Ignite your inner metamorphosis with “Evolve,” the pulsating 10th track on 5 Seconds of Summer‘s bold sixth studio album EVERYONE’S A STAR!, blasting off November 14, 2025, via Republic Records—their first since the introspective grooves of 2022’s 5SOS5. The Sydney-born pop-rock quartet—Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin, and Michael Clifford—channel 15 years of fame’s fire into this anthem of growth, self-produced in LA and Nashville alongside hitmakers like Jason Evigan. Building on their arc from YouTube covers that caught One Direction’s eye in 2013 to Billboard chart dominators with Youngblood’s heartbreak hooks, “Evolve” fuses punchy guitars, soaring choruses, and electronic edges into a sonic diary of shedding old skins.
At the heart of EVERYONE’S A STAR!’s 12-track saga of stardom’s double-edged sword—kicking off with the explosive title track and fueled by lead single “Not OK“‘s mental health rawness—this cut threads the album’s motif of reckless reinvention, mirroring the parasocial angst of “No. 1 Obsession” and the self-aware satire in “Boyband.” Fans who’ve headbanged to CALM’s confessional pop or vibed to 5SOS5’s maturity will find “Evolve” as a rallying cry, blending 2010s nostalgia with 2025’s edge. Dive into the Evolve lyrics below and embrace the band’s transformative fire. Don’t miss other EVERYONE’S A STAR! tracks like “Not OK” for more of their pop-rock renaissance.

Lyrics of Evolve by 5 Seconds of Summer
[Verse 1: Ashton]
Angel Above Me You’ve Been Callin’ Me A Lowlife
You Take My Money And You Spend It On A Power Trip
You Keep On Sayin’ That I Gotta Get My Soul Right
You Wanna Hold Me, But I Gotta Get A Grip
[Refrain: Luke, Calum]
But I Wanna Have Fun
I Wanna Get High
I Wanna Get Drunk
When You Gonna Grow Up?
I Wanna Do Drugs
I Wanna Make Love
I Wanna Get Fucked
When You Gonna Grow Up?
Get A Pink Limousine
Creme De La Creme
You Know What I Mean
I Know You Can Make Me
A Man From A Monkey
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Ashton]
So You’re Movin’ On (So You’re Movin’ On)
But I’m Beggin’ You To (But I’m Beggin’ You To)
Wait For Me (Wait For Me)
Wait For Me (Wait For Me)
On The Other Side (On The Other Side)
When The Honey Hits You (When The Honey Hits You)
Wait For Me (Wait For Me)
Wait For Me (Wait For Me)
Wait For Me (Goddamn)

I Know That I Lost All, Lost All Control
I Know That I Got To, I Got To Evolve

To Lo-lo-lo-lo-love You, I Got To Evolve
[Verse 2: Calum]
Don’t Get Me Wrong, I Know It’s Hard To Love Me
‘Round And Around, An Emotional Junkie
Chill, Baby, Chill, I’m Just Late To The Party
I Know You Can Make Me A Man From A Monkey
[Refrain: Luke, Calum]
