Reflection is the upcoming debut studio album by American girl group Fifth Harmony. It will be released in December 2014[2] by Syco Music and Epic Records. The lead single, "Boss", was released on July 7, 2014.

Background and composition

After finishing in third place on the second season of The X Factor USA and releasing debut EP titled Better Together, Fifth Harmony announced they would be releasing a full-length album in the fall of 2014.[3] The album will be executive produced by multiplatinum producer-songwriter Julian Bunetta and released by Syco Music and Epic Records.

The group said that the album is less pop and has a more mature sound than Better Together.[4] Fifth Harmony fans were asked to vote for the group to help unlock the cover for the album, each vote adding into the percentages needed to unveil the cover art. The title and the cover of the album were unveiled on Fifth Harmony's official website on August 12, 2014.[5] The group decided to change the album cover after receiving negative feedback from fans. The new cover was unveiled on August 23, 2014.[6]

Singles

"Boss" was released as the lead single from Reflection on July 7, 2014, and the music video was released a day later on Vevo.[7][8] The song debuted at number 43 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with first-week sales of 75,000, becoming the group's best week sales as well as highest-charting song.

Sledgehammer was released as the second single from Reflection on October 28, 2014.[9]

Promotion

After releasing "Boss", the group debuted another song from the album, "We Know", during sessions for Idolator and Billboard.[10][11] They performed several songs from the album before its release during Austin Mahone's tour in the summer of 2014. The new songs performed include "Reflection", "Over", "We Know" and "Going Nowhere".[12]
