The 5th Element is the second studio album by American pop/R&B singer-songwriter Tynisha Keli, which was released Internationally on August 25, 2010, in Japan, the United States, and Europe by Eight72 Entertainment/Warner Japan. The album's production was a collaborative effort between Tynisha Keli and Tha Cornaboyz

In early 2010 Tynisha Keli announced that she would be departing from her longtime record label Warner Brother Records after she asked to be released, but would be recording a sophomore project. Tynisha signed with Eight72 Entertainment, an Atlanta-based independent label run by her longtime managers Tyrrell Bing and Lamar Chase.

After much success in Japan with her previous album, The Chronicles of Tk, where she sold over 600,000 copies, Tynisha set out to record a new album to be released in the US, Japan and Europe.

On Tynisha's first album she worked with many big name songwriters, and producers but for her second album wanted to stick to the talented people inside Tha Cornaboyz camp. She selected Pierre Medor to vocal arrange the entire project. She also enlisted the help of songwriter Atozzio Townes, who has written for artists like Chris Brown, Keke Palmer and Ray J. She also worked with the new up-and-coming songwriting/music production team called Write Time Music Group based in Atlanta; they were responsible for writing 4 songs on the album, two out of the four songs written by WTMG were also produced by Dominic Gordon, which is a music producer in the group (Next Time, Half a Man, Heart Break and Calling my Name).

The album was completed in March 2010, and on March 16, 2010, Tynisha hosted an album-listening party at Atlanta's BMI offices.

The first single for the album, "Next Time", produced by Reefa, DR and 12Keyz (C2) and written by Write Time Music Group dropped on June 23, 2010.
