The 12-track project includes their previously released songs “Wildflower,” “Easier,” “Teeth,” “No Shame,” and “Old Me.”
“The album title came from the first letters of all of our names,” Luke told the New York Post. “And it’s also a nod to our fans that coined us that name in our early days. They’ve been using that acronym for a long time. It kind of just sums up [that] we’re a little bit older and a little bit wiser . . . But it was named before this went down, obviously.”
“We were gonna go all over the world, do all these kinds of things, and then we just couldn’t,” he added. “But honestly, we wanted the album out really badly. We were waiting a long time for it to come out.”
Luke has also called the album “a journey through a young man’s life, for better or for worse.” Calum adds, “These new songs feel like something we could keep playing for the next 10 years, or even beyond that. It feels like our first album—like we finally found what we’d been trying to achieve since the beginning of this band.”

“[The video] captures the story of how it all began, the twists and turns in between, and where we are today,” the group wrote on their Instagram.
The feature includes clips of the bands through the years and references some of their most pivotal moments including their tour with One Direction, their first album and their AMA win. The guys even recruited young actors to portray themselves in their early years!
“Thank you for having us at The Australian Fire Fight concert! It will go down as one of my favorite memories of @5sos’s career 🖤,” Ashton wrote on Instagram with a shirtless pic from the concert.
Michael recently opened up about why he hasn’t been so active on Instagram. Find out why he’s barely been on the social media platform lately!
The vid is filled with clips of the guys engaging in some “shameless” acts like taking selfies at a car crash, faking your own death and overdoing it with plastic surgery.
In addition to the new vid, the guys also just announced their fourth album Calm will be released on March 27th.
The group – Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Michael Clifford and Luke Hemmings – just announced they’re hitting the road on the No Shame Tour later this year.
The 21-city tour will kick off on August 19 in Denver, Col. and make stops in cities including Chicago, Toronto and Nashville before wrapping on September 26 in Concord, Calif.
Following the tour news, the guys also began teasing a new song that fans suspect is titled “Calm.”
In some cryptic teaser videos posted across each member’s Instagram, a different letter from the title flashes at the end of the video, spelling out CALM.
