 Due to Fifth Harmony's positive commercial performance and accomplishments that year, Epic Records decided to develop the group's career, managing new recording sessions for its second album in September 2015, for which a release date of December 2015 was announced.The date was abandoned so the group could spend more time recording and organizing material.In conversation with Brennan Carley from "Spin", Lauren Jauregui said the album would be released in "early 2016" and they were "putting final touches on it".
