Australian superstars 5 Seconds Of Summer are giving fans what they want with the announcement of their hotly-anticipated fifth studio album, 5SOS5. Due out this September, the four-piece have offered up a new taste of the record with the release of Me, Myself, and I.
Produced and co-written by Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Dua Lipa, David Guetta, Jason Derulo), Jon Bellion (Justin Bieber, Halsey, Lauv), and Pete Nappi (GAYLE, Madison Beer), and Mick Coogan (Charlotte Lawrence, Carlie Hanson), the emotionally-charged track explores how independence can sometimes result in pushing away those who mean the most to you.
“Me, Myself, and I is a really exciting song for us to have on the record that we’ve spent the last two years making. We’re all big fans of Jon Bellion and when he sent us the idea, we instantly connected with it. So much of what we had been writing lyrically was extremely introspective and this song fit like a puzzle piece with the rest of the album. We then ended up finishing it with Jon, Jason, Pete and Mick.” rontman Luke Hemmings shares.
“Me Myself and I explores the emotional cycle of feeling like you can do everything on your own and that you don’t need anyone else, but eventually realizing that sometimes you push away the best things in your life. We love this song and hope other people connect with it as much as we do.”
5SOS will wrap up their world tour in Australia, kicking off in Perth on November 30. The run of shows will continue on to Brisbane, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Newcastle, before wrapping up with two shows on the Sydney Opera House forecourt on December 9 and 10. Tickets are on sale now!
With four chart-topping albums under their belt, 5SOS have spent the last ten years touring the world and forming a legion of fans everywhere they go. The four-piece have taken home ten European Music awards, five ARIA awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, an American Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, two iHeartRadio Music Awards, and three APRA Awards. They've sold over 2.5 million concert tickets, more than 12 million albums, and joined Spotify’s exclusive Billions Club with their hit single Youngblood.
