"Teeth " is a song by Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, released as the second single from the band's forthcoming album and the third season soundtrack of the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why on 21 August 2019.[2][3] The track was written by the band with Ali Tamposi, Ryan Tedder, Andrew Watt and Louis Bell, the latter two of whom produced the song. It features guitar from Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine,[1] and its music video was released the same day.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote that the song "sees the group venturing even further into the industrial sounds and themes the band began to explore with previous release 'Easier'".[4] Rolling Stone described the song as "industrial pop" and noted that it "culls from the same well of brooding, ominous industrial rock and nu-metal that inspired their Nine Inch Nails-inspired 'Easier.'"[1]

Music video

The music video, directed by Thibaut Duverneix, was also released on 21 August. It features the band "subjected to an experiment-gone-wrong resulting in each member's personal hellscape".[4] The video was called "dark" and "creepy" by Rolling Stone.[1]

Promotion

The song was announced on the band's social media on 16 August 2019,[5] along with a 15-second teaser that Alternative Press called "ominous".[6]
