"That's My Girl" is a song recorded by American girl group Fifth Harmony. It was released and serviced to contemporary hit radio on September 27, 2016, through Epic Records and Syco Music as the third and final single from the group's second studio album, 7/27 (2016) as the opening track.[2] The song was written by Tinashe Kachingwe, Alexander Kronlund, and Lukas Loules, with production handled by Kronlund and Loules.[3] "That's My Girl" is mainly an R&B anthemic track with elements of electro-pop and lyrical themes focused on female empowerment, encouragement and feminist influences. Several critics noted similarities from the group's previous singles, which also feature an indistinguishable militaristic production.

"That's My Girl" was serviced to contemporary hit radio in the United States on September 27, 2016,[4] the same day as its release. Prior to that, the track received airplay a month before, on Radio Disney.[5] It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at its peak position of 73 and stayed on the charts for two consecutive weeks. In national airplay charts, the single earned a top 20 on the Mainstream Top 40 and charted within the top forty of the Hot Dance Airplay. Internationally, "That's My Girl" placed in the top 20 in Scotland, while charting in the top 40 in countries such as Hungary, the United Kingdom and Belgium. The song earned a gold certification in the United States[6] and a platinum certification in the United Kingdom.

The accompanying music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released on September 19, 2016. The dystopian clip follows the group around an apocalyptic setting where they perform choreographed dance routines and save people trapped around a village dressed in white-colored outfits, inspired by the film Mad Max. The group performed the track on national television for the first time at the 2016 American Music Awards. It received promotion in commercials for the 2016 Summer Olympics, which featured the United States Gymnastics team. A remixes extended play was released two months after its initial release. It is also the group's last single (alongside music video) as a quintet featuring member Camila Cabello, as she announced her departure from the group in December 2016 to pursue a solo career.[7]
