They signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Simon Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid's record label, after finishing in third place behind Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar on the show.
Fifth Harmony won MTV's Artist To Watch award at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2014, Fifth Harmony was labeled as the #1 most 'Influential' X Factor USA contestant of all-time by FoxWeekly. Their debut EP, "Better Together" was released in 2013 with a first week position of No. 6 on the Billboard 200. Their debut studio album, "Reflection" was released on January 30, 2015, going to #5 on the US Billboard 200. The album included the song Worth It (feat. Kid Ink) which became their biggest hit, peaking at #12.
Fifth Harmony is composed of five singers who all successfully auditioned as soloists on The X Factor, but failed to progress individually to the Judges' Houses stage of the competition. They were later formed as a group at the end of bootcamp by Simon Cowell, thus qualifying for the "Groups" category. Originally, the group's name was "LYLAS" (acronym for Love You Like a Sister), but another group called "The Lylas" (which consists of four of Bruno Mars' sisters) claimed that the show stole their name. Thereafter, LYLAS changed their name to "1432" (which stands for I Love You Too), which was announced on the first live show on October 31, 2012, during which 1432 performed "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift. Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were critical of the new name, and Cowell suggested that the group be renamed again. During the first live results show on November 1, 2012, 1432 performed "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato in a sing-off with Sister C. Cowell decided to send 1432 through to the Top 12 and he announced that they would be renamed by the viewers online. The name chosen by the public was announced: "Fifth Harmony".
Following their exit from The X Factor, they released their debut single "Miss Movin' On", which was certified gold by the RIAA. Its music video won the group the MTV Video Music Award for Artist to Watch. Their debut EP, Better Together (2013), had a first week position of number six on the U.S. Billboard 200. The group released their debut studio album Reflection in 2015, debuting at number five on the Billboard 200 and receiving a gold certification from the RIAA. The album included the platinum singles "Boss", "Sledgehammer" and "Worth It". The latter achieved triple platinum certification in the U.S. and reached the top 10 in thirteen countries. "Work from Home", the lead single from their sophomore album 7/27 (2016), became the group's first top 10 single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100[4] and the first top 5 by a girl group in a decade in that chart.
Their accolades include an iHeartRadio Music Award, three MTV Europe Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Award, an American Music Award, a Billboard Women in Music award and seven Teen Choice Awards. With 10 million certified records (sales plus streaming-equivalent units) in the United States, Fifth Harmony has emerged as the most successful alumni from the X Factor U.S. franchise.
Fifth Harmony was named by Billboard the "hottest young stars" under 21 for 2016. On December 18, 2016, the group announced that Cabello had left the group "via her representatives".

Fifth Harmony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were just strangers
I was just playing around
So I didn't wanna work it out
No, I didn't wanna work it out
Thought something was missing
We were too different
And I really should've worked it out
Yeah, I really should've worked it out
Because now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I
Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
I'm watching you with her, thinking I had you
How was I ever so dumb?
Boy I should've known that you're the one
Boy I should've known that you're the one
So, if it's not too late,
I just wanna know babe
And tell me ever we could still run
'Cause I finally know that you're the one
Yeah, I really know that you're the one
Because now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I
Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
And now that you're gone and I sleep alone
I can't help it, I want you back 'cause I
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
Boy I miss you, said I really really do, boy I miss you
Now I understand that we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
We're better, we're better, we're better, we're better, we're better,
You know we're better together
The lyrics of Fifth Harmony's song Better Together are about a past relationship that ended, and the regret and longing that comes with it. The song starts with the confession that when they were together, they were strangers and the singer didn't want to work things out despite feeling like something was missing. The singer admits that they were too different, but now they realise that they should have tried harder to find common ground. The chorus expresses the singer's feelings of missing the person they were with, and the belief that they are better together, while the repetition of "we're better" emphasises the point.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the mistakes they made in the past, watching the other person move on and wondering how they could have been so dumb to let them go. The singer now knows that the person they were with was the one for them, and they want to know if it's not too late to try again. The chorus repeats again, emphasising the idea that they are better together and expressing their longing to be with the other person again.
The lyrics of Better Together express a common feeling of regret and longing for a past love. The repetition of "we're better" reinforces the idea that two people can be stronger together than apart, and the song ultimately expresses a hope for reconciliation.

How was I ever so dumb?
I feel foolish for not realizing our potential as a couple
Boy I should've known that you're the one
I now know that you are the one for me
So, if it's not too late,
If there is still a chance for us to be together,
I just wanna know babe
I simply want to know if you feel the same way
And tell me ever we could still run
Let me know if we still have the opportunity to make this work
'Cause I finally know that you're the one
I am now certain that you are the one for me

5H is gone....
They were the people I kept myself alive for
They were the people I smiled because
They were the people I laughed because
They were the people I lived for
Now, they are the people I cry for
Tears hurt the worst when you can't tell if they're happy or sad... you love the memories but you're sad they didn't last
