"Dope" is a song by Fifth Harmony included on their second studio album, 7/27, which debuted on May 27, 2016.

Background[]

Normani Kordei wrote what this song meant to her: "I resonate with "Dope" on such personal level. Lyrically and melodically it creates an imagery of this girl being super passionate about someone but lacks the confidence to tell them. I have definitely been in the position where I feel extremely fascinated with someone but I'm absolutely loss for words when in person with them. I had the best time in the studio recording this record. I was able to become vulnerable in my own space. It was such an experience. -Normani"

Critical Response[]

"Oh here they go again. "I've been thinking about ways I can hold you close," the 5H girls seductively suggest over cosmic synths and sharp clicks, which trickle into an airy chorus. And anyone under 16 should cover their ears now, because the girls bring out all the swears. "I don't know what to say / But you're pretty fucking dope". Compliments don't come more direct than that.", according to Lewis Corner of Digitalspy.

"“Dope” makes us want to snap our fingers and boasts a unique melody — not to mention we love doodoo-ing with our ladies — but it doesn’t quite pack a punch. Not a dance track or uptempo ballad, it feels like an “extra” tune, which makes it a fitting “bonus” tune. We’re not hating because theres no such thing as too much extra Fifth Harmony. Plus, the Laurmani at the end just makes the song.", according to Brittany Goldfield Rodrigues of ANDPOP.

Lyrics[]

Fifth Harmony:
Doo-doo, do-do-doo, doo-doo, do-do-do, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, do-do-doo, doo-doo, do-do-do, doo-doo-doo

Camila:
New Jersey tongue, not saying too much
I'm feeling your attitude
That East Coastin' baby is driving me crazy
Just like you're supposed to do
With hands that could save me, face that could bait me
Sort of in love with you
But I wouldn't say that to ya

Dinah:
And now I'm trying to find the words
To tell you how I feel and show you that it's real
And now I'm trying to find the words, uh

Lauren (with Fifth Harmony):
I don't know what else to say, but you're (pretty fucking dope)
(Just so you know)
I've been thinking 'bout ways that I wanna hold you close
(Just so you know)
I don't know what else to say, but you're pretty fucking (do-o-ope)
Oh, just so you (kno-o-ow)
Oh, woah

Normani:
Do you got a girlfriend?
Cause if you don't, then I'm coming after you
Don't wanna be selfish
But I can't help it, I'm wanting more of you
I know I'm cool as shit, you want more of it
This much I know is true
