Is it lonely where you are?
All the way across the room
With a knife inside your heart
I feel it, too, mm
Is it just the way we are?
Always burnin' through the roof
Oh, I guess only the stars would know the truth, mm
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Calum]
I'd die for you, I'd die for you, I'd die for you (For you)
I tried for you, I tried for you, I tried
But all I hear is
[Chorus: Luke]
All the things you said in my head
Ricochetin' off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my god, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're goin' 'round again
In an еmotional blender
All the things you said in my hеad
Ricochetin' off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my god, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're goin' 'round again
In an emotional blender
But we just can't keep away
When you know me like you do
It's supernatural, got me howlin' at the moon
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Calum]
I'd die for you, I'd die for you, I'd die for you (For you)
I tried for you, I tried for you, I tried
But all I hear is
[Chorus: Luke]
All the things you said in my head
Ricochetin' off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my god, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're goin' 'round again
In an emotional blender
All the things you said in my head
Ricochetin' off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my god, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're goin' 'round again
In an emotional blender
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
[Outro: Luke]
All the things I said in my head
Ricochetin' off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my god, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're goin' 'round again
In an emotional blender
About
“BLENDER” is the fourth single on 5SOS5, which is 5 Seconds of Summer’s fifth studio album. This song sees the band exploring a different instrument: It’s their first song to feature the tenor saxophone.
On March 20, 2022, the band teased the title of the song, with drummer Ashton Irwin revealing — on both the interview on March 20th and a tweet posted a day later — that the track is actually his favourite from 5SOS5.
“BLENDER” was first performed in Washington DC, on July 5th, 2022 as a part of their Take My Hand Tour.
The single was surprise dropped on July 13, 2022 alongside a visualizer on YouTube. Its official music video was announced via 5 Seconds of Summer’s social medias on July 26, 2022, to be released on the following day.

“BLENDER” was made toward the end of the album process. It was one of those feelings of going in for something specific and we got exactly what we wanted, and that’s not always the case. This was the first time working with Peter Thomas and Jake Torrey. So thankful to Pete for writing this bassline, but playing it and singing it takes it to another level. This song feels closer to Youngblood and CALM and I think it really carries that over to 5SOS5.

I think the inspiration behind that song is to capture the in-betweens of what it is to be like in a relationship that can have a negative personal effect on you, and how, over time, you can have a reflection on that, in which can really affect your own state of mind and how you carry out your own life, and how it can almost leave an everlasting impression on you and have more of an influence on you, in which, emotionally, it shouldn’t. And that’s just reflecting on those moments.
