Fifth Harmony had to change new single name because of Rihanna

Fifth Harmony decided to change the name of their latest single to avoid confusion with Rihanna's new track.

The girl group today (February 26) unveiled the song 'Work From Home'.

It is the first tune lifted from Fifth Harmony's upcoming second album '7/27'.

Speaking to Billboard, singer Dinah Jane Hansen said the song was originally called 'Work'.

However, Rihanna's recent single of the same name put paid to that idea.

She said: "Our song was originally called 'Work' and when Rihanna dropped, it was like, 'Hell no, can't have the same song as the queen'.

"So we put in 'from home', just added two words."

Hansen added that she feels '7/27', which will land on May 20, delves deeper into the band's identity.

She said: "This album definitely shows our ethnicities. I'm an island girl, from the Pacific Islands. I'm Polynesian, a mix of everything, Tongan, Samoan, Danish.

"Everyone always thought of me as being African-American or Latin, and I love that, but I'm glad I can bring a little island to this album. With the new music, we were giving it a little reggae vibe with the beats - that represented me. And we all love it."
