"Deliver"
Song

"Deliver" is a song by American girl group Fifth Harmony from their self-titled third studio album (2017). Released on August 25, 2017, the song served as a promotional single for the album. The Stereotypes produced "Deliver" and wrote it with Taylor Parks, Whitney Phillips, and Fifth Harmony. It is a R&B, pop, and soul song; its lyrics revolve around sexuality. Fifth Harmony compared the song to 1990s R&B music, by artists including Mariah Carey and Destiny's Child. Music critics praised "Deliver" for its composition and the group's vocals; some commentators were more critical of its relevancy to 2017 music.

David Camarena directed the music video for "Deliver". Released on September 8, 2017, it features Fifth Harmony performing the song wearing black gowns. Commentators wrote that classical Hollywood cinema, such as the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes inspired the video's style and the group's performance. The video received positive reviews from music critics. Fifth Harmony promoted the single further with live performances on Live with Kelly and Ryan and their PSA Tour.

Recording and release

The Stereotypes produced "Deliver" and wrote it with Taylor Parks, Whitney Phillips, and Fifth Harmony.[1] Parks had previously worked with the group for their 2014 single "BO$$".[2][3] The Stereotypes members Jeremy Reeves, Jonathan Yip, Ray McCullough, and Ray Romulos also played the instruments. Recorded at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, the vocals were produced by Parx and Phillips, programmed by the Stereotypes, and recorded by Ronald (RD) Estrada. Phil Tan mixed the song. Parks provided additional vocals for the track. Bill Zimmerman worked as an additional and assistant engineer.[4] The song was released as a "buzz track" from the group's self-titled third studio album (2017),[5] and made available for digital download with the album's release on August 25, 2017.[6]

Composition and lyrics

"Deliver"
An audio sample of the song. Backed by a piano and "trap-lite beats",[7] it was described as a "piano-powered, gospel-tinged exercise in monumental swagger" by Chris DeVille of Stereogum.[8]

"Deliver" is a R&B, pop, and soul song that lasts three minutes and 26-seconds.[9][10][11] The instrumental includes a piano and "trap-lite beats".[7] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard described its composition as "buttery",[3] and Rob Copsey of the Official Charts Company called it an example of how the group "delve[s] into vintage R&B-soul".[10] Chris DeVille of Stereogum interpreted it as a "piano-powered, gospel-tinged exercise in monumental swagger" and compared it to R. Kelly's 2007 single "I'm a Flirt".[8] Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that it is a "R&B-leaning banger", with lyrics focusing on sexuality.[5] Mike Nied of the same publication described the song as focusing on a "promise to unleash a sexy time".[12] Lyrics to "Deliver" include: "Yeah, my baby knows that I deliver / That's exactly I'm gon' do."[7] Chuck Campbell of the Knoxville News Sentinel wrote that the single contained an "aggressive R&B hook".[13]

Members of Fifth Harmony had varying opinions on the single's influences and sound.[1][10][14][15] Lauren Jauregui identified it as "a song from the album that best shows off its R&B moments", and compared it to music released by Destiny's Child. Discussing the single's composition, she said: "The melodies are crazy and the concept is awesome. It bounces, and it’s super clever. Definitely one of my favourites on the album."[10] Ally Brooke spoke positively of the composition, citing it as "almost a creative chaos", and Normani said that "Deliver" reminded her of "Everlasting Love" from the group's debut album Reflection (2015).[1] Brooke compared "Deliver" to music released by Motown, and described its sound as a "kind of funky, jazz, R&B soul".[14]

When talking about "Deliver" during a track-by-track review of the album, Dinah Jane said: "It’s the kinda song for when you’re getting down with your man." She described the single as reminiscent of 1990s R&B, specifically music recorded by Mariah Carey, and explained: "It's the direction and lane we were trying to touch."[15] Jane went on:

Let me just say that [producer/songwriter] Taylor Parks delivered on this song — like, she wrote this song when we were in the room with her. She was there with us when we did 'BO$$,' and this is our second record with her, so once we played her some of our songs, she immediately came up with this direction. It definitely gives off the Mariah Carey tones — a little bit of R&B but modernized, and I think that’s why I love it so much. I love me some Mariah Carey, I grew up on that because of my mother. It’s just so special to me, especially melodically, it’s so thick — like, the little pre-chorus, it’s like you’re bouncing off of the melody, but you’re not.

