As a matter of fact, Drag Me Down is nearly pure pop and more mature than most of their previous singles.
The song is all about a nice bass line, catchy hooks and melodies and a good pop production. Drag Me Down tries to get away from their previous teen Pop/Rock sound. As the first single without Zayn Malik, this song is supposed to introduce a new era for One Direction, not only in terms of the band itself but also musically. “Drag Me Down” is the lead single to One Direction’s fifth album. She’s Kinda Hot is good, in fact probably their best song, but it still has a lot of flaws – which is okay, there’s always room for improvement. 5SOS are also the only Group to really pull off this teen-Punk Pop thing, and it’s working for them. My girlfriend’s bitchin’ ’cause I always sleep in, She’s always screamin’ when she’s calling her friend, She’s kinda hot though, Yeah, she’s kinda hot though”īut even then, the song is catchy and perfectly fitting for their core audience.
The song’s biggest weakness are its lyrics. Even though 5SOS are technically not a boy band but more of a Punk/Pop Group, the majority of their fans are teens and kids, but it is impressive that they have managed to stick with their sound. But with songs like She’s Kinda Hot it also doesn’t seem like they’re trying to get away from their boyband image. That this single sounds like a Good Charlotte song tailored for teens is therefore not very surprising. She’s Kinda Hot was in fact co-written by some members of 5SOS but more importantly in collaboration with Benji Madden and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte. She’s Kinda Hot is pretty much the standard single for “Aussie” Punk Pop band 5 Seconds Of Summer (5SOS). Pre-mature Punk/Pop vs sort of semi-adult Pop? But which teen act delivered the better single? The two reigning teen-pop boybands/groups.
