Jawbreaker Lyrics – 5 Seconds of Summer

5 Seconds of Summer have always nailed that rush of young love tangled with rock rebellion, but on Jawbreaker, the closer to their sixth album Everyone’s A Star!, they turn the lens on fame itself with a sharp, sugary bite. Set for release on November 14, 2025, via Republic Records, this 12-track project marks their triumphant return after solo ventures, embracing the boy-band tag they’ve danced around for 15 years. Drawing from the chaotic energy of their 2014 debut but with the depth of grown-up reflections, Everyone’s A Star! dives into parasocial obsessions, digital-age isolation, and the grind of stardom. It’s their way of saying every member’s a force—Luke Hemmings’ soaring vocals, Michael Clifford’s guitar bite, Calum Hood’s bass groove, Ashton Irwin’s drum pulse—all shining brighter than ever.

As track 12, Jawbreaker lands like the perfect hard-candy finisher: tough exterior hiding something vulnerable and addictive. Produced with a nod to their pop-punk roots, it pulses with driving guitars and layered harmonies over lyrics that chew on fleeting highs and bitter aftertastes. It’s got that raw edge from early days—think Sounds Good Feels Good’s growing pains—but sharper now, interrogating how social media turns stars into jawbreakers: shiny, unbreakable on the outside, but one wrong chomp and it shatters. Fans on X are already theorizing it’s a sneaky nod to Waterparks’ unreleased track of the same name, sparking crossover buzz in the scene.

Rolling Stone highlights how they’ve traded naive teen anthems for “constructs of the human condition in the digital age,” making Everyone’s A Star! their most mature yet. If you’re pre-saving the full thing, Jawbreaker promises to stick with you long after the spin. Dive into the Jawbreaker lyrics below and savor that bittersweet crunch. Don’t miss other Everyone’s A Star! tracks like NOT OK or Boyband for more of 5SOS’s evolved pop-rock spark.
