"Impossible" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Shontelle. It is the lead single from her second studio album, No Gravity (2010). It was performed by Fifth Harmony on The X Factor. It's one of the most special songs for the girls and for the Harmonizers, because this was the first song they ever performed together. Fifth Harmony performed the song both during the Judge's Houses stage of the competition, and during the semi-finals as their "Song of the Series". During the semi-final performance, Camila, Lauren and Ally added Spanish vocals to make the song bilingual.

This song was later released as the first single for British singer-songwriter James Arthur after he won the ninth series of the UK version of the X Factor in 2012 (the same year Fifth Harmony performed the song).

Following their completion of the X Factor and rise to music stardom, the girls performed the song 5 years later, in 2017 on Dancing With The Stars, on which Normani is a contestant. Ally, Dinah and Lauren sang the song and harmonized whilst Normani danced with partner Val.

Lyrics[]

Normani:
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

Lauren:
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Ally:
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Ally (Dinah & Normani):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Camila:
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now, oh

Dinah:
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Dinah (Lauren, Camila, Ally & Normani):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Fifth Harmony:
Impossible, Impossible
Impossible, Impossible

Normani:
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

Camila:
Y tú eras fuerte, y yo no
Mi error, mi ilusión
Sin cuidado, lo olvide
I did

Lauren:
Ahora ya esta hecho
No hay nada que decir
Te marchaste y fue tan fácil
Has ganado, ya puedes contarles

Tell them all I know know
Shout it from the roofs tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Ally:
Dile que era feliz
Mi corazón roto
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Ally (Lauren, Camila, Dinah & Normani):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Dinah:
And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if you're done embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky lines
Tell them what I hoped would be

Dinah (Lauren, Camila, Ally & Normani):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Camila:
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

So tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky lines
All we had is gone now, oh

Ally:
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Ally (Lauren, Camila, Dinah & Normani):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Fifth Harmony:
Impossible, Impossible
Impossible, Impossible

Normani:
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Lauren:
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Ally:
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be

Ally (Dinah & Lauren):
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Dinah (Ally and Lauren):
Oh oh, impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible (Impossible)
Impossible

Dinah:

Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love

Fifth Harmony:
I did
