"Wildflower" is a song by Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, released on 25 March 2020 as the fifth single from the band's fourth studio album Calm.[1][2] The song was written by Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin, Michael Clifford, Geoff Warburton, Oscar Gorres and Rami Yacoub.

Reception

Chris Payne of Billboard said, "The fifth single off Calm takes root in the flashy '80s touches that have served the Aussie quartet well in the past. Booming drumbeats, psychedelic harmonies, and synthy karate chops abound."[3]

In a review of the album, David from auspOp said "'Wildflower' is the most pop-centric these boys sound on the album... it's an addictively good song."[4]

Background

Talking about the song, Calum hood said, "We wanted to make the chorus kind of a choose-your-own-adventure, where some words are left out and then accentuated by these big stabs of synth. It lets everyone come up with their own interpretation, and fill in whatever they think those missing lyrics might be."[5][6]
