The reunion was a significant moment for the group, which had been on hiatus since 2018. Their performance was not only a musical comeback but also a strategic move to re-establish their presence in the industry. 

The group’s social media accounts were reactivated, and new merchandise was released, signaling a potential new era for Fifth Harmony. 

However, the absence of Camila Cabello, who departed from the group in 2016, was notable. While she did not participate in the performance, Cabello expressed her support by commenting four red heart emojis on the group's Instagram post.

Some fans expressed disappointment over her absence, with one writing, “They could have just asked Camila to come back instead of using her soundtrack.” Others defended the reunion, emphasizing the importance of celebrating the group's return. “Rather than tearing them down, can't we just celebrate their reunion? It's clear Camila is supportive, given her love for the post on the Fifth Harmony fan page,” commented another fan.

The performance was met with enthusiasm from fans, who praised the group's vocal harmonies and stage presence, suggesting that their time apart had only enhanced their artistry. Speculation is rife about the possibility of new music or a full-scale reunion tour, though no official announcements have been made.
