This Is How We Roll is a song by Fifth Harmony included in their first studio album, Reflection, which debuted on February 3, 2015.

Critical Response[]

Jason Liphutz of Billboard described it as pulsing with power chords in the chorus and grimy electro-pop in the verses, 'This Is How We Roll' is a Dr. Luke/Cirkut concoction that would not have sounded out of place on Kesha's Warrior album. As it stands, the track's fusion of pop-rock and club music fits awkwardly but does not fail to entertain, especially when the script is flipped in the final chorus.

"This song feels slightly scattered. The first 40 seconds feature the girls’ vocals and a single guitar and then it’s a total flip and it becomes a dance-pop track—reminiscent of Britney Spears and Will.I.Am’s “Scream and Shout”—before switching back to the guitar for the bridge. Each part of the song works on its own, but all together it feels like it doesn’t know what song it’s supposed to be musically, and the genres aren’t blended as well as they could.", according to Rebecca Mattina of andPOP.

"Produced by pop hit-makers Dr. Luke and Cirkut, it reminds me of will.i.am’s single “Scream and Shout” that featured Britney Spears. I never thought I’d hear Fifth Harmony on an electronic track or hear them singing about making it clap with no hands, but hey, I don’t mind a surprise or two", according to Marcel Jeremiah of PPcorn.

Fifth Harmony:
