Singer Ally Brooke stopped by Billboard News and opened up about a potential Fifth Harmony reunion, her return to pop music, creating her new holiday EP Under the Tree and more!
Ally Brooke:
I’ve just learned to really own who I am and be unapologetic and just be free, that’s what it is, just to be free.
Tetris Kelly:
Hey, it’s Tetris with Billboard News, and look who I got hanging out with me today! Ally Brooke. What’s up, girl?
Your return to pop. You said, “You need a banger? Well, I’m gonna give it to ya.” “Gone to Bed,” tell me about the single.
I love it so much. So it’s basically about two lovers. You want to see your lover but you don’t, and you end up seeing that person and you’re like, “Man, I really should have just gone to bed.”
Tetris Kelly:
It’s like pop, it’s very in-your-face pop, but you dabbled in a lot of things from Latin to EDM. So what made you decide on this sound for this project?
Ally Brooke:
Well, I was going to the Latin route and I loved it, but I felt like I really wanted to go back to who I truly was, you know, the pop artist that I am. I have recently reconnected with my former A&R from the Fifth Harmony days, named Joey Arbagey. He’s amazing; he’s responsible for all the hits. We recently reconnected. He played “Gone to Bed” and I completely fell in love. I was like, “That’s my record.”
Tetris Kelly:
And the fact that you’ve worked with him for so long. So how has that been, to be at a new label, but also have somebody that knows you really well?
Ally Brooke:
We made, you know, history together. So to have that and to have like a fresh perspective now and being in 2023 is really amazing. I’m kind of bringing that old energy but bringing the new energy too.

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are identifying relatively modern holiday songs — released less than 20 years ago but adorning the Holiday 100 for at least five Christmas seasons — that look like they might have the staying power to become evergreen hits.
The biggest “new” classic: Kelly Clarkson‘s “Underneath the Tree,” which returns to the Holiday 100 top 10 this week at No. 9. The song, which Clarkson co-wrote with Greg Kurstin, was the lead single from her first Christmas album, 2013’s Wrapped in Red. It has so far peaked at No. 8 on the Holiday 100, in 2014. Could this be the year it climbs even higher?
For the rest of our modern merry melodies, listen to this week’s Pop Shop Podcast below:
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how Jack Harlow hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Lovin’ On Me” and how Dolly Parton scores her highest-charting album ever on the Billboard 200 with Rockstar.

Billboard News’ Tetris Kelly is in Tokyo for this year’s MAMA Awards and is giving us an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the awards show’s space and stages. A Catholic priest is relieved of his administrative duties after allowing scenes from Sabrina Carpenter’s “Feather” music video to be filmed inside a Brooklyn church. Paris Hilton shared two throwback photos looking back on her friendship with Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. Jennifer Lopez takes fans on a “musical experience” in a newly released teaser for her upcoming album, ‘This Is Me…Now.’ Ally Brooke stopped by Billboard News and opened up about a potential Fifth Harmony reunion, her return to pop music, creating her new holiday EP ‘Under the Tree’ and more!
Kyle Denis:
Sabrina Carpenter is feeling the heat, Paris Hilton takes us back in time, J.Lo teases new music, we get an exclusive look into the MAMA Awards, and we catch up with former Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke.
What’s good, y’all? I’m Kyle Denis. It’s Tuesday, November 28th, and I am bringing you news from our New York offices.
You will probably see some of my co-workers walking around behind me. I’m filling in for Tetris because he’s in Tokyo right now for the MAMA Awards, and he got an inside look at how the show is put together.
Tetris Kelly:
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, LE SSERAFIM, SEVENTEEN, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ and me? Guys, I can’t believe it. I’m in Tokyo at the Tokyo Dome for the 2023 MAMA Awards. Every artist you can think of is going to be hitting this stage, and I’m here to take you behind the scenes to the biggest event in K-pop. The MAMA Awards take place on November 28th and 29th in Tokyo, Japan. And speaking of the amazing show, I got to talk to one of the producers about what the MAMA Awards mean.
Hyoung-jin Lee:
It’s different in many ways. MAMA Awards is the world’s No. 1 K-pop awards. As it incorporates different technologies. It’s the most future-oriented awards show.
Tetris Kelly:
And speaking of it being high-tech, you’re a part of the performances. You helped produce this. I mean, some of my favorite stages have been at this show. BTS in 2020 was out of control. So how was it to arrange these stages?

Beyoncé hosted a glitzy world premiere for her highly anticipated Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Sunday night (Nov. 25).
The concert documentary, which chronicles Bey’s record-breaking Renaissance World Tour, was written, executive produced, as well as co-directed by the 32-time Grammy winner, who did not walk the fittingly silver-themed carpet at the event, but but snuck in and out of the screening with her family, THR reports. At the premiere, the superstar rocked long silver hair and a form-fitting, silver Versace dress.
However, plenty of Bey’s celebrity friends posed on the carpet in support of the “Break My Soul” singer, including Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett, as well as Janelle Monáe, Lizzo, Chloe X Halle‘s Chloe and Halle Bailey, Gabrielle Union, Lupita Nyong’o, Tyler Perry and Kris Jenner, among many others.
The concert film opens worldwide Dec. 1, with the final teaser trailer airing last week on Nov. 23. “Time is my biggest obstacle. It’s impossible to not realize how fast it’s going when you’re looking through the eyes of your children,” Beyoncé muses in the voiceover in the trailer. “I have nothing to prove to anyone at this point. We are creating our own world. This is my reward. Nobody can take that away from me.”
