Almost two weeks after unleashing the music video for their latest single, 5 Seconds of Summer are back with the acoustic version of the track. On Friday (April 6), the Australian band shared with fans their simplistic clip for the acoustic version of “Want You Back.” The barely three-minute clip finds the guys arranged in a circle in what appears to be a dimly lit living room.
In the middle of the circle is a camera that pans on each member throughout the video. Much like the music video for the original version of the tune, the guys are illuminated by a rainbow-color of lights. Watch the video for the acoustic version of “Want You Back” above.
The acoustic version of “Want You Back” is currently available on Spotify for streaming.
“Want You Back” is the first single off 5 Seconds of Summer’s much-anticipated third studio album. The new record will reportedly see a release time frame of 2018, though an official title and release date have yet to be announced. At the present time, the band and their fanbase are referring to the new record as “5SOS3.”
In support of the new record, the band announced back in late February that they had plans to hit the road during the spring months for their 5SSO3 World Tour. The complete list of upcoming tour dates can be found here.
Over the past week, the guys from 5 Seconds of Summer have been teasing fans with the promise of a brand new song. Keeping their word, the band released their first new song in almost two years. On Friday (Feb. 23), the Australian band released their brand new tune “Want You Back.” The new track, which clocks in at barely three minutes, introduces the band’s longtime fans to the group’s new sound. Gone are the days of their bratty, teenage, pop hooks (“She Looks So Perfect”) only to be replaced by a more mature sounding band.

“Want You Back” will be featured on the band’s upcoming new record. Though they have yet to formally announce the release date or title for the impending album, the band has been referring to the new record as 5SOS3 on social media. It’s only a matter of time before the band confirms the information that fans have been patiently waiting for.
In support of the new music, 5 Seconds of Summer have also announced a spring tour. The upcoming trek will find the four-piece traveling across the world during the months of March, April, May, and June. The upcoming excursion will kick off on March 20 at the Debaser Strand in Stockholm, Sweden and wrap up almost three months later on June 6 at the Cine Joia in Sao Paolo, Brazil. During the month of April, the guys will stop in North America for a short run beginning on April 8 in Boston and concluding on April 27 in San Francisco.
Tickets for all the shows will go on sale beginning next Friday, March 2.
5 Seconds of Summer’s last studio record was 2015’s Sounds Good Feels Good. The record went on to debut at the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2016, the band provided an original song titled “Girls Talk Boys” for the Ghostbusters soundtrack.
