And even if hearing the word “work” nearly 100 times in one song (98, to be exact) drives you crazy, the Fifth Harmony girls managed to present it in perhaps the catchiest way possible. Yes, this song is probably a bit racy for the tender 7-year-old ears that love when this song comes on their radio, but the number of work-related metaphors and innuendos the girls packed into a smash hit like this one is commendable. ![]() Even if you don’t like the new sound, can you really hate on a song that has an assist from the legendary Missy?Ģ. While this upbeat track is also oozing with self-assurance, it brings in an ’80s pop, Paula Abdul-like element that sounds different than most of what 5H does - but one that completely works with their vibe and their voices. The other track with “girl” in the title on 7/27 (“That’s My Girl”) is quite the girl power anthem, but it sounds a lot like several other Fifth Harmony songs with its Top 40-friendly beat and fierce vocals. Between the harmonies and the sharp-based melody, “We Know” is haunting, especially since the girls are singing about catching a game-playing jerk (and ultimately letting him know he’s not getting away with the games anymore).ģ. Other than a few hints of piano in the chorus and a snap-along beat while the girls sing the title, this Reflection track is basically a cappella, which really allows for the girls to show off their vocal abilities. “If you could take my pulse right now, it would hit you like a sledgehammer” - an interesting metaphor for a bunch of teenage girls to use when talking about love, but the combination of the song’s pounding beat and the girls’ forceful singing embodies that line in a way that makes you want to fist pump and stomp your way through the entire four-minute tune. The piano-based ballad allowed for their individual voices to shine while also highlighting how well group’s vocals mesh - bringing the harmony part of their name to life. The girls were able to show off their chops on The X Factor, and their post-competition confidence with “Miss Movin’ On,” but “Who Are You” (from the Better Together EP) was really the initial introduction to what Fifth Harmony can do vocally without the help of a TV show. And considering how young they were at the time, it’s quite the impressive showcase. The punchy bass even feels a bit like a Carey song from her heyday, making the homage even more flawless. Tyga, “Like Mariah”Ībout time a girl group paid tribute to the Queen Diva! The borrowing of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” is as brilliant as the vocals each girl brings in this jam - especially the escalating power notes in the chorus. Instead of being a love song that completely gushes about someone, “Scared of Happy” finds a way to make it about the girls rather than the love interest, which shows they haven’t completely let go of the girl-power theme.ħ. They even admit in the chorus that they’re not used to not being fearless. And for them to team up with the queen of sass (and bass) Meghan Trainor to tell girls around the world that they’re brave, honest and beautiful, this is absolutely one of the most anthemic, self-esteem-boosting Fifth Harmony songs to date.Įmpowering lyrics and attitude aside, the Fifth Harmony gals are capable of being vulnerable, and this 7/27 cut is a clear depiction of that. While confidence has never been something the 5H girls lacked, even in their X-Factor days, there’s a blood-pumping rhythm in this one that really makes you feel the fierceness group is the singing with. The girls had established that they were heating things up on their sophomore effort with “Work From Home,” and this follow-up single cemented that with riqsue lines like “I wanna feel you/ Feel you under my body.” But while their PG-rated days may have been behind them with “All of My Head,” the bouncy beat and inspired Mad Cobra lift also showed that 5H werent even close to being done with crafting some seriously catchy tunes.ĩ. ![]() How Fifth Harmony Moved On and Took Control of Their Music: 'The Fans Are Our Fifth Member'Ĭheck out our top Fifth Harmony songs below.ġ0.
