SONG RATINGS:

Top Down - 10/10 - with a catchy chorus and continuous "Electric City" references, Top Down is by far one of the most energetic and fun songs on the album, that is split up with very equal parts for each band member.

Bo$$ - 8/10 - with many references to different leading and successful women in the industry, Bo$$ provides a strong empowerment and boost of confidence for all the women out there listening to this track.

Sledgehammer - 9/10 - written by the no.1 hit artist Meghan Trainor, Sledgehammer provides classic cliched romantic lyrics, that any young individual would see themselves listening to over and over again, possibly even relating to the song itself.

Worth It - 10/10 - this mature track features the rapping delights of Kid Ink, who provides a very catchy verse in between Beyonce style sections of the song. Worth It says goodbye to Fifth Harmony's old sweetheart lyrics and says hello to a brand new era of confidence.

This Is How We Roll - 9/10 - with a Will.i.am style beat dropping after each chorus, This Is How We Roll is the perfect club song for any dance music fan out there, who is ready to get up on their feet and start dancing the night away.

Everlasting Love - 10/10 with an Ariana Grande/Mariah Carey feel to the song, Everlasting Love is a classic enchanting pop ballad, that hearts will instantaneously fall in love with the second they hear it playing.

Like Mariah - 10/10 - with sampling from Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" and written with assistance by the star herself, Like Mariah is the real deal for a future number 1 hit! Featuring a well put together rap by Tyga near the end of the song, Fifth Harmony show off all they have with powerful notes and gorgeous melodic whistle tones.

Them Girls Be Like - 7/10 - reminiscing a similar style of classic Fifth Harmony with their hit song "Me & My Girls", Them Girls Be Like provides a sassy and fun song packed right into the middle of the album, with lyrics that 99.9% of teenage girls could pretty much say they relate to in some way.

Reflection - 10/10 - what could be seen as an anthem for girls for the entire next century, Reflection provides a sassy lyrical masterpiece, in which the girls trick an "angelic" and "sexy" man into thinking he's the full package, when really, the girls have it all. Fifth Harmony once again stand up for strong female empowerment and confidence, topping it all off within this one song that is also the albums successful title.

Suga Mama - 8/10 - another hit song written by the one and only Meghan Trainor, Suga Mama provides yet another sassy output towards the album. With a confident storyline that details in Fifth Harmony standing up for themselves within a relationship that is going nowhere fast, 5H say they can't be your "Suga Mama" if the boy doesn't start to make a change.

We Know - 7/10 - with a slight twist, We Know provides a calm and melodic sound to the album. With very little features of a beat included, the strong lyrical content leaves you with shivers down your spine from the different focused vocals heard throughout.

Going Nowhere - 9/10 - with another hit beat produced by DJ Flint, Going Nowhere adds in to the fitting theme of women empowerment over men within the album. This song provides another sassy lyrical story, that features a strong, catchy chorus, and beautifully layered harmonization throughout.

Body Rock - 8/10 - with another successful club beat for the album, Body Rock is a perfect example of an ear grabbing dance track. With repetitive verses and choruses throughout, this song is bound to stay stuck in your head for a very long time.

Brave Honest Beautiful - 10/10 - written and featuring the delightful vocals of Meghan Trainor, Brave Honest Beautiful is the song to inspire women of all ages for the rest of their lives. Promoting confidence, fearlessness, empowerment and beauty, this song is bound to enlighten the hearts of millions, potentially giving them a boost of happiness inside that will never leave once they hear it.
