[15] The song opens with Brooke singing the first verse: "Who's been working so damn hard?/ You got that head on overload," before praising "that flawless body", accompanied by horn samples. [16] The pre-chorus is introduced by Jauregui who sings backed by Cabello harmonizing around her voice, "You've been down before/You've been hurt before/You've got up before/You'll be good to go. good to go." [17] Normani then rap-sings in the chorus: "Destiny said it, you got to get up and get it/Get mad independent, don't you ever forget it." [14] [18] Adam R.

[17]

Critical reception

"That's My Girl" received positive reviews from music critics, with some noting its horn samples and theme of female empowerment. Writing for the Los Angeles Times , Gerrick D. Kennedy called the song a "horn driven bombast" and states that it "delivers a punchy message of female unity". [19] While reviewing the album 7/27 , Christopher R. Weingarten from Rolling Stone wrote that the track did not compare to "Boss", the group's first single from Reflection but concludes saying ""That's My Girl" bites its honking horns just fine and delivers a booming addendum to its empowering message". [20] Digital Spy's Lewis Corner wrote, "'That's My Girl' is basically the bolder, more fierce cousin of 'Worth It' with its strutting brass and a chorus powerful enough to launch a NASA mission." [21] Mike Neid from Idolator included the song in his "should have been bigger" category, praising the "harmonious and explosive cut" the group executed and its slick production. [22]

In a mixed review, Michael Smith of Renowned for Sound criticized the song's production, commenting on how the transitions to different verses can "feel disjointed in a few ways". He also called the song a "confusing single choice" and mentions how the song "is far from the best that Fifth Harmony have had to offer". Smith gave the song a two-and-a-half out of five star rating. [23] Conversely, Lucas Villa of AXS raved about the song, calling it "one of the best girl power anthems in pop music as of late" and said the group "slay accordingly with this brassy and sassy number." [24] Sharing similar sentiments, Mike Wass from Idolator called the track a "sassy smash" saying it was "another fiery female empowerment anthem built around a killer horn sample." [25] Entertainment Weekly called the song a "Worth It" sequel [26] while Maura Johnston of The Boston Globe said the track was "stormy" and called it a "girl-power anthem tailor-made for post-breakup ladies’ nights out." [27]

Synopsis

Critics compared the setting and the white costumes to the film Mad Max. That's My Girl Video Screenshot.png
Critics compared the setting and the white costumes to the film Mad Max .

The video begins as several helicopters make their way to a smoke-filled area near the mountains. Injured townsfolk are seen as the group then starts singing in solo shots in an all-black ensemble in front of a lit rock wall. In the following scene, the group walks to the ruined town in unity in a post-apocalyptic world setting, dressed in white clothes holding, initially, white flags, where they dance through the streets singing the song's lyrics. Each member moves the flags simultaneously as scenes from their all-black ensemble are spliced in between.

As the group makes their way to the core of the town, their faces are in shock as they hold onto one another's hands. The camera zooms individually on their faces before sprinting to rescue the townsfolk. They gather everyone behind them as they show their white flags to the oppressor, in a symbol for surrender and a calling for truce. Dinah is then shown singing the second verse with a red light on the background walking into a rustic bathroom where the camera then changes to Ally singing her verse followed by Camila and Lauren singing simultaneously. Then, the group is shown dancing and singing the chorus with red flags. Each member locks their hands together as a shimmering particles rises when they lift their hands upwards. The particles stay there as the group walks in circles around it. In the third bridge, the group forms a circle around a red power that explodes forming the number five with the following scene showing the group dancing in the ruined town at night with a dim light on the background.

The video ends showing the town in the shape of the number 5, in reference to the name of the group. [38] [39]

Reception

Several critics noted the influence of the movie Mad Max in the video conception, [40] Sasha Geffen from MTV noted that "their outfits look like they could have been pulled from the Mad Max: Fury Road wardrobe, though there are no War Boys to be spotted in the desert landscape. Girls rule this post-apocalypse — maybe it's a sequel." [41] Entertainment Weekly 's Nolan Feeney wrote that "the quintent played sexy emergency workers in a Hunger Games -esque dystopian society that's been rocked by catastrophe." [42] Digital Spy's Lewis Corner called the video "epic" and a "blockbuster visual", the group a "vision of solidarity". Corner complimented the fierce look the group demonstrated. [43]

In an analysis by Vulture , Halle Keifer expressed a confused perspective on the video, asking "do people really want to see Fifth Harmony literally dancing in the rubble of a war-ravaged city?" Keifer noted that the abrupt dance routines distracted from the main story line of the video. [44] Carl Williott from Idolator felt that the video was "a spiritual sequel" to the group's "similarly utilitarian "Work from Home" (2016) construction site visual." [45] Mike Neid, from the same website as Williott, said that the video provided "sexy choreography and a powerful message of girl power" in an analysis from his "should have been bigger" category. [22] Kelly Lawler of USA Today noted the video's nods to popular dystopian films including The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games. She also called the dancing "impeccable" and commended the group's emotional power in the vocals and the solid theme in the song. [46] As of July 2020, the video has surpassed 205 million views.

[49] British pop rock band The Vamps covered the track at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. [50] The song also came out on the trailer for the 2017 comedy film Girls Trip . [51] It was also featured on the second season of the American sitcom The Real O'Neals . [52]
