Bloodhound is the 18th song on 5SOS5, and is the 4th deluxe track. A bloodhound is a dog known for its unique ability to smell things, and is sometimes used for finding people or hunting animals. This song draws similarities to drummer Ashton Irwin’s Greyhound, which appears on his debut solo album “Superbloom,” by using the attributes of a particular dog breed to tell a story.
Bloodhound details a destructive relationship with the hedonistic side of fame, particularly in the realm of nightlife. While the narrator is aware the relationship exists, he doesn’t care to change or walk away from it because of how pleasurable it is.
