Fifth Harmony Leak New Song From Debut Album

Yup. Less than a month away from the album's release, the girls that make up Fifth Harmony are making sure that their fans are still satisfied after "Sledgehammer" exploded all over the radio. This time we get to hear "Worth It" featuring rapper Kid Ink. Is the song worth it, though?


The song really stumbles from the gate. I really didn't care much for the opening rap section. It really distracts from the song, and the sandwich style raps (opening with one and closing with another) really turn me off from music. The chorus is also rather blah-worthy seeing as its a mess of trumpets in a very jazz meets R&B style that doesn't set well with the listener.

I would really think this song was entirely a lost cause, but the pre-chorus and the verses are more R&B and less jazz, which is the direction the group has been going in lately, and it works. I wish the whole song was like this part of the song. Their harmonies are spot on, and their vibe is strong. Unfortunately this is only for about 1/3 of the track.

Is "Worth It" a lost cause? Maybe. Then again, I really didn't like "Them Girls Be Like" all that much the first time I listened to it, but it grew on me. Fortunately it looks like they won't be spending time on this as a single, which gives me hope for the rest of the album. They are three for four on the tracks they've revealed so far, which is a good sign. Let's hope for the best for Reflection.

You can get the song on iTunes now. If you preorder today, you get both singles ("BO$$" and "Sledgehammer") as well as "Them Girls Be Like" and "Worth It", the so called promotional singles.
