We've all been there, right? You're wearing your traditional 1970's mood ring, you look down, see your color, and hopelessly wonder what to do next. I'm the gal to help you get the job done.
The band 5 Seconds of Summer has been my favorite band since before I even got my period. I've been bleeding for years now, so I think I'm fair in saying that I know my stuff. I'm an expert on most things 5SOS, so finding a song to accompany your mood will be easy peasy.
There are seven colors on the traditional 1970's mood ring: black, gray, amber, green, blue-green, blue, and purple. With each color that appears, I have your playlist. So rub your hands together and get listening!
Black: Songs for when you're sad

Is your mood ring accurately representing your complete sadness over a breakup? Cheer up buttercup (or cry,) and listen to these 5SOS songs and let Luke and the other boys' voices smooth over your pain.

"Story of Another Us"
"Close as Strangers"
"Everything I Didn't Say"
"Wherever You Are"
"Invisible"
"Lie to Me"
"Broken Home"

Take a chill pill. Everything is going to work out fine. Let these songs soothe you, and you'll be bopping around a little bit to make you feel better.
"If These Walls Could Talk"
"Empty Wallets"
"Best Friend"

"Waste the Night"
"Airplanes"
"Beside You"

Amber: Songs for when you're stuck
Giphy
SO MANY 5SOS songs fit into this category, it's actually insane. So, if for some reason you're feeling nervous or have mixed emotions, you won't be stuck on which songs to listen to. What I interpret the mood ring means by "stuck" is almost conflicted or trapped. Hopefully, these songs can help you escape and feel less claustrophobic.
"Castaway"
"Hey Everybody"
"Moving Along"
"Heartache on the Big Screen"
"Social Casualty"
"Monster Among Men"
"Out of my Limit"
"Jet Black Heart"
"The Space Between a Rock and a Hard Place"
"Too Late"
"Talk Fast"
"Easier"
"Gotta Get Out"
"Daylight"
"The Girl Who Cried Wolf"
"Disconnected"
"Youngblood"
"If You Don't Know"
Green: Songs for when you're chill n vibin'

What comes to mind for me when I think chill is the calm emoji and the little leaf sprig emoji. These are songs I would hammock to on campus in Emereti Park on a cool, sunshine filled day. Add these to your next hammock sesh playlist.
"Broken Pieces"
"Midnight"
"When You Walk Away"
"Long Way Home"
"Catch Fire"
"Lost Boy"

Anytime is a good time to listen to 5 Seconds of Summer, but I'm biased. That's why this article is only a SUGGESTION as to what you should listen to, based on the decision your mood ring makes for you.
