"Don't Stop" is a song by Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer, taken from their self-titled debut album, 5 Seconds of Summer (2014). The song was released on 16 June 2014 through Capitol Records and Hi or Hey Records as the album's second single.

Critical reception

Amy Davidson of Digital Spy gave the song 4/5 stars, stating "Blink-182 may have released their first song long before any of the Aussie four-piece were even born, but that hasn't deterred 5SOS from being the band's loyal understudies. 'Don't Stop' sees them jolting new life into an otherwise flagging pop punk genre, charging ahead as leaders of the revival."[1] It is also described as a power pop track.[2]

Chart performance

The song debuted at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, selling 80,022 copies, 3,000 copies behind Ella Henderson's "Ghost".[3]

Music video

A lyric video for the single was released on 5 May 2014 through the band's Vevo channel. The official music video was released two weeks later on 19 May 2014 at a total length of three minutes and 38 seconds. It features each band member dressed as a superhero, trying to save and do good deeds to people. Calum Hood is Cal-Pal, Ashton Irwin is SmAsh!, Michael Clifford is Mike-Ro-Wave, and Luke Hemmings is Dr. Fluke.
