Background
After the release of extended play5 in October 2018, the group went on to finish the group's fifth album. In the meantime, the band did an action in the application of streaming Spotify to select the second single of the project, with the track "Solo Tu" being chosen.[2] With the release of the music video for the song, there were strong rumors that the girl group would split up and that "the new album should only be delivered due to contractual issues with the label and the work as a girl group shut down."[3] Less than a week after the rumors, on January 24, 2019, the band issued an official statement announcing that the group would go on hiatus indefinitely. In the midst of the announcement, the girls announced the release of their fifth album, Les 5inq, on February 1, 2019, and the Rouge Sessions, an acoustic video tape recorded at the home of member Aline Wirley in Tijuca Forest, Rio de Janeiro of January.[4]
