Background
"Me & My Girls" was released as a promotional single, exclusively to Radio Disney on July 13, 2013.[1] It became available for download on October 22, 2013, when Fifth Harmony's debut EP was released. The song received a Radio Disney Music Award for "Best Song to Rock Out to With your BFFs".[2] The group explains the song as being "... about spending time out on the town with your girlfriends, exuding confidence and dancing like nobody’s watching".[3]
Critical reception
Laura Plus Books gave the song a mixed review, saying it was "not the best song, not even mind-blowing but it was good. Definitely a song that I will listen to often."[4] Christina Lee of Idolator gave a positive review, saying "the seismic “Me And My Girls” would make for the perfect moment to break out the confetti and fireworks".[5] TheGrapeJuice.net also gave a positive review, saying "the song is enough to turn ‘Harmony’ critics into hardcore fans… Pop perfection to say the least.[6] Jessica Rawden of PopBlend gave a positive review, stating that "The girls still need to work on putting together a more complicated dance routine, but overall, the group's second single projects exactly the image the girls have been hoping to stand for all along, at least sans the stupid bow Camila Cabello used to wear".[3]
Chart performance
The song failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100, but peaked on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number four, and on the Hot Digital Songs component chart at fifty-three.[7] The song also charted on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs chart at number seventeen.[8]
