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.
Starting Over
R5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't round here waiting for me anymore (anymore)
Oh, anymore
I'm onto something new
What I had before is out the door and it just won't do
Gonna switch it up to a different view (hey), hoo hoo
Gotta change it up, turn around
Cause I know what I need and now, I'm getting it now
Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder
I'm starting over
I've been getting nowhere
And getting there fast
Then a voice in my head said "you can't let this last"
It's all in your past
Sometimes you gotta take a chance, take a risk
Find out everything out there that you've missed
And start over
Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder (ooh yeah)
I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm dreaming of something new
Oh, and how we'll go, only you will do
I'm starting over, starting over
Starting over, yeah
