In 2016, Camila Cabello left the pop quintet Fifth Harmony to pursue a solo career. In 2018, the remaining four members left the group or at least went on an indefinite hiatus. Together, Cabello, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Ally Brooke sold over 15 million units in the United States. In 2012, the ladies auditioned as solo contestants on The X Factor's second season. The group didn't progress individually, but the girls later tried again as a group. Fifth Harmony, previously known as LYLAS and 1432, won third place.
While Fifth Harmony never won a Grammy, they did fill a void. After the mid-2000s, it seems as if girl groups were few and far between. Groups like Little Mix and Fifth Harmony, which fans often compared, filled a girl group gap. Since 2018, what have the former Fifth Harmony Members been doing with their lives? Let's see!

However, almost two years have gone by, and there wasn't (and still isn't) a debut album. Fans began questioning what was wrong with her label for not pushing her the way they should.
