With Fifth Harmony in talks to reuniteand recently performing together at a recent Jonas Brothers concert (minus Camila Cabello) it begs the question of what the group members have been up to since their indefinite hiatus back in 2018.
Firstwe need to talk about how Fifth Harmony came to be in the first place. In 2012NormaniAlly BrookeCamila CabelloDinah Janeand Lauren Jauregui auditioned for the U.S. edition of The X Factor originally as solo acts. While the five members didn’t find success as soloiststhey were put together to form a girl group. ThusFifth Harmony was born after getting their name from a public vote.
It’s no secret that the quintet had an impact on popular culture. Fifth Harmony dominated the 2010sbecoming one of the best-selling girl groups of that time. According to the RIAAtheir debut albumReflection, and the follow-up 7/27 both went platinum. Some of their most memorable songs were “Work from Home” (featuring Ty Dolla $ign)“Worth It”, “All In My Head (Flex)” featuring Fetty Wap“Sledgehammer”and “Down.” The group made it onto Billboard’s Top 100 Women Artists of the 21st Century Chart.
Nothing was ever the same once Cabello decided to leave the group back in December 2016. Drama ensued as it was a classic case of miscommunication. Long story shortFifth Harmony put out a statement explaining Cabello’s departure. The “Havana” singer released her statementsaying that she was taken aback by their post.
Fifth Harmony remained as a quartet for a little while after thatreleasing their self-titled album in 2017. Howeverit wasn’t long until the group revealed in 2018 that they would go on an indefinite hiatus while they pursue their solo careers.
