"That's My Girl"
Song

"That's My Girl" is a song recorded by American girl group Fifth Harmony. It was released on September 27, 2016, as the third single from the group's second studio album, 7/27 (2016).[1] The song was written by Tinashe Kachingwe, Alexander Kronlund, and Lukas Loules, with the production being handled by Kronlund and Loules.[2]

Critical reception

While reviewing the album 7/27, Christopher R. Weingarten from Rolling Stone wrote "there's nothing here as good as 2014's "BO$$" but "That's My Girl" bites its honking horns just fine and delivers a booming addendum to its empowering message".[3]

Music video

The official music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released on September 19, 2016. The music video shows the group in a post-apocalyptic world where they dance through the streets singing the song's empowering lyrics and saving the affected people. There are also solo shots of the group in an all black ensemble in front of a lit rock wall. It is also said to be inspired by the Mad Max aesthetic.[4]

An alternate music video was released on September 28, 2016, and features scenes from the web series DC Super Hero Girls and the movie, DC Super Hero Girls: Hero of the Year.[5]

Live performances

The group performed the song for the first time as the opening song for the North American Leg of the 7/27 Tour.

The group are set to perform the song for the first time on television at the American Music Awards on November 20, 2016. [6]
