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

Remember that trip we took in Mexico?
Yeah, hanging with the boys and all your señoritas
I never spoke up, yeah, I never said, "Hello,"
But I keep on trying to find a way to meet ya
Yeah
I was chillin', you were with him
Hooked up by the fire
Now he's long gone
I'm like, "So long."
Now I got my chance
Now I, now I got my chance
Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
You could be the one that'll break me
Damn
All them other girls said they had enough
You could be the one that'll take me
I was solo,
Living Yolo
'Til you blew my mind
Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
I can't let you, can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
I can't let you pass me by
I was tryna play too cool to get caught up
Like, too fun, too young to fall to pieces
I know a girl like you can't ever get enough
So I'm addicted, trippin', tryna get you to see this
The way I need you, like I'm see-through
Dancing out my pants
Got you shooken, caught you looking
Now I got my chance
Now I, now I got my chance
Like damn
You could be the one that could mess me up
You could be the one that'll break me
Damn
All them other girls said they had enough
You could be the one that'll take me
I was solo,

I can't let you pass me by
It's like
Everywhere I look and everywhere I go
A million other guys keep staring and I know
That I could be yours, and you could be mine
I just can't let you pass me by, by, by
Everywhere I look and everywhere I go
