– New Release “La Bezzaf” Drops Today
Following a string of thrilling releases and summertime projects, the season is far from over for The5.
“La Bezzaf” (Moroccan slang used when something is a bit too much to handle) was penned as a lighthearted account of finally trying to confront “that girl next door”. It represents a mixture of the band members’ regional and international influences, and marks the next leap in progression of The5’s music.
With its blend of various musical styles, a mature sound and lyrics and music written by the band members themselves, the song features a playful Moroccan vibe, an unforgettable, infectious hook, and all of the boys’ own dialects – making it truly accessible to everyone across the region!
The new single is accompanied by a unique music video, and is as fun and engaging as its melody. Merging real footage with 2D animation and directed by the talented Fares Sokhon, the clip follows the band as they make their way through the backstreets of Beirut, cheekily taking their audience on the chase for the girl, and offering a glimpse into each of their own personalities along the way. Recorded in Sweden earlier this year, Beirut and Stockholm teams collaborated together to get the right mix for what promises to be The5’s biggest single of 2016.
“La Bezzaf” dropped on all streaming platforms, radio and TV stations today, with the music video premiering on Vevo at 09:00 AM UAE time.
The5 have recently dropped their YouTube series, “The5Fridays” on their channel, The5 Official. Fans will get to follow the band around as they go on tour, hit the gym and sing songs by the ocean.
Fivers will also get the chance to see their favorite quintet live, as The5 are also set to perform at Beats On The Beach on Friday 25th of November as part of Yasalam 2016 in Abu Dhabi, delivering a scorching set that will include their new hit.

Last week, The5 were in Dubai as part of the Clean & Clear #SeeTheRealMe initiative which circles around empowering young girls across the region and giving them a chance to voice out their talents.
The5 spent a week with the winners of Clean & Clear’s lyric writing competition, #Write4The5 that was launched earlier this year. Winners, 14-year-old Zaynab and 12-year-old Thalia were given the chance to collaborate with The5 to write their new single.
“We just want all our fans and everyone in the Middle East to not be scared or be afraid. If you have talent, if you have anything to show to the people, you have to do it. Don’t be afraid, don’t be shy, just do it,” said band member, Ahmed.
