Following the release of their new single “NOT OK,” 5 Seconds Of Summer is back with their new song “Boyband.” The synth-laden new track aims to reclaim the word.
They describe, “We’ve always been called a boyband and this song is about us owning that narrative and taking the power back.”
The track is set to appear on the forthcoming Everyone’s A Star!, due for release on November 14. Pre-order your copy here.
This marks the group’s first LP release since 2022’s 5SOS. In the previous years, band members Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Ashtown Irwin, and Michael Clifford have all explored music with solo endeavors. Now, they’re ready to share 12 new songs together.

“Boyband” Lyrics:
Give me, give me, give me, give me everything I want
Take my photograph and lick it with a wet tongue
When I’m dead and gone, bury me in stardust
King of the river city, look at what it gave us, oh
Raised on pop punk and bubblegum
Stay young, love me till I get it wrong
Make me the flavour of the week
Now I only feel alive when you’re looking at me
Boy (Boy, boy, boy, boy)
Boy (Boy, boy, boy, boy)
I’m your favourite
Boy in a boyband, imaginary boyfriend
Irritates the metal heads, it’s your favourite (Boyband)
Boyband, boyband, make that monkey dance
Let me see you clap your hands, it’s your favourite (Boyband)
Give you, give you, give you, give you everything you want
See me on the telly every time you turn it on
Love me when I’m skinny and we never, ever age
Same four chords, but it never feels the same, oh
Raised on pop punk and bubblegum
Stay young, love me till I get it wrong
Make me the flavour of the week
Now I only feel alive when you’re looking at me
Boy in a boyband, imaginary boyfriend
Irritates the metal heads, it’s your favourite (Boyband)
Boy in a boyband
Make that monkey dance (x3)
Boy in a boyband
Make that monkey dance (x3)