— Dinah Jane, Billboard[3]

Critical reception

Dinah Jane and critics compared "Deliver" to music by Mariah Carey (pictured in 1990).[11][3][15]

"Deliver" received primarily positive reviews from music critics. Matt Collar of AllMusic praised the single as a "sensual, '90s-style R&B anthem", and identified it as a highlight from the album.[9] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times wrote it is "a smooth blend of bright pop-soul from the early Mariah Carey era and modern-day trap-influenced gothic R&B".[11] Mike Wass responded positively to the lyrics and composition, writing it contains "a chorus that burrows further into your brain after each listen". Wass suggested that "Deliver" should be released as the album's third single.[5] A contributor for MTV cited the song as their favorite from the album,[16] and Maeve McDermott called it a "bouncy standout".[17] Katherine St. Asaph of Spin praised "Deliver" for "cut[ting] through the tropical-rhythmic sameness" of the album.[18] AXS' Lucas Villa responded positively to the group's vocals, writing that they "come through with soulful, sassy performance".[7]

Other critics had a more negative response to "Deliver".[19][20] Allan Raible of ABC News was critical of the single, and cited it as an example of how Fifth Harmony "are mining a now stale formula that Destiny’s Child pretty much perfected right around the time of 'Bills, Bills, Bills'".[19] Discussing the Stereotypes' nomination for the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical for the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in part for his work on "Deliver",[20][21][a] Nolan Feeney of Entertainment Weekly wrote that the Fifth Harmony song does not "feel nearly as essential in 2017" as the producers' other work.[20]

Music video and promotion

Music critics compared Fifth Harmony's look and performance in the music video to past girl groups and classic Hollywood.[15][22][23] Brent Furdyk of ET Canada likened their gowns to Marilyn Monroe's from the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.[23]

The music video for "Deliver" was released on September 8, 2017, through Fifth Harmony's Vevo account.[24] Media outlets described it as a "surprise" release.[15][22] Before the release, the group tweeted: "Surprise, Harmonizers! We wanted to DELIVER something special as a thank you for your incredible support." It was the fourth video released to promote the album; the other three were "Down", "He Like That", and "Angel".[15]

David Camarena directed the video,[22][b] which featured the group performing the single "wear[ing] matching black gowns, gloves and assorted diamond jewelry" and "retro hairstyles".[15][22] Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone wrote that the group members appear in "full-on glam mode",[22] and Ashley Iasimone of Billboard described the video as "full of subtle, synchronized stage moves and beauty shots".[15] Alternating between black and white and color shots, the video features each singer in solo shots and a group performance.[16][25] Kreps and Iasimone compared Fifth Harmony's performance as being similar to those of previous girl groups.[15][22] A writer from MTV wrote they "recreate the classic Hollywood glamour look" by playing "beauties from the 1930s".[16] Brent Furdyk of ET Canada compared the video's style to Marilyn Monroe's performance of the song "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.[23] Madeline Roth of MTV News contrasted the video for "Deliver" with the more sexual one for the group's single "He Like That".[25]

The video received positive reviews from music critics.[5][16][26][27] A reviewer for MTV praised the group's performance and appearance in the video, writing: "It is clear that Fifth Harmony are more confident and comfortable than ever before this era, and the music is way more enjoyable for it!"[16] Mike Wass responded positively to the video and its simple concept. He explained that it is "[a] retro video is well worth a watch".[5] Sam Warner of Digital Spy wrote that the video "delivers on every front",[26] and Ryan Reed of Rolling Stone called it "a glamorous video".[27]

Fifth Harmony promoted the single further with live performances.[15][28] On September 8, 2017, they performed "Deliver" on Live with Kelly and Ryan.[15] It was included on the set list for the PSA Tour.[28]
