"We probably would've made forty, fifty songs for this next album – and yeah – it's been such an incredible process," he told Marvin.

He revealed that the four of them have been figuring out a new sound and have had the freedom to experiment with more unconventional methods – we can't wait to hear!

5SOS said they wanted to "push our own little lane' in relation to the genre-subversive music they put out.
