Fifth Harmony Talk Their Highs & Lows in 'Billboard' Mag

Fifth Harmony come together on the newest cover of Billboard.

Here’s what the girls — Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Hansen, Camila Cabello, and Lauren Jauregui — had to share with the glossy:

Lauren on falling for the illusion of fame: “They sell you this ­present of rainbows and butterflies, and as a 16-year-old that’s what I bought. It’s why I did X Factor and why I ended up in a group. But then you’re working so hard, so young. [Meanwhile] my friends are in college, ­telling me about their days and what they’re studying. You’re having to put on a smile on a red carpet. It’s like, ‘Who am I? Am I for myself or for this?’”

On knowing the group can’t last forever: “It has been an incredible journey, and it’ll continue as long as it can, but this will be that chapter that got us wherever we needed to go. We’re ­learning the business, meeting people we need to know, getting knowledgeable about our craft. This is basically us being in college for our majors.”

Camila on suffering from anxiety: “I was having terrible anxiety, nonstop. My heart would beat really fast the whole day. Two hours after I woke up, I’d need a nap because my body was so hyperactive. It was so eff — sorry, but it was so f***** up. I was scared of what would happen to me, of the things my brain might tell me. I realized the stuff I thought was important isn’t worth my health. Now I write in a diary every day, work out and meditate.”
