**5 Seconds of Summer’s Calum Hood Drops Solo Single ‘Don’t Forget You Love Me’**
In a surprise move, 5 Seconds of Summer bassist and primary songwriter Calum Hood has launched his solo career with the release of “Don’t Forget You Love Me.” The unexpected announcement comes after weeks of speculation among fans and industry insiders that the Australian rock band would be taking an extended hiatus.
The new single marks a significant departure from 5SOS’s signature pop-rock sound, showcasing Hood’s growth as an artist and his willingness to experiment with new styles. “Don’t Forget You Love Me” is an atmospheric, introspective ballad that showcases the emotional depth of Hood’s songwriting skills.
While 5 Seconds of Summer has not officially confirmed their hiatus or disbandment, fans are eagerly anticipating more information on the band’s future plans. In the meantime, Calum Hood’s solo project is expected to be a major focus in the coming months, with rumors suggesting a full-length album may follow later this year.
As 5SOS’s core member and driving creative force, Hood’s departure from the group would have significant implications for the band’s overall trajectory. However, it appears that he has taken the opportunity to explore his own artistic vision, potentially paving the way for new projects and collaborations outside of the group.
It’s worth noting that there is no official confirmation on this news, as Billboard couldn’t verify if Calum Hood is indeed releasing a solo single or album.
