5 Seconds of Summer turn to skeletons in the new video for “Valentine,” off their chart-topping new album, Youngblood.
The video, which features the band members’ largely disembodied heads singing the lyrics against a black backdrop, interspersed with images of balloons, cherry pie, and skeletons, was directed by 5SOS’ Ashton Irwin and photographer, Andy DeLuca.
Watch the video above.
“Collaboration has always been one of the key most important things about 5 Seconds Of Summer since day one and co-directing the video with Andy was an incredible and very fluid experience,” Irwin said in a statement. “There are a few things we wanted to capture; the androgyny and the feminine element of the way Luke performs as well as the dark romance of the song. This video is us taking something into our own hands and attempting to be a part of every single detail of what we create.”
5SOS are currently on the road for their North American Meet You There Tour — a 25-city headline outing that was initially scheduled to stop in Charlotte on Sept. 16. However, due to Hurricane Florence, the show was postponed until Sept. 20 and moved to PNC Music Pavilion.
