Following Cabello's departure and speculations about the group's future, they published another statement where they explained, "We have spent the past year and a half (since her initial solo endeavor) trying to communicate to her and her team all of the reasons why we felt Fifth Harmony deserved at least one more album of her time. We are excited for our future, and we can't wait for what the new year brings."[2][3]

The Asian leg of the 7/27 Tour ran from March 23, 2017 to April 8. During an interview with Billboard, member Ally Brooke stated that the group for the first time was having "a lot of creative control and input" and that is something "they are so excited about."[5] On April 12, 2017, the quartet appeared on the cover for Galore magazine where they discussed the concept and sonority present on their third album, "we've been creating sounds that we've been wanting to touch base on. Some R&B tones, some rhythmic tones. It's been amazing to create with one another because we're so different when it comes to music," Dinah Jane said. "We love different genres. So to vibe together and create this Fifth Harmony sound is what makes it so special."[6]
