R5 es una banda estadounidense originaria de Littleton, Colorado. La agrupación se formó en 2009 y está compuesta por los hermanos Riker, Rydel, Rocky y Ross Lynch, junto con su amigo de la infancia Ellington Ratliff. Desde muy pequeños, los Lynch mostraron un interés sustancial por la música y el entretenimiento, participando en diversas competencias de talento y shows escolares. Su amor por la música y el apoyo constante de su familia les permitieron dar los primeros pasos en la industria musical.
En 2009, los hermanos Lynch y Ellington Ratliff decidieron formalizar su pasión y crearon R5. El nombre del grupo tiene una historia sencilla pero significativa: todos los nombres de los miembros de la banda comienzan con la letra "R". La formación inicial incluyó a Riker como vocalista y bajista, Rydel en los teclados, Ross como guitarrista y vocalista, Rocky en la guitarra principal y Ellington en la batería.
En 2010, R5 se mudó a Los Ángeles para perseguir sus sueños en la música y la actuación. Poco después, comenzaron a ganar popularidad en plataformas digitales como YouTube, donde compartían videos de sus canciones y vida cotidiana. Su primer EP, "Ready Set Rock", lanzado de forma independiente en 2010, tuvo una acogida moderada pero importante para completar sus primeros pasos en la industria musical.
El verdadero éxito llegó en 2013 con su primer álbum de estudio, "Louder". Este trabajo discográfico incluyó canciones como "Pass Me By" y

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and you shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, coudn't I, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Everything that kills me
Makes feel alive
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons are learnt
Take that money
Watch it burn
