It’s the things unsaid that echo the loudest. Calum Hood, the acclaimed bassist of global sensation 5 Seconds Of Summer, steps further into his solo spotlight with Call Me When You Know Better. From his debut album ORDER chaos ORDER, arriving June 13 via Capitol Records, the single marks a turning point in Calum’s creative journey. The track is a raw, soul-stirring track, blending introspective lyricism with ambient electronic textures and earthy instrumentation. It's where regret, realization, and vulnerability collide in a heartfelt apology disguised as a love letter. Calum had to say:
‘Call Me When You Know Better’ is a reflection on mistakes made, perpetual regret, and self-pity. It’s about thoughts that talk over each other, about the chaos of trying to be better but not quite knowing how.
"ORDER chaos ORDER" is Calum’s first solo offering after 14 years and 7 billion global streams with 5SOS, and it’s already shaping up to be a defining moment for the artist. The music video for “Call Me When You Know Better” offers a visual window into Calum’s conflicted psyche, one where memory and meaning blur under the weight of unspoken feelings. Working with collaborators like Day Wave’s Jackson Phillips, David Burris, and hitmakers TMS, Calum has forged a sound that feels as delicate as it is brave.
