Background

Vocalist Johnny 3 Tears spoke about the album title, stating "We’re five brothers, and this is our fifth record. Nothing gets to the essence of the music like this number does. Numerology has a lot of power. When we said Five, it just made sense. The fact that we could all agree on one word codifies who we are." [1] [2]

Even though it was not released as a single, the track "Riot" was certified three times platinum in Brazil by the PMB. [3]
