Five years of Fifth Harmony. Five years this month. It's really insane to think about. Just our journey and how far we've come as individuals, as a group, just as women. It's really insane and obviously our music how much we've evolved and

Even just like for me personally having like seen you guys like growing on your journey. It's been like how is that whole like can you picture like where you were then and where you are now? Like did you ever think that this would be your life?

Yeah. Oh man, no, I mean you of course dream big. I always dreamt big when I was a young child, but just being where I am now, I mean with the girls and dropping our our new music and working on our album and just traveling the world and having the fans that we do has been something that's been so incredible. It's beyond words like we get to Harmonizers are seriously shout out to all our Harmonizers. Yes. You have like these are yours. You deserve these. And so much more. They they've completely changed our lives and they've made our dreams come true.

Well and speaking of you just dropped down. Which is I literally have put it on repeat like a million times. Yes.

Thank you, girl.

It's amazing. So what's like working on this now third album? Like how is it different?

Well, we're very excited and thrilled because we're more involved now more than ever. We are putting our own lyrics into the music, our own ideas, our own thoughts and we're really hands on with this project finally after so many years and you get to see the diverse range in each and every one of us. We want our fans to to feel empowered and to to have so much fun while they listen to the music, to dance, to feel like they can they can conquer the world and and to make them feel joy. That's what music's all about, you know, going through your ups and downs and being able to pour your experiences into the music and and hopefully people people love it and have a good time.

And I love that that's really what like you guys are about. You're so about just like empowerment and literally girl power like and it's just so it's true though. Like it's fair. I know a lot of people are really inspired by you guys. Um and then you just also um no big deal dropped your own song. You collabed with Lost Kings and S Ferg. I was also listening to that on repeat. I've been like all morning obsessed with it. So how is that like how did that whole come thing come about?

Uh, well, they had heard the Lost Kings, Nick and Rob, hey guys. They had heard that I was writing and and doing, you know, some of my own music. They heard some stuff and then they were like, we want her for look at us now. Like she would be the perfect person for that. They're like some of the sweetest um most respectful young young men I've ever come across and and they're so much fun and they're as excited and hungry as I am about creating music and about doing what they love being passionate. I love them.
