It's finally happening!
It's now official and we're getting super damn hyped! 5 Seconds Of Summer are about to bless us with brand new music for the first time in forever and now we're sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for Friday.
We know that the internet isn't always the most reliable place, but when the lads shared their new artwork on Instagram recently it was all the confirmation we'd ever needed!

Taking to the Gram, the band shared the artwork for a single called 'Want You Back' alongside a release date on 23rd February 2018.
The guys had been teasing a date online and many fans thought that was when new music would be released, but instead the guys released the artwork and it didn't go down too well with some fans...

But 5SOS did reveal the lyrics to their brand new tune so you can get to grips with 'Want You Back' ahead of its release this Friday...
5 Seconds Of Summer 'Want You Back' Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can't help but wondering if this is the last time that I'll see your face
Is it tears or just the f*****g rain?
Wish I could say something
Something that doesn't sound insane
But lately I don't trust my brain
You tell me I won't ever change
So I just say nothing
[Chorus]
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
Want you back
[Verse 2]
I remember the freckles on your back
And the way I used to make you laugh
Cause you know every morning I wake up
Yeah, I still reach for you
I remember the roses on your shirt
When you told me this would never work
You know even when I say I've moved on
Yeah, I still dream for you
[Chorus]
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
Want you back
[Pre-Chorus]
You know even when I say I moved on
You know even though I know that you're gone
All I think about is where I went wrong
[Chorus]
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
No matter how long you're gone, I'm always gonna want you back
I know you know I will never get over you
No matter where I go, I'm always gonna want you
Back
Want you back
[Outro]
Always gonna want you back
Want you back
Always gonna want you back
Want you back
Fans had been getting excited about new music from 5SOS for a while after Michael shared the number 3 on his Insta Stories, but there were a few other big hints too. Here's all the evidence that had us predicting the return of 5SOS...
Michael's Instagram Story
For many fans this was the most important piece of evidence in this list and was as close to proof that we were gonna get to suggest 5SOS's album 3 is ready.
Michael shared the number 3 in his recent Insta Stories and it sent the fandom into a complete frenzy, also seeing #5SOS3ISCOMING trending worldwide!

we don't even know the album's name
we don't know a thing about the album besides we're going to get it #1
and we are trending worldwide already, only legends.#5SOS3ISCOMING
Michael's Cryptic Tweet
This one sent us into a total confusion overload. Firstly Michael tweeted ‘really really early in 2018’ which obviously sparked our attention.

But then when a fan replied saying 'michael don't reply if something is dropping tomorrow' the 5SOS lad replied 'lol', so did this mean that there's no new music soon or that we just have to wait a little longer for it? Thankfully now we know!
lol

This Totally Scientifically Accurate Equation
Well if this didn't prove the lads were coming back with new music then we don't know what else would have tbh!

We can't wait to hear the guys' new anthem and see the fan reaction to what will undoubtedly be a huge moment for the music scene in 2018.
