It’s happened!!! R5 has revealed one of the first song title from their upcoming album!

“Who wants to know the title of one of the songs on our next release?” Riker Lynch teased the bands’ fans on Twitter this morning. “What if I told you there was a song called ‘Soon’? Hahaha.”

Riker was just playing around with the latter tweet. There’s no song called “Soon” — but there is one called “Need You Tonight”.

Riker, along with sibs Rocky, Ross, Rydel and Ellington Ratliff, have been hard at work on their next album, which follows Sometime Last Night.

“Ok for real, you’ve all been very patient and we appreciate you hanging in there. I promise the release is in the near future,” he reassured fans. Let’s hope so!

R5‘s Riker Lynch just revealed that the band’s new single is ready and waiting to be heard!

The bass player, and eldest Lynch sibling in the band, dished about the band’s new music on Twitter to their fans.

“It’s ready,” Riker confirmed when one fan asked him straight out about it. We are so ready to hear it!

Riker also gave fans a sneak peek of what else R5 is working on music wise.

“The guys are rewriting lyrics to one of the new songs. Key word there is ‘re-writing’. They will accept nothing less than great,” he shared, adding, “The working title for this song is Jungle Funk haha not totally sure how that came about but tis true.”

Rydel Lynch and Ellington Ratliff are forever goals…especially since she looped him into one of her videos!

The duo — Rydellington, as they are affectionately known by fans — shared two new vids on Rydel‘s YouTube channel that were all about Valentine’s Day.

In the first vid, Rydel actually gets Ratliff to play the Boyfriend Tag, because, as he claims, he’s whipped.

“Did the boy friend tag with @rydelR5 because I’m whipped.. enjoy,” he tweeted.

Can you believe that the guys of R5 actually cut their hair?!

Riker Lynch snapped the pic, showing off his shorter blond hair, with brothers Rocky and Ross in the background, along with drummer Ellington Ratliff.

The four looked all ready to go out for the night while “searching” for the fifth member of the group, sister Rydel.

Earlier in the week, Ratliff was in the sharing mood when he gave fans a sneak peek at some new tracks the group was working on for their upcoming album — and we STILL can’t wait to hear them!
