License This Song 

• I get up, I get down and I'm jumpin' around
  And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now
  Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  So I got an apartment across from the park
  Put quinoa in my fridge, still I'm not feelin' grown
  Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  (Here we go)
  
  So put your best face on, everybody
  Pretend you know this song, everybody
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  I'm way too young to lie here forever
  I'm way too old to try, so whatever
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  
  Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due
  Do my password begin with a one or a two?
  Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to grow
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  (Metronome)
  Man, I'm up to something (up to something), ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
  Thank you all for comin' (all for coming), I hope you like the show
  'Cause it's on a budget, so ooh-dee-la-dee-doh
  Yeah, come on here we go, yeah, come on (here we go)
  
  So put your best face on, everybody
  Pretend you know this song, everybody
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  I'm way too young to lie here forever
  I'm way too old to try, so whatever
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!)
  
  Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinkin' it's time to go
  
  So put your best face on, everybody
  Pretend you know this song, everybody
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  (Here we go)
  
  So put your best face on, everybody
  Pretend you know this song, everybody
  Come hang
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!) (Bang! Bang-bang)
  I'm way too young to lie here forever
  I'm way too old to try, so whatever
  Come hang (come hang)
  Let's go out with a bang
  (Bang! Bang! Bang!)
  (Here we go)

• Sit from Her DeskI always thought that it was some guy who was getting fired from their job and plans to go out in a way no one forgot. I feel like this interpretation is so weird now that I see this, though. Whoops.
• Moe Lester from Discord TownI always thought it sounded more like a suicide than anything.
• Joe from Boston NorthI've been a long time professional Musician and somewhat trying to work with DAW's, but these young gentlemen take it simply to perfection! They are brilliant in their musical talent! I loved "Bang" and the Official Video for quite a while!
• I-love-life from South CarolinaI listened to this song and I think I am now going through my emo/gothic stage, so great
  @Uncle Jon from Home I agree with you.
• Uncle Jon from Homelet's goo out with a bang. BANG BANG BANG
• L from A CityI honestly don't think it sounds all that much like a suicide song during some parts, but I can see what Hayduke's saying about the music being somewhat ominous. I still like the song though, it's got a good rhythm to it. Kinda catchy too.
• Anon from Californiais it just me or is one of them singing almost everything but I LOVE the song
• Ajr Fan from My Play70 bpm
• A from Trontois it just me or did jack just sing the whole song oh and go out with a bang is like they want to die but in love the song
• Sandland from Rock Port Mo This is what the song is about: "We wrote 'BANG!' about the weird middle ground between being a kid and becoming an adult; a time when we're doing all the things adults are supposed to do, but we don't yet feel grown up," the Metzer brothers said in a press release.
• Cj from UsaThis song sounds more like a suicide song than transitioning, but that’s my opinion to the song it’s still a really good song. After listening to it once instantly had to read the lyrics still had the same thought but when I saw the video I was confused for a second a of course why I am here is to find out the true meaning. Once I known what the meaning was then I can see the transitioning.
• Hayduke from DcThe song uses go so often, let’s go out with a bang, and the ominous music, it sounds more like a suicide pact than one last fling of youth.
• Aliyah from Band ClassHow many beats per minute you got
