As their third EP, the collection signals a shift toward a more mature sound, trading bright pop hooks for a more rock-influenced approach. The EP hints at the direction the forthcoming album would take, exciting longtime fans and inviting newcomers. (Citation: Entertainment Rundown)
The lineup—Ross, Rocky, Riker, and Rydel Lynch—alongside Ellington Ratliff, answers that new sound with a confident, tighter performance.
The video unfolds with cinematic flair. The narrative follows a flirtation that spirals into danger, pulling the band into a risky jewelry-store caper and a high-speed pursuit through city streets. The adrenaline-fueled scenes are designed to mirror the song’s heartbeat and energy. (Citation: Music Vision Clips)
Viewers are encouraged to watch the video to judge the shift themselves. For those impressed by the new direction, R5 was scheduled to perform at Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts on September 23.
