[RABU 19 NOV 25]

Here are some of the most interesting things the band has said (or that journalists have reported) about Everyone’s A Star!:

1. Luke Hemmings on the Album’s Spirit

• Luke said: “We were teenagers at the beginning of 5 Seconds of Summer. … As time goes on, you tend to get a bit more cautious about what you say, but I think this record has more of our original spirit — but with 15 years of wisdom and a dash of reckless abandon.” 

• On “NOT OK,” he described it as pulling out “those sides of us … we pull those sides out of each other.” 

2. Creative Process

• The band worked with Jason Evigan (known for pop hits) and Julian Bunetta (Pop + rock) to shape different parts of the album, which explains the sonic variety. 

• According to Next Wave Magazine, the album “feels like a declaration: this is who 5SOS are now.” 

• The “fully evolved” deluxe version (with extra tracks) shows they thought of this album as a major chapter / rebirth — not just another record, but a redefinition.

3. Personal Growth & Life Changes

• The band members’ personal growth has clearly impacted the album. In the news about their tour announcement, they mention how fatherhood, marriage, and life outside fame shaped their outlook. 

• According to Roar News, “Jawbreaker” was co-written by Luke and his wife Sierra — that’s a pretty intimate, real-life tie-in to the album’s themes of love, vulnerability, and identity.
