On March 11, 2025, 5 Seconds of Summer fans were buzzing after Calum Hood, the band’s bassist and vocalist, responded playfully on TikTok to a fan’s post referencing lyrics from the band’s 2014 song “Daylight.” The fan wrote, “I’ve got a friend who’s addicted to sci-fi…”—a line from the song’s verse, which describes a sci-fi-obsessed friend offering advice on a toxic relationship. Calum’s cheeky reply, “If I knew how to block u I would,” left fans in stitches, earning 607 likes and showcasing his signature sass.
“Daylight,” part of the band’s EP Amnesia, delves into a vampire-like, tumultuous romance, with Calum’s lyrics adding a quirky sci-fi twist. The interaction highlights the song’s enduring popularity and 5SOS’s strong connection with fans on social media. Since rising to fame opening for One Direction in 2013-2014, the band has maintained a playful online presence, and this moment is a perfect example.
Fans like @peonycth and @ILove5SOS247 praised Calum’s humor, with comments like “He’s so sassy I love him” flooding the thread. The exchange, shared by @Tha5SOSFamily on X, quickly went viral, reminding fans of 5SOS’s knack for blending music and lighthearted banter, keeping their community engaged even years after “Daylight” first dropped.
