They might be carrying on as a four-piece, but that doesn’t mean that Fifth Harmony have plans to change their name.

Of course, late last year it was announced that Camila Cabello would be leaving Fifth Harmony. The singer has since released her own solo music, specifically the single “Crying in the Club,” and announced her plans to continue on as a solo artist.

Despite this, the group — now comprised of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui — have soldiered on, and they, too, have released new music in the shape of summery bop, “Down,” which features Gucci Mane.

However, now Fifth Harmony have shared the emotional meaningful reason why decided to keep their name after Cabello quit.

Speaking to MTV News about the whole affair, the band said that, following the initial shock of Cabello’s exit, the idea was floated around.

“It was obviously a thought, because it was a prevalent thing that there’s four of us, not five,” said band member Lauren Jauregui. “Regardless, we were all very united in the fact that we didn’t want to change the name.”

Continuing, she said, “Fifth Harmony is the name we grew up with and we worked for and it’s our brand. It’s who we are. It’s our entire moments. It’s what we spent five years on.”

Adding to this, Dinah Jane expressed how the band name was also meaningful and special.

“The fans named us Fifth Harmony, and now they’re the fifth member,”

she said.

While it must have been hard to go through the experience of losing a band member, especially when they all started together on The X Factor, we love this idea that the group have welcomed their fans as the fifth member, and are moving on and forward. It’s so super sweet, and actually quite moving.

Meanwhile, Fifth Harmony are expected to release their third album later this year.
