[Intro: All]
Wildflower
Wildflower
[Verse 1: Calum]
I hear you callin' out my name
I love the sound, I love the taste
And I can see it in your face
You've got a side you can't explain
[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
You're tellin' me, you're tellin' me, you're tellin' me you wanna come over
You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be closer
I love it when you wear your hair down over your shoulder
'Cause I wanna hold ya
'Cause I know where tonight is going
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin'
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
[Verse 2: Calum]
I see the colour in your veins
It makes me smile, it makes me shake (Ooh)
I see the shadow in my brain
And I like its look, and I like its shape (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: Calum]
You're tellin' me, you're tellin' me, you're tellin' me you wanna come over
You wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be, you wanna be closer
I love it when you wear your hair down over your shoulder
'Cause I wanna hold ya
'Cause I know where tonight is going
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin'
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
[Bridge: All]
(Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower (Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower
Wildflower (Ooh, ooh)
Wildflower
[Chorus: Calum, All]
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You're the only one who makes me
Every time we
Tell you what I like
My wildflower
You know you are my favourite fantasy (Wildflower)
A fatal love song
Waterfall is overflowin' (Wildflower)
You're the only one who makes me (Wildflower)
Every time we (Wildflower)
Tell you what I like
My wildflower

As wildflower is slowing being released all over the world, man…. all we can say is this song is a Frankenstein of everything we love about music, we really hope you dig this one 🌸
Yes! 5SOS released a video on YouTube of Calum breaking down the track:
This is the lighter side of the album. It’s a step forward for us in that it’s not so dark—we can do this big stadium vocal but also have it be a big, positive, euphoric anthem and not be lame.
On a March 2021 Instagram livestream, drummer Ashton Irwin explained:
So, now the record starts to transform into a lighter tone. When you’re making a record, you need to realize, it’s like a big pie, but it needs to have different flavors to keep people wanting to eat the pie. So, you know, we’ve...
On an interview with Q99.7 Atlanta, the drummer of the band, Ashton Irwin, explained:
We had a package arrived on our driveways and we brought it inside – it was sterilized -, I had a camera and a plastic bag and I had a green screen that was 5ft long and 5 printouts of directions: how to use the c...
We were a bit hesitant to put this song on the album, just because it was so different, so unique, we’d never really written in that specific style before. This one is just about abundance with a special someone, the highs and the lows and, no matter what it is, you’re there for it.
