It was clear 5 Seconds Of Summer were up to no good when they posed for mugshots on the cover of new single "Good Girls." The band then confirmed it by teasing the chaotic video, which was filmed in an abandoned prison as boys are trouble. and the cinematic music video is a hugely enjoyable romp that finds the guys being hired by a reform school to soothe the students with their "classical music," while trying to calm some delinquent girls from boredom.
The Aussie rockers sure know how to keep fans on their toes. They hammed it up in their performance-based "She Looks So Perfect" video before taking a sweet, nostalgic approach to "Amnesia." With its girls-behind-bars theme and camp flair, "Good Girls," the fourth single from the Australian band's self-titled debut album, is the band's most ambitious and exciting offering yet.
Speaking about the song, the band's guitarist Michael Clifford said: "It was one of the first songs that me and Ashton wrote. We wrote it with a guy called Roy Stride, he's from Scouting for Girls, a guy called Josh Wilkinson and a guy called George Tizzard and... Rick Astley. Roy came to us with the lyric 'good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught' and at first it didn't strike to me." the drummer Ashton Irwin added: "It didn't strike to him, but I was like 'Roy, you're a genius.'"
Shot at Lincoln Heights Jail (an old prison that closed in 1965) in Los Angeles, the clip shows the Australian four-piece pretend to be classical musicians, hired by the director of a prison facility where "bad girls" are held and asked to soothe and calm some delinquent divas in the “Reform School for Bad Girls” with classical musical. But, instead of soothing the girls in a clever twist, these boys play a beat that only further corrupts the girls behind bars. Check out the rebellious clip below.
