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

You were a business, I was a start up
You were like high speed, I was on dial up
I needed caffeine, you were a Starbucks
A Starbucks
(A double-shot)
You were a record, I was a remix
You were the sunshine, I was a rain check
You needed time but you were my Rolex
My Rolex (my Rollie)
I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turn my whole world upside down (two, three, four)
Things are looking up
Things are looking up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are looking up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are looking up
You were a diamond, I was a coal mine
You were a free-way, I was a stop sign
I was a pay check, you're like a gold mine,
A gold mine (money, money)
I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turned my whole world upside down
Things are looking up
Things are looking up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us

Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us

I've been up and I've been down
Girl you make my world go 'round
There's nothin' like the high I found
