5 Seconds of Summer began in December 2011 when Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood, who all attended the same school (Norwest Christian College), joined together and started posting videos of themselves performing covers of popular songs to YouTube. Their cover of the Chris Brown and Justin Bieber hit "Next to You" received over 600,000 hits.[2] In December 2011, they were joined by drummer Ashton Irwin,[3] and the current 5 Seconds of Summer lineup came to be. They have since amassed over 5 million YouTube views, and a large following on social media sites Twitter and Facebook.[3] The band attracted some keen interest from major music labels and publishers, and have signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing.[4] Despite having had no promotion apart from on Facebook andTwitter,[4] their first music release, an EP entitled Unplugged, reached number 3 on the iTunes chart in Australia,[4] and Top 20 in both New Zealand and Sweden.[citation needed] Their International following increased significantly once again, when Louis Tomlinson from the UK band One Direction posted the link to their YouTube video of their song Gotta Get Out, stating that he'd been a fan of 5 Seconds of Summer "for a while".[5] 5 Seconds of Summer were once again the subject of interest forOne Direction following the release of their first single, Out Of My Limit, on 19 November 2012, with Niall Horan tweeting the link to the video clip for it.[6]

The EP was also co produced by Joel Chapman.
