5 Seconds Of Summer have always played with the line between bright pop hooks and the raw honesty that comes from life lived under a spotlight. Across five albums, they grew from a teen phenom into a global force with the numbers to prove it: billions of streams, three U.S. Billboard 200 chart-toppers, and songs that still pulse through playlists and car stereos like personal anthems. “She Looks So Perfect,” “Youngblood,” and “Amnesia” didn’t just land with their original audience, they stuck around because the band’s mix of melody, muscle, and vulnerability carries real weight.

Now the quartet is stepping forward with their sixth studio album, Everyone’s A Star. Early reactions are already rolling in, with Redbrick calling the title track “a striking opener” built on “shimmering synths and a lively drum beat.” Over on Medium, an early reviewer described the music as “flawless” and praised the concept behind the new material as “brilliant.”

The album arrives with the confidence of a group that knows exactly who they are and how far they have come. Years on the road, late-night writing sessions, and the constant push to evolve are baked into the new record. There is a spark in these songs that feels earned, a sense that the band is still hungry and still chasing new ideas while staying rooted in the sound that brought them here.

Everyone’s A Star finds 5SOS in full creative stride, dialing in a sharper vision without losing the edge that first set them apart. They have gone from rising up the charts to shaping their own lane. With this album, they take their next step, ready to claim their place as one of the most enduring pop-rock bands of their generation.
