This blog post is in excitement of the 5SOS concert. 5SOS is one of my favorite bands ever so I know this is going to be hard to pick out my favorite songs. And they've only released one album! They have a couple of EPs too, but one album! That's how much I love these songs!
*Note: In no order!
My Favorite 5 Seconds of Summer Songs and Why
1. She's Kinda Hot (She's Kinda Hot; 2015): This song is literally my new favorite song. It's honestly such a good song and it's such an anthem for everybody. Michael put it best, by saying that this song is for everybody who has ever thought that they suck and to let them know that they don't suck. That's honestly what this song is and it's awesome. Plus, it's the kind of music that 5sos wants to be making and that makes me so incredibly happy. (Click here for more ranting about this song.) I cannot wait to hear it live.
2. If You Don't Know (Don't Stop EP; 2014): I feel like this song is very under appreciated. It's such a good song and so well written that it really should be one of their singles. However, it was released on their Don't Stop EP, which, as you will soon find out, is my favorite. Their Don't Stop EP wasn't released on Spotify, and it's really hard to find in stores, so the songs on it are not as well known. That's a shame because all of them are really really really good and are my favorites. This song is one of them. It's well written and executed so it deserves to be here.
3. Rejects (Don't Stop EP; 2014): This song is the definition of teen angst and that makes me so happy! I'm all about that teen angst and this song makes me happy, so fuck yes. I'm down. Sign me up.
4. Try Hard (Don't Stop EP; 2014): This song was my favorite of theirs when they still hadn't released an album, and I was glad they re-released it. It made me very happy and I still love the song. A lot.
5. Wrapped Around Your Finger (Don't Stop EP; 2014): My friend Lucy once said that this song reminded her of me (and my future relationship). That just makes me really happy and I literally teared up when she told me that. Because of that this song is one of my favorites.
6. Unpredictable (Somewhere New EP; 2012): This song was released when they were literally like 15 and 16. And, it's better than music that some adults release today. That's saying a lot. It has great lyrics and a great tune. That's all that really needs to be said.
7. Wherever You Are (Released on Youtube; 2013): I like this song just because it was released for the fans. They literally released it just because everyone wanted new music and they wanted to give it to us. That's pretty cool that a band would do that. Plus, it's a good song.
8. Disconnected (She Looks So Perfect EP; 2014): This song is my favorite song of theirs that isn't on their album. The live version is perfect and is always on literally every playlist I make. Plus, all my friends and I jam out to Mikey's guitar solo in the live version. Plus, the lyrics are so cute and well written. Also, Alex Gaskarth wrote the song with them and sings the backing vocals in this. Real tears.
9. End Up Here (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): Probably my favorite song off of their album. This song they wrote with Alex from All Time Low, which is like my worlds colliding. Plus, this song has references to Livin' On a Prayer by Bon Jovi which I think you guys know how much I love that song, so that makes it the most perfect song in the world basically. Also, Mikey sings the chorus so I die.
10. English Love Affair (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): This song is just my dance song. Whenever I want to dance I play this song. Seriously. It's so good. Plus, this song is like basically the equivalent to a winky face. So there's that.
11. Good Girls (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): Such a good song. This song has been my jam since I found a shitty version that someone recorded at a concert in 2012. True story. So glad that they released this song on their album. Plus, their music video is great and I love it. Good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught. ;)
12. Kiss Me Kiss Me (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): This song is just about living up those teenage years, which is basically what I live by. Everyday. This song is pretty pop, but has the guitar that I love. Anyway, I love this song, so that's why it's here.
13. Long Way Home (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): This song is so cute. It literally makes my heart hurt. It's everything that I've ever wanted to happen. Plus, they wrote it with Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low, so that makes me internally cry all day. Plus, my boy Mikey wrote this song with Ashton too, so it already makes it better. However, not only are these lyrics amazing and the song great live, but the music is well played and well executed.
14. Mrs All American (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): My second favorite song of their album. I jam to this at least twice a week. The beginning of this song makes me dance in the first few notes and the rest of the song keeps me dancing. I'm dancing while writing this actually. Plus, Mikey and Cal wrote this song, so I'm so there.
15. Never Be (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): This song has a great message that I love so much. And the lyrics of this song are so great and so true. I just really really like this song. It makes me want to belt it out with wind blowing my hair everywhere in a long gown on a cliff. You know, like the music videos.
16. Voodoo Doll (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): My favorite version of this song is a Youtube one called One Mic, One Take. It's acoustic and it's just really really good. Plus, they all look so different then they do now. This song really showcases their amazing vocals, and that Youtube video showcases them even more. Had to put this song in their just for that video. Click here for the video!
17. Social Casualty (5 Seconds of Summer; 2014): This song makes me smile. That's about it. It's not my favorite, but I like it more than other songs. (But I love all their songs, let's be real.) Anyway, I thought I should at least mention it in this post because it's a pretty good song. Plus, there's some teen angst in there and I'm all about that.
