5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford launched his solo career with a single he's dubbed Cool.
The 29-year-old made up one fourth of the Australian pop rock band that rose to fame following the release of their track She Looks So Perfect.
Michael is the third member of the band - that also included Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and Ashton Irwin - to launch a solo career.
He released his debut single Cool on Wednesday and shared the news with his followers on Instagram by posting a music video for the song.
Alongside the video, he wrote a caption that read: "COOL VIDEO OUT NOOOWWWW GOOD LUCK FINDING MY YOUTUBE PAGE LOL".

Michael is also promising an album he's titled Sidequest but hasn't released details of when it will hit shelves.
Speaking about his new song, Michael told NME: "This song speaks for itself, and my hope is that when fans hear the lyrics, they’ll understand me and hopefully themselves a little better.
"I’ve been deliberating on this music long enough, so I can’t wait for everybody to hear it— and ‘cool’ is just the beginning of what’s to come.
"I want this project to make people smile. I’m just out here doing a bunch of sidequests. Now that I’m a dad, everything other than that feels like a sidequest!"

His fellow band members have also launched solo ventures of their own with Ashton Irwin’s 2020 record Superbloom and Luke Hemmings’ 2021 album When Facing The Things We Turn Away From.
It is unclear as to whether the band have officially broken up but there doesn't seem to be any plans for more music as a group any time soon.
