Once accessed here, fans are taken to a landing page where they must choose between the CD or cassette. Both products feature the same temporary image that reads โ(PHOTO STILL DEVELOPING).โ Below it, the description says it will be released in 2020 with โmore info coming soon.โ
One fan increased the contrast on the image suggesting it means literally โdevelopingโ like film and the cover is hidden in the background.

Even with this in mind, some are split between it being the name of the album and single or possibly both.

More on 5 Seconds Of Summer
Back in January, just a few months removed from the release of their third full-length Youngblood,ย 5 Seconds Of Summer revealed they hadย already begun work on its follow-up.
Guitaristย Michael Clifford appeared during the Gibson Experience at NAMM 2019 in Anaheim, California. While there, he revealed his new signature guitar, the Melody Maker. The new guitar wasnโt all he shared, however, with Clifford revealing future plans while at the panel.
