The four songs on WARNING SIGNS are: “SMFWU,” “I Believe,” “Ride,” and the single, “I Choose U,” which broke into the Top 40 over the summer. “We have spent the last year writing and producing this album,” Timeflies told Billboard.com, “using every spare moment we have to craft a project that we feel is truly taking our sound to the next level… [the EP] is a sign of things to come, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

The “I Choose U” video, posted in April, went into rotation at MTV, MTV Hits, mtvU, and Fuse, and Timeflies were named “MTV Artist To Watch” for 2013. “I Choose U” has over 2.8 million YouTube views to date.In addition, Timeflies are 2013 Taco Bell’s Feed the Beat Campaign’s Artist to Watch, Taco Bell’s breakthrough artist program.
