American girl group Fifth Harmony are reportedly lining up a music comeback without their original fifth member, Camila Cabello.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the multi-million-selling group are eyeing up a 2026 return to mark the tenth anniversary of their second studio album, 7/27.

The album, which became an international top 10 hit, spawned mega hits including “Work From Home” and “That’s My Girl”.

The publication reports that Fifth Harmony are working on a documentary to coincide with their reunion, in addition to a yet-to-be-announced tour, which would be chronicled in the film. 

Fifth Harmony rose to fame after coming third on the second season of The X Factor US in 2012, and became known for a string of hits in the 2010s, including “Work From Home”, “Worth It” and the Michelle Obama name-dropper, “BO$$”.

The fivesome – Camila Cabello, Normani, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui – became a foursome back in 2016 when Cabello shockingly announced her departure from the group.

In 2017, the remaining four released their third, eponymous album Fifth Harmony, before announcing an indefinite hiatus. The group have yet to return from said hiatus.

In the meantime, all five original members have enjoyed solo stardom, with Cabello releasing four albums: 2018’s Camila, 2019’s Romance, 2022’s Familia, and 2024’s C,XOXO.

She’s been nominated for four Grammy Awards, while her 2019 collaboration “Señorita”, written by Charli XCX and performed alongside her ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes, is one of the most-streamed songs of all time on Spotify.
