing credit from lead singer Luke Hemmings’ fiancée, Sierra Deaton, which sees the couple perform together on a song for the very first time.

The single arrives ahead of their highly anticipated 5th studio album, 5 Seconds of Summerwhich arrives September 23, 2022, and will be released independently via BMG. The deluxe CD and digital versions of the album will have 19 tracks with cassette and vinyl formats also available. The album is available for pre-order now.

On the eve of their new album, 5 Seconds of Summer will perform an exclusive global livestream “The Feeling of Falling Upwards” from the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London on Thursday, September 22.

To commemorate the release of the bands 5th studio album,5 Seconds of Summer the band will perform a set of reimagined versions of songs from their 11 year catalogue plus brand-new songs off the new album, accompanied by an orchestra and choir. This will be the first time the band have played at the iconic venue but amazingly a special full circle moment, being also only steps away from where the band busked when they first arrived in the UK nearly 10 years ago.

“This will be a show like nothing we have ever done before and what’s so special is we actually busked just outside the Royal Albert Hall back in 2013 to a few ‘day one’ fans! To now play a show there, at one of the most iconic venues in the world is a really unique moment and one we felt was the perfect way to commemorate the new album.”
