Background

R5 released their debut studio album Louder in September 2013, featuring the singles "Loud", "Pass Me By", "(I Can't) Forget About You" and "One Last Dance". The band promoted the album touring North America, Europe and South America. They later released their second EP, Heart Made Up on You, which they described as a "first taste" of their second studio album.[2] The album was set to be released in spring 2015;[3] however, Riker Lynch announced that it was pushed back because they wanted to "get it right" for the fans.[4] On April 6, 2015, along with the release of the "Let's Not Be Alone Tonight" music video, R5 finally announced the title and release date of the album. Sometime Last Night will be available worldwide on July 10, 2015.[5] The songs from the "Heart Made Up on You" EP were originally scheduled to appear on the album, but R5 scrapped them and the rest of their album in favor of starting over.

They released the "Heart Made Up on You" EP, which songs were scheduled to appear on Sometime Last Night. However, due to further production and revisions, Ross Lynch announced in a radio interview that the band has decided these songs will not appear on the album, because they wanted a "blank slate".[6] Rydel Lynch also confirmed in a tweet that no songs from the EP will be featured on the album.[7] They wanted to get it right for the fans, and have therefore gone through the album multiple times before finalizing it.[8]
