During Kordei’s dance routine, Hernandez, Jauregui and Jane offered a beautiful performance.

This week’s segment was based on the contestants’ “Most Memorable Year,” for which the singer picked 2012, the year she joined Fifth Harmony on X Factor. She dedicated the performance to her family and her “girls” when talking about the hardships and success she faced during that part of her life.

All four ladies took the stage following Kordei’s introduction, singing a beautiful, stripped-down rendition of Shontelle‘s “Impossible” while she and partner Val Chmerkovskiy danced the rumba. After the captivating routine, all four harmonizers got emotional while they went in for a hug.

“It was such a special moment,” she shared with co-host Erin Andrews. “I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in without these beautiful girls and I recognize that. They make up [for] all of my weaknesses, and I thank them for that.”

The touching moment did not go unnoticed by Chmerkovskiy, who witnessed the band’s deep love and connection for one another. “I’ve been on tour with them for three weeks now,” shared Chmerkovskiy. “It’s a beautiful thing to see them collectively celebrate each other’s individuality.”

For the “harmonious” dance routine, Kordei and Chmerkovskiy scored a total 32 out of 40 for their performance.

In a message posted on social media and signed by “Ally, Normani, Dinah and Lauren,” the group writes, “After four and a half years of being together, we have been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony. We wish her well.”

The remaining members, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen and Lauren Jauregui, state that they will continue the group as a foursome.

As recently as December 9, when the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour hit New York City, the group had announced plans to release a new album. Kordei told radio personality Elvis Duran, “2017, it’s going to be popping,” and Jane Hansen added, “The third album is definitely going to be so lit. We’re really excited.”

Fifth Harmony was formed by Simon Cowell on the second season of the The X Factor US in July 2012. In January 2013, they signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid‘s record label, after finishing in third place on the show.

To date, The group has sold 424,000 albums, 7 million digital songs and earned 1.6 billion on-demand streams in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music.

Their honors include three MTV Video Music Awards, an American Music Award, a Billboard Women in Music award and seven Teen Choice Awards.

In the last two years, Cabello released two singles which reached the top 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100: “I Know What You Did Last Summer” with Shawn Mendes in 2015, and “Bad Things” with Machine Gun Kelly earlier this year.

“Worth It,” Fifth Harmony’s third single from debut album Reflection, has continued to perform well on the Billboard Hot 100 after becoming the group’s first Top 20 hit earlier this year. The Kid Ink-assisted track stays at its No. 14 peak on the chart this week. And the girls tell Billboard they’re elated — and more than a little shocked — that the song has taken off.

“With ‘Worth It,’ we were really surprised,” 5H’s Normani Kordei tells Billboard. “We love the song, but we were kind of surprised, to be honest.”

“It’s normally the songs that you don’t really think that are the hits!” added Dinah Jane Hansen.

Fifth Harmony tracks like “BO$$” and “Sledgehammer” helped earn the group a loyal fan base, but “Worth It” is growing at radio, up 7 percent this week with 79 million in audience while staying at No. 10 on the Radio Songs chart.

“This is definitely our biggest single to date for sure, and so just to see it continue to climb and see it on the charts with Ed Sheeran or Taylor Swift, or whoever’s big right now, it’s right next to them and right there with them,” says Jauregui. “It’s frickin’ platinum! To say it’s platinum, that a million people bought that song, it’s amazing. It’s so incredible to see that the support has gone beyond our fan base.”

The 15-second clip, which the group posted on Twitter, features Hernandz, Jauregui, Cabello, Normani Kordei and Dinah Jane performing the synth-heavy song while the silhouette of a man artfully swings a sledgehammer.

The “Sledgehammer” video premieres on Tuesday. It’s the second single from Fifth Harmony’s debut album, Reflection, which is scheduled for release on January 27 through Epic Records.

“It’s cool because we’ve never released a single that’s about love — a happy, cute love song,” Cabello told Billboard about “Sledgehammer.” “It’s about being with the person you like and feeling the beating of the heartbeat that beats like a sledgehammer.”
