to like, play on the radio, be fun for little kids.

as much as I like the faster paced songs,
but I don't think that song was bad at all.
- (screams) It was so good.
- Like, it's so good!
- You can tell they have more say over how they want things to look now.
- They actually get to express theirselves,
and like how they want their music to be.
- Just from, you know, those lyrics,
it sounds more personal and deep.
- They're not being put into this bubble.
You know how they hate being called like a boy band,
'cause they're not a boy band.
They're not being fed this certain archetype
of what their band is supposed to be.
Or like a reflection of the 2014,
like we want that era back.
They actually get to express theirselves,
and like how they want their music to be.

- Bro, Calum looks like a baby.

- They've definitely gotten way better. (laughs)
- See, this is even good, and I love how intimate it is.
- I can appreciate this,
because even though there's like less production, again,
the genuineness does come across.
I enjoy hearing just real instruments.
- They've just evolved into such great human beings.
They were just great role models.
- And they didn't even think like they were gonna
make videos in the damn desert.
- It's gotta be their talent, their ability to evolve,
and their fan base, is probably a great holy trinity for them.
They can perform music very well. They're able to evolve.
Their music 10 years ago doesn't sound the same as their music now.
- I think it's good that they kept changing.
Like, their vibe.
These constant changes keep people entertained.
It's not just one thing forever and ever.
- (React) How would you describe the group's evolution over the years?
- They went from boys to men.
- They're definitely not cringey anymore.
- They really had that like pop punk angsty feel to them,
and then now, they seem really deep and personal.
- Other artists try to change their sound,
and it doesn't always work,
and I don't think a 5SOS song in 2020,
doesn't sound like a 5SOS song.
- I've been a fan for as long as I could remember.
I grew up with you guys.
- You all should be proud that you all are like a decade old,
and you guys are still going, and literally killing it.
Just never make a cringey love song ever again.
- Thank you for getting me through a massive amount
of [censored] times in my life, and doing that for so many people,
and creating, like your concerts being a save haven.
- I've just been enjoying my ride along with them.
- It no one's told you lately, I'm proud of you,
you guys are doing an awesome job.
I haven't been on the 5SOS bandwagon for a while,
but after today, I might have to jump in
and catch up before that album comes out.
I hope you guys had fun making it,
and I'll have some fun listening to it.
- I will be standing there cheering you on,
even if I'm the only person in the crowd.
Sending you hearts and love forever.
Til I die. Not in a creepy way.
Not in a creepy way, I'm not creepy, I just love you guys!
