5SOS' Ashton Irwin Announces Solo Album, Debuts First Single 'Skinny Skinny'

Ashton Irwin is releasing his own album!

The 26-year-old 5 Seconds of Summer singer announced his new solo album Superbloom on Wednesday (September 23).

Ashton also released his debut single “Skinny Skinny,” along with the music video.

“The Skinny Skinny MV, directed by myself and @jadeehlers faces and fights back against the demon that lives in the mirror,” he wrote on Instagram about the video. “I wanted to capture what it feels like to struggle not feeling at home in your own body. This is a video of battle, footage of the fight, a snapshot of resilience. I hope you find this video empowering.”

Ashton‘s new album will have 10 tracks that make up a “deeply personal, evocative and uncompromising” album, while “exploring his childhood, alcoholism, depression, body dysmorphia, death, addiction, despair and hope,” according to Billboard.


Ashton Irwin – ‘Skinny Skinny’

It is with a great explosion of joy and with my entire soul that I am proudly announcing to you all that I am releasing my first solo record. The album explores my inner philosophies and feelings about the walk of life I have found myself on. I’m ridiculously excited to share this with you, it feels like this record has been over a decade in the making. It brings me the greatest joy of all that I am in a band that allows me to create freely inside and outside of it. I can’t wait for you to hear it. You can pre-order my debut solo album ‘Superbloom’ out October 23rd everywhere tonight. Pre-save now from the link in my profile. The first single “Skinny Skinny” is out everywhere tonight at 9pm PT. We must fight against a common darkness that shadows our ability to live truthfully, to live without self doubt, and without self destruction and love ourselves for what we are. When writing “Skinny Skinny” I first thought of myself, and many other young peoples struggles with body image and particularly body dysmorphia. It’s something I’ve never confronted in a creative form and I am feeling strong in saying “Skinny Skinny” goes directly to that painful place in my mind.
