All of Fifth Harmony is saying, “That’s My Girl,” to Normani!

After teasing an album for years, Normani, 27, officially announced her debut studio album Dopamine by sharing its cover artwork and 2024 release date on Instagram on Thursday. The news came much to the excitement of fans who have been clamoring for more music since the runaway success of 2019's “Motivation” — as well as her former 5H bandmates. 

Camila Cabello, Ally Brooke, Lauren Jauregui and Dinah Jane all voiced their support for the R&B star and her solo endeavors by leaving sweet comments on her Instagram post of the Dopamine album artwork, which features the singer atop a black rocketship in a leather bikini. 

“Let’s gooooo🔥,” Jauregui, 27, replied. 

Jane, 26, also wrote, “there she is 🥹🔥🔥.” 

Cabello, 26, and Brooke, 30, meanwhile, both added a series of emojis — responding with several rocket emojis and hearts, as well as clapping hands, respectively. 

The members of Fifth Harmony, who disbanded in 2018 and have gone on to release solo projects of their own, were among many famous friends who voiced their support for the "Wild Side" singer. Fellow hitmakers like Jordin Sparks, Victoria Monét, JoJo and many others also left thoughtful comments. 

Normani officially announced her long-awaited solo debut on social media last week by sharing the chic yet sultry album artwork and an image with the title and a date left blank, save for the year 2024, to tease that it’s due out soon.

As she posted the album cover, she wrote in the caption, “cryingg typing this rn. DOPAMINE THE ALBUM.”

The singer/dancer also teased the upcoming release and playfully nodded to how she announced a solo debut was in the works nearly six years ago with a post on X (formerly Twitter). Quote-tweeting a post she made in June 2018 that said, “I have my album title y’all,” she simply left the link to wheresthedamnalbum.com, which includes a 2024 date and links to pre-save the new project.

Normani has also since shared a snippet of an unreleased, new track. Although she didn't reveal the song's title or release date, she posted several sexy verses of her crooning over a sleek beat. "When I get you alone / Boy whatchu gon' do / With it / Don't talk too much just do this s--- / Boy whatchu gon' do / With it / When I get you alone," she sings over a '90s-inspired R&B track.

Shortly after the “Worth It” group went on hiatus in 2018, following Cabello's 2016 departure from the band, Normani began teasing solo music. She dropped several collaborations, including “Love Lies” with Khalid and the Sam Smith team-up “Dancing with a Stranger,” and then got fans thrilled for her solo trajectory when she released her Y2K R&B-inspired “Motivation.” 

Since then, few updates have been announced until now about the status of her album, but she’s released a couple more tracks: 2021’s “Wild Side” with Cardi B and 2022’s “Fair.”

In a February interview with Who What Wear, the singer opened up about her journey to create Dopamine and how her mother Andrea Hamilton and father Derrick Hamilton’s recent cancer diagnoses and treatments affected her

"Honestly, music got them through the cancer treatments. I remember being on FaceTime with my mom while she was undergoing chemo and her asking me, 'How's the studio today? How's the music coming?'" Normani recalled.

She continued, "As hard as it was for me to not be with them as much as I wanted to, ultimately, pushing through made the circumstances of the last few years feel a bit lighter for my parents."

The “Fair” singer also spoke about how the difficult experience impacted her goals as an artist. She said, "It was in those moments with my parents that made me realize that I have an opportunity to make an impact in this lifetime.”
