5 Seconds of Summer have unveiled a video for their new single “NOT OKAY,” which can be streamed below. The track appears on their forthcoming album, Everyone’s A Star!, which arrives on November 14 via Republic Records. On the track, vocalist Luke Hemmings shares:
“It has the older 5 Seconds of Summer energy, but it’s different—which is the whole M.O. of this chapter. Lyrically, it’s about letting out the darker side of yourself and embracing it. The song is also a nod to the band itself. We pull those sides out of each other.”
On Everyone’s A Star!, Luke states:
“This band is made of four people who could all have their own solo albums where they do it all, sing it all, and write it all. ‘Everyone’s A Star!’ embodies all of that. We were teenagers at the beginning of 5 Seconds of Summer. We were writing with more naivete, but we said what we were thinking. As time goes on, you tend to get a bit more cautious about what you say, but I think this record has more of our original sprit—but with 15 years of wisdom and a dash of reckless abandon.”
