Kick off the era with “Everyone’s A Star!,” the title track and opener from 5 Seconds of Summer’s sixth studio album of the same name, set to drop November 14, 2025, via Republic Records. Announced alongside the chaotic lead single “NOT OK” on September 24, this 12-song project pulls from the band’s teenage roots but layers in 15 years of sharp insight, as Luke Hemmings put it in their Rolling Stone chat. Recorded across Los Angeles and Nashville in 2024 and 2025, it’s their first under the new label, embracing that boy-band tag while diving into pop stardom’s wild underbelly – think parasocial vibes and digital-age heartaches, all wrapped in high-energy pop-rock.
Debuted live at a surprise West Hollywood pop-up on September 25, the track captures that strobe-lit rush of feeling invincible, with Hemmings’ vocals soaring over dreamy synths and driving guitars. Lines like “Everyone’s a star, baby, it’s a dream” hit as a nod to the band’s own journey, where each member shines solo but together they’re unstoppable, echoing the reckless abandon of early hits like “She Looks So Perfect” but with wiser edges. Fans on X are already looping fan-captured clips, praising the harmonies and that pre-chorus plea to “stay,” tying it to the album’s arc of chasing highs amid the haze. From “Telephone Busy” to “Boyband,” the setlist promises that original spirit with a fresh twist, making this opener a perfect gateway to 5SOS’s next chapter. Dive into the Everyone’s A Star! lyrics below and unpack its euphoric glow. Don’t miss other tracks like NOT OK for more of 5 Seconds of Summer’s bold pop-rock fire.

Lyrics of Everyone’s A Star! by 5 Seconds of Summer
[Intro: Luke]
Crazy Man, He Went In The Booth
Didn’t Get Any Notes Wrong
That’s The Story We’ll Tell
[Verse 1: Luke]
Who Made You The Preacher?
Oh, Well, Carry On
Blue Light Killed The Dreamer
Somewhere In The Dark
Under Anaesthesia
Numbin’ Of The Heart
Strobe Lights And Broken Speakers
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
I Wanna Stay
I Wanna Stay
I Wanna Stay
[Chorus: Luke]
Everyone’s A Star
Baby, It’s A Dream
Show Me Who You Are
I Wanna Feel You Breathe
Take Me In Your Arms
You’re Something Superior
Everyone’s A Star, A Star, A Star
[Post-Chorus: Luke]
(Everyone’s, Everyone’s, Everyone’s)
[Verse 2: Luke]
Someone Call The Dealer
Feelin’ Like A God
I’ve Been Dyin’ To Reach Ya
Take Me In Your Arms
When I’m Lookin’ At You
Can You Fill My Heart?
I’m Never Gonna Leave Ya
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Michael]
I Wanna Stay (I Wanna Stay)
I Wanna Stay (I Wanna Stay)
I Wanna Stay
[Chorus: Luke, All]
Everyone’s A Star
Baby, It’s A Dream (Hey)
Show Me Who You Are
I Wanna Feel You Breathe (Hey)
Take Me In Your Arms (Arms)
You’re Something Superior
Everyone’s A Star, A Star, A Star
[Bridge: All]
Livin’ In The Glitter, Baby, I Don’t Feel A Thing
Everythin’ Is Better When I Don’t Know What It Means
Eating Gum For Dinner And I’m Smilin’ Through My Teeth (Smilin’ Through My Teeth)
Everythin’ Is Better When You’re Lyin’ Next To Me
[Chorus: Luke, All]
Everyone’s A Star (Star)
Baby, It’s A Dream (Hey)
Show Me Who You Are
I Wanna Feel You Breathe (Hey; Wanna Feel You Breathe)
Take Me In Your Arms (Arms)
You’re Something Superior
Everyone’s A Star, A Star, A Star, A Star
[Outro: All, Luke]
Star
(Everyone’s A) Star
(Everyone’s A) Star
(Everyone’s A)
(Everyone’s A) Star
(Everyone’s, Everyone’s, Everyone’s)
Everyone’s A Star
