In 2009, R5 officially started the band and debuted their YouTube web series, R5 TV, documenting the band's day-to-day life and career beginning. On September 5, they released their first music video, "Without You", directed by Riker. The band self-released a five-track EP entitled Ready Set Rock on March 9, 2010, consisting of songs written primarily by Riker, Rocky, Rydel, vocal coach Mauli B, and band coach E-Vega, who produced the EP.
Since then, they kept their activities until February 1, 2018, when R5 posted on their YouTube a video called The Last Show. Then on March 1, 2018, the band's social networks name changed to "The Driver Era." Announced as a new project, it was a indefinite time hiatus for R5 and the beginning of a new band, "The Driver Era", officially constituted by Ross and Rocky, in order to start again in the industry musical and avoid association with Disney and underestimation by most people. Ellington, Riker and Rydel are also present at the live concerts and some songs that were already in the plans for the R5 to launch will be/were released by The Driver Era, among them "Preacher Man" and "Can You Come Over?". When questioned about the return of R5, members say it is not in the plans, but that no one predicts the future and anything can happen in the current music industry.
Forget About You
R5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear your voice on the radio
Like every single song is about you, uh
Every sec that we spent
Lots of mess stuck up in my head
Got me so distracted and confused
Feels like you crashed into my life
I keep on losin' track of time
I'm so messed up, yeah
I'm so messed up!
I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?
Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you,
Forget about you
Think that it's comin' back
Something about the time we had
Wish that we would've been recordin'
So right, super tight
Can't recall a thing last night
But woke up with a smile in the mornin'
Baby, I think I've lost my mind
Feels like you crashed into my life
I keep on losin' track of time
I'm so messed up, yeah
I'm so messed up!
I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?
Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you
Forget about you
I just can't forget about you (yeah, you, you, you)
Forget about you oh
I just can't forget about you
Which way is up? Which way is down?
Can't stop this room from spinning 'round
I'm floating high, high off the ground
Caught in my head, can't get you out
I can't remember what I did tonight
Or even yesterday
Like, dude, where's my car?
Excuse me, what's my name?
Someone gave me these clothes
I can't remember who
My mind's a total blank
But I just can't forget about you
forget about you
I just can't forget about you
Forget about you
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, oh
Oh, whoa
Oh, oh, oh
The song "Forget About You" by R5 is about the lingering effects of a past relationship that continues to haunt the singer long after it has ended. The lyrics make it clear that the singer is struggling to move on, and that the memories of the relationship are still very much present in their mind. They hear their ex's voice on the radio, they can't stop thinking about them, and they feel as though they've lost their mind as a result of their obsession.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of partying and drinking, as the singer describes waking up the morning after a night of heavy drinking with no memory of what happened. Despite the haziness of their memories, the singer cannot forget about their ex, and continues to be plagued by thoughts of them.
Overall, "Forget About You" is a relatable song that captures the pain of a breakup and the difficulty of moving on.

But woke up with a smile in the mornin'
Despite all this, they woke up feeling good thinking of this person
Which way is up? Which way is down?
They're feeling completely disoriented due to this person's effect on their mind
Can't stop this room from spinning 'round
Feeling like the room is spinning is a physical symptom of their emotional state
I'm floating high, high off the ground
They're feeling ecstatic and caught up in their emotions
Caught in my head, can't get you out
This person is stuck in their thoughts and they can't shake them
Oh, whoa
Expressing amazement and awe
Oh, whoa, oh
Continuing to express amazement and awe
Oh, whoa
Still reeling from their emotions
Oh, oh, oh
Expressing continued confusion and excitement

I was just listening to One Direction!
The ten year anniversary special didn't help either 😂
And they said it was just a phase.....
Yeah, phase = 10 years
(But is Directioners think of 18 months as 5 years so I'll let it slide 😏)
