BO$$

**BO$$** è il primo singolo estratto dall'album di debutto del gruppo, Reflection. Il brano è stato distribuito il 7 luglio 2014 come lead single del nuovo album. Le ragazze hanno conquistato per la prima volta visibilità proprio con il primo singolo, un inno femminista con dedica precisa a Michelle Obama.

La canzone è stata scritta da Eric Frederic, Joe Spargur, Daniel Kyriakides, Lunchmoney Lewis, Jacob Krasher e Taylor Parks ed è stata prodotta da Ricky Reed, Joe London e Daylight. È una canzone R&B e hip-hop, ispirata a Bills, Bills, Bills delle Destiny's Child, Can't Hold Us di Christina Aguilera e No Scrubs delle TLC. Gli autori definiscono la canzone un inno all'emancipazione femminile. La critica afferma per lo più che, grazie a Boss, le Fifth Harmony sono pronte a mostrare un loro lato inedito più maturo e sexy, e apprezza le influenze urbane e R&B del brano.

Boss ha ottenuto nella sua prima settimana oltre 80.000 copie, riuscendo a debuttare nella Top 50 della Billboard Hot 100, alla posizione numero 43. Il singolo inoltre ha raggiunto la posizione numero 37 della classifica pop americana. Ad oggi il singolo ha venduto più 2.9 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo, scalando le classifiche di tutto il mondo.

L'11 luglio 2014, le Fifth Harmony hanno presentato la canzone per la prima volta al 'The Today Show' a New York. Il gruppo si è poi esibito con il singolo anche agli MTV Video Music Awards 2014 e al pre-show, in diretta da Miami, degli MTV Europe Music Awards 2014.

Per la promozione in Inghilterra, le ragazze si sono esibite con "Boss" alla semifinale di X Factor. La canzone è stata successivamente aggiunta nella scaletta del loro Reflection Tour.
