The past year has been an exciting one for R5 and they don't plan on toning it down anytime soon. The Hollywood Records pop/rock group has returned but is getting into some trouble on the set of their new music video for the indecisive love-crazed new track "Heart Made Up On You," the lead single and title track from their latest third EP, which serves as the first taste of the pop-rock quintet of R5's upcoming sophomore full-length studio album, scheduled to be released on September 30.
It doesn't take much listening to tell that the band's sound has evolved since their last record, which featured pop chart-toppers "Loud" and "(I Can't) Forget About You." Ellington Ratliff, Riker Lynch, Rocky Lynch, Ross Lynch and Rydel Lynch are venturing away from bubble-gum pop in their new material, instead delving into dance-pop with EDM elements, as can be heard in the EP's lead single "Heart Made Up on You." With catchy beats and lyrics, it's possible that this can be the next "(I Can’t) Forget About You."
"Heart Made Up on You," is a ridiculously catchy and radio-friendly yet tune about a very complex relationship with a boy being psychologically hooked on a girl who's no good, and Ross' vocals have certainly grown stronger and matured in this new EP. "Lyrically, behind the song, is the fact that a girl isn't good for you but you still want her. So we took the concept into the video and made it a very literal thing where the girl is basically leading us into a trap. Ross is in love with her, so we're trying to help him out he's there and then it ends up being that she's, was completely bad for him and the fact that we were all right and we shouldn't have been involved with her in the first place," Riker explained in an interview.
The gritty crime setup is an unexpected as R5 get involved in an epic heist in the "Heart Made Up on You" video, which fits perfectly with the message of song. What better way to showcase that than with a double-crossing hope-to-be girlfriend? The video, which plays like a crime thriller, shows the band getting mixed up with Ross' up-to-no-good girlfriend and her father in the small and slightly abandoned town. As the jewelry theft unwinds, R5 perform their catchy single, "My mind says, no you're no good for me/ You're no good but my heart's made up on you." However, the heist eventually goes awry and the plan turns to chaos or does it? You'll have to watch the twist ending to find out!
