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
I need somebody with some patience
'Cause you know I got a temperament
And yeah, you got a reputation
Nothin' that a little love can't fix
There ain't no kinda situation
FBI interrogation
I would get up there and lie for you
When push come to shove
You show me love
When push come to shove, aye
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you
You the type that I could bake for (bake for)
'Cause baby, you know how to take that cake
And I'm the only one you wait for
'Cause baby, you know that I'm worth the wait
When push come to shove
You show me love (you show me love)
When push come to shove, aye
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you
It's like Bonnie and Clyde just walked in
A gangster and his bride just walked in
We on the same team and we ballin'
Got me showin' off my ring like I'm Jordan
And I'mma hold you down like you hold me
And I'll never tell a soul what you told me
When I was sittin' in the cells is when you showed me
It takes a real one to put up with the old me
That's why you in the coupe with the low seat
That's why we at the game on the floor seats
My diamond that they seein' from the nosebleeds
You make 'em mad, feel like you won a trophy
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down (love you down)
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down (down, down, down)
Long as you're holding me down, down, down (I'm gon' love you down)
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down (long as you're lovin' me, boy)
I'm gon' keep lovin' you

Line by Line Meaning
I need somebody with some patience
I require someone who has the ability to deal with my temperament
'Cause you know I got a temperament
Because I have a difficult personality to handle
And yeah, you got a reputation
And I am aware that you have a certain image in the society
Nothin' that a little love can't fix
However, a little love can solve everything
There ain't no kinda situation
No circumstance exists
Where I wouldn't cross a line for you
Where I wouldn't risk everything for you
FBI interrogation
Even under an FBI interrogation
I would get up there and lie for you
I would happily lie for you
When push come to shove
In difficult times
You show me love
You demonstrate your love for me
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
As long as you are supporting me
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down
I will continue to love you unconditionally
You the type that I could bake for
You are that special someone for whom I would even cook something
'Cause baby, you know how to take that cake
Because you know how to appreciate things
And I'm the only one you wait for
And I am the only one for whom you are willing to wait
'Cause baby, you know that I'm worth the wait
Because you know I am worth the time and effort
It's like Bonnie and Clyde just walked in
It is like we are partners in crime
A gangster and his bride just walked in
Like we are a duo of a tough, aggressive man and his loving partner
We on the same team and we ballin'
We are on the same page and thriving
Got me showin' off my ring like I'm Jordan
You give me such pride that I am showing off like a famous basketball player with his championship ring
And I'mma hold you down like you hold me
I will support you like you support me
And I'll never tell a soul what you told me
I will keep your secrets safe forever
When I was sittin' in the cells is when you showed me
You proved your loyalty when I was locked up
It takes a real one to put up with the old me
It takes a true partner to handle my past self
That's why you in the coupe with the low seat
That's why I'm riding next to you in the sports car with low seats
That's why we at the game on the floor seats
That's why we have VIP floor seats at the game
My diamond that they seein' from the nosebleeds
The huge diamond on my finger is so noticeable that even fans sitting in the nosebleeds can see it
Long as you're holding me down, down, down
As long as you are there for me holding me up
I'm gon' keep lovin' you down, down, down (love you down)
I will continue to love and be loyal to you
I'm gon' keep lovin' you
I will always love you
