5 Seconds Of Summer‘s Ashton Irwin has debuted another single off of his forthcoming solo album Superbloom. The new song is called “Have U Found What Ur Looking For” and follows up the recently released “Skinny Skinny.”
On “Have U Found What Ur Looking For,” Irwin shares:
“We wrote the song in an hour and it inspired my mission statement for my whole year. We were like, ‘oh my God, we could actually make a record in quarantine’. It made us chase it down like a pack of wolves. With its mix of heavy guitars, dreamy soundscapes, indelible hook and lyrics about finding your way out of the abyss, it set a template for the record both sonically and thematically. It has a positive uplifting tone but it’s also about being in a fog of depression.”
Ashton previously revealed that Superbloom features songs about various topics including his childhood, mental health, death and body dysmorphia:
“I had to reach a certain level of lyrical maturity in order to write about something I actually cared about. I think it’s always important as an artist to have a mission statement, like, ‘why do you make music? Why do you write the lyrics you write?’ The overarching narrative is support system, healing, recovery, strength and focus on true self. I felt like I had a lot to write about.”
Pre-orders for Superbloom are available here.
