5 Seconds of Summer, often referred to as 5SOS, is an Australian pop rock band formed in Sydney in 2011. The group consists of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin. Initially gaining popularity through YouTube covers, 5 Seconds of Summer rose to fame when they opened for One Direction on their Take Me Home Tour in 2013. Their music is characterized by catchy hooks, energetic performances, and relatable lyrics that resonate with their predominantly teenage fanbase.
With a sound that blends pop-punk and anthemic pop, 5 Seconds of Summer has found success both in their home country and internationally. Their debut self-titled album topped the charts in several countries, solidifying their position in the music industry. "Want You Back," released in 2018, marked a shift towards a more mature sound for the band, and its chart success on the Billboard Hot 100 further cemented 5 Seconds of Summer's status as a force to be reckoned with in the pop rock genre.
