Their signature song, “Jessie’s Girl,” was a hit in Japan as well, so I think many people are familiar with it.

5 Seconds of Summer is a pop rock band that took off from Australia to the world.
They first gained attention through their activity on YouTube, and their participation in One Direction’s tour catapulted them to fame.
Their 2014 debut single, “She Looks So Perfect,” became a global hit, and the title track of their album “Youngblood” topped the year-end chart in their home country, among many other achievements.
In 2019, they received the APRA Award for Outstanding International Achievement.
Their sound has evolved from early pop-punk to a polished pop style, and their rich harmonies—thanks to all members taking on vocal duties—captivate listeners.
They’re the perfect group for anyone seeking exhilarating band sounds and catchy melodies.

It’s a track that especially resonates with longtime AC/DC fans while also retaining its own unique character.
