Fifth Harmony’s Dinah Jane on her love for Twilight, In-N-Out burgers, and Leona Lewis - and that time Lauren got slimed

We’re getting glammed up to do some interviews here in Los Angeles. We’ve been working in the studio all this week, and the two weeks before. It’s been constant work.

The fact we’re going to Hong Kong is a dream come true. I’ve been waiting for this all my life.

I believe so. We always see our Hong Kong fans on social media, so to [get to] meet them in person will be magical.

Thank you. It’s been unreal lately. We came home with five awards last week. And it’s all thanks to our fans. They always go hardcore for us. We love them so much.

Lauren (Jauregui) got slimed. I ran off stage very quickly because I knew something was going to happen. We have a tradition where we go and eat at In-N-Out, a burger joint here in California.

Basically. And those outfits weren’t slimeable! But it was worth it.

We’ve been in the studio for almost a month and a half. It’s been amazing to be part of the process. We’ve been asking our label for a while now to be more involved in the process of making music, and they’ve allowed us. Just having our voices heard and having some creative direction between us – we’re all so different musically and genre-wise – made sense to create that Fifth Harmony sound. We’ve been exploring with different sounds and tones, and I think this is the most harmonious album we’ve had.

Our inspiration comes from one another and being on the same page. I know it sounds clichéd, but harmoniously, it’s amazing how we can all collectively share ideas – whether that’s sharing your past or what you’re currently going through. We get each other and have been there for each other during the past four or five years sharing experiences with one another and knowing that we’re now going through it alone.

That’s a great question, we’ve honestly never been asked that before. We always talk about communication, which I personally fall short on. That’s the core of keeping things on a roll. I’m a very internal person with my feelings – I’ve always been that way – so it’s been a challenging struggle to tell people how I feel and what’s on my mind. But with the help of the other girls, we help strengthen each others’ weaknesses. I’ve gotten better, but it’s still been a challenge.

I always listen to Leona Lewis. Her Spirit album was my everything. I know every word off by heart. Vocally and lyrically I feel her. I picture myself singing her songs; you just need to get to a vulnerable state where you can just feel. I hold her and Carrie Underwood’s albums close to my heart. It’s my little cute escape.

I love food, so I’d probably get everyone a free day of [eating burgers at] In-N-Out. That’s gotta be on the list somewhere. Apart from that, I’d pass an act of kindness towards one another. That’s so important.

There are so many great ones! No pressure or anything. I always loved Cinderella. Does that count? Or Bella from Twilight. I love her so much. I don’t know if Twilight’s still a thing. I’m still in that Twilight zone. I love me some Edward!
