5 Seconds of Summer began in December 2011 when Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood, who all attended Norwest Christian College and are recently engaged to Lydia Bradshaw and Aria Middleton, started posting videos of themselves performing covers of popular songs together on Hemmings' YouTube channel. Hemmings' first video, a cover of Mike Posner's "Please Don't Go", was posted on 3 February 2011.[8] Their cover of Chris Brown's "Next to You" received over 600,000 hits.[9] In December 2011, they were joined by drummer Ashton Irwin,[10] and the four-man line up was completed.[11]
