5 Seconds Of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford has launched his brand new solo single, “cool.” Following the announcement of his signing to Hopeless Records last week, the Australian artist described the track as “my first song ever” in an Instagram post.
Arriving today alongside a vibrant, accompanying music video, “cool” is a dialed-up pop-rock anthem that leans into his signature guitar work, magnetic charm, and effortlessly bright vocals. Despite questioning “am i cool enough?” across the chorus, the track bursts with self-assured energy, showcasing a new era of solo artistry from the 5 Seconds Of Summer guitarist. Check out the official video for “cool” below.
“cool “ Lyrics:
i’m standing in your shadow i disappear
while you’re lighting up the room like a chandelier
put me on and make me feel like i’m a new trend
skinny jeans i don’t fit in with your new friends
you’re the only one i feel i gotta impress
try hard and i wish that i could care less
everybody knows that i’m out of place
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
i dont look the part i dont fit the frame
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
she reads my mind, she knows that i’m overthinking what I’ve been trying to say
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?

i’m trying to play it off like i’m cavalier
before everybody asks what i’m doing here
it’s kinda hard trying to fit into a new scene
when your clothes only fit in 2015
you’re the only one i really wanna impress
try hard and i wish that i could care less
everybody knows that i’m out of place
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
i don’t look the part i don’t fit the frame
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
she reads my mind, she knows that i’m overthinking what I’ve been trying to say
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
i guess i don’t see whatever she sees in me
confidence doesn’t come so easily
when you’re the guy who caught fire with the colored hair
from the band with the song about underwear
nobody cares, they’re unaware
i’m fine i swear
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
everybody knows that i’m out of place
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
i don’t look the part i don’t fit the frame
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
she reads my mind, she knows that i’m overthinking what I’ve been trying to say
am i cool enough?
am i cool enough?
