Background and release
[edit]The song was initially released as an instant download track with the pre-order of the album, but was later released as a single. Describing the song, the band's drummer Ashton Irwin stated: "We loved that new wave could be really melancholy, but also up. It had romanticism and anger, but also energy and colour. That's exactly what we wanted for our new music."[13]
An audio clip of the song was released on 20 April 2018 on the band's official YouTube channel. The video has received over 43 million views as of April 2023.[14]
The song has amassed over 525 million views on its official music video.[15][16]
Critical reception
[edit]"Youngblood" received positive reviews from critics, with Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone describing the song as having a "relentless, thumping rhythm, around which 5 Seconds of Summer move between delicate verses and a booming chorus".[17]
Melodic Magazine praised the song for having "such a fun, catchy beat that had [me] listening to the song practically daily" and that "Youngblood set the tone for the album, showing the band's musical growth over the last few years".[18]
Medium.com labelled the song as "cohesive and strong" and that it was "clear that [5 Seconds of Summer] spent their time honing a craft [that was] overlooked by stereotyping naysayers".[19]

In the United Kingdom, "Youngblood" peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, spending over six months on the chart and becoming their third highest-charting single in Britain behind "She Looks So Perfect" and "Don't Stop", which peaked at number one and number two on the UK Singles Chart in March 2014 and June 2014 respectively. The single was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[29] The single did well in Britain during the summer months, from 1 June to 30 August, and ranked seventh on the Official Charts Company's Top 40 Biggest Song of the Summer 2018,[30] while the music video ranked ninth place on The Official Top 40 songs most streamed on video of 2018 so far.[31] "Youngblood" eventually became the country's 28th-highest-selling single of 2018.[32]

Live performances
[edit]The song was performed live for the first time on 20 March 2018 at the band's concert in Stockholm, Sweden as part of their sold out 5SOS III Tour.[42]
After the song was released as a single, the band performed it on The Voice Australia.[43] They performed a stripped back version of the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on 12 June 2018, and have also performed it during their visits at various other radio stations.[44] On 22 June 2018, they performed it on The Today Show's Summer Concert Series,[45] and on 28 November 2018 at the 32nd Annual ARIA Awards.[46]
In August 2018, the band uploaded a performance to their official YouTube channel, performing "Youngblood" live for their Apple Music documentary titled,"5SOS - On The Record."[47] The live performance amassed over 4 million views.[48]
The song has become a staple of the band's live shows, since debuting on the setlist for the 5SOS III Tour. It was played as the last song of the encore on the Meet You There Tour, and has become the song the band usually closes their sets with. This was also the case, when the band performed at the Fire Fight Australia relief concert on 16 February 2020.[49]
Music video
[edit]An "alternative" music video for the song was released on the band's YouTube channel on 26 April 2018. It is filmed in monochrome and intercuts backstage tour footage with a live performance of the song. As of July 2023, the video has accumulated over 305 million views.[50]
The song's official music video was released on 2 August 2018 while the band was in Japan for their tour. Directed by Frank Borin, the video was filmed in Tokyo and tells the story of an elderly couple in their final moments, given 24 hours to relive their youth (where they are played by Japanese artists "JOHNNY" Daigo Yamashita and Misaki Aono) which then dives into the Japanese Rockabilly culture.[51] As of September 2023, the video has garnered over 218 million views.[52]
