5SOS's 'Old Me' Is Here, Alongside A Barrage Of Cute Childhood Pics

Believe it or not, 5 Seconds of Summer have been a musical group for almost a decade — time truly flies! — And with their latest single, the guys are reflecting on their topsy-turvy journey thus far.


On Friday (February 21), the Aussie musical group released "Old Me," a considerate reflection about their youth and everything they went through to be the males they are today. That demonstrates, needless to say, creating a ton of mistakes, which Luke Hemmings happily owns up to. "Shout out to the old me and everything he showed me," he sings on the Post Malone-sounding hook. "Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me."


To really up the nostalgia factor, "Old Me" arrived alongside a lyric video comprised of childhood photographs of Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin. While in the song's chorus, the collage of pictures transitions into video footage of their early days as a musical group, any time the guys' jeans were much tighter and their hair was much longer. If you are a longtime 5SOS fan, this one will certainly hit home.


In a statement about the new song, Hemmings mentioned, "'Old Me' includes a youthful spirit and follows the narrative of a young person's life growing up, for better or for worse. Every decision we made, whether right or wrong, has led us to the males we are overjoyed to be today. We were thrown into the public eye at a young age and gratefully had each other at a confusing time. Some days it's critical we look back sort in attempt to appreciate the journey we’ve been on together."


"Old Me" is the latest taste of 5SOS's upcoming fourth album, Calm, which arrives on March 27 and features the previously released tracks "No Shame" and "Teeth."
