On “No Shame”, 5SOS sings about infatuation the current society has molded to seek fame and attention on the internet, and real life. The song is their first single of 2020, and acts as the third single for the band’s upcoming album, CALM, announced on the same day of the track’s release.
The track...
[Verse 1: Luke]
Angel, with the gun in your hand
Pointin' my direction, givin' me affection
Love is fatal, won't you give it a chance?
Center of attention, don't you ask me any questions
[Pre-Chorus: Luke, Luke & Ashton]
Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be somethin' you regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down
[Chorus: All]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
[Verse 2: Luke]
Lay me in the palm of your hand
I'll give you my permission, you'll always be forgiven
Go on, replace me
When you're cravin' somethin' sweeter than the words I left in your mouth
Go on and spit me out
[Chorus: All]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
[Post-Chorus: All, Luke]
I love the way you're screaming my name
I love the way you're screaming my name
[Bridge: Luke, Luke & Ashton]
Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be somethin' you regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down
[Chorus: All]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
[Post-Chorus: All, Luke]
I love the way you're screaming my name
I love the way you're screaming my name

To correspond the main idea of the song and part of lyric, the music video shows off infatuation the current society have mold to seek fame and attention on internet and real life.
Each respective members of 5SOS have illustrated one form of abnormal social behaviour:

It was so much fun collaborating with the guys on this video. They fearlessly dove into each scene and trusted me to deliver a visual with this much punch. It’s something different for all of us and I’m excited with how it turned out

I think we made it clear that although it is kind of a snapshot of how we see society and how a lot of people can see it, that we’re all a part of it and we’re not pointing a finger at people. Everything is online.
On a March 2021 Instagram livestream, drummer Ashton Irwin explained:
I thought this was the best song on CALM. The concept’s been done a million times. You know, becoming so one-dimentional and addicted to the way the world works right now, celebrity and all that evil gross stuff. Remaining pure t...
This song is one of my favourite songs that we’ve ever written. This song outgrew from a live instrumental track that we’ve made with producer Andrew Watt, we created the track with guitar, keys, bass and drums, all live recorded in Andrew’s studio, and then we wrote the top line with Ali Tamposi.
