Despite having an upbeat dance-pop tone, this song explores pretty heavy themes. Leigh-Anne wanted its lyrics to express the pain and frustration that came with feeling invisible and unheard for so much of her career and finally reaching the point where she no longer needs to seek external validation.

“Don’t Say Love” is Leigh-Anne’s first single since members of Little Mix went their separate ways, and she admitted that releasing music on her own wasn’t easy.

“Although I am nervous to do this journey alone and sometimes wish I had the girls’ hands to hold through it, I know they are on the other side of the phone. They have my back, they want me to win. As I do them. We are genuinely sisters for life,” she told Rolling Stone.

Flying solo has its good sides, as well, and Leigh-Anne recently told Vogue it feels liberating to work on her debut solo studio album without having to compromise.

Towards the end of 2020, Nelson reportedly left the group in order to deal with her mental health. Now it seems as though she’s ready to get back into the spotlight but on her own terms.

As a solo artist, Nelson has signed a record deal with global management firm YMU, a group also partnered with artists such as Steve Aoki and Take That.

Fans of Nelson will also be pleased to know that’s she’s already begun working on new material, after photos of her working in the studio with producers were recently released.

“I am so excited to join YMU and can’t wait to start my next chapter,” Nelson happily divulged.

YMU CEO Mary Bekhait discussed her company’s excitement about having the 29-year-old singer on board with them: “Jesy has enjoyed incredible success as a recording artist and performer and is well placed to further her remarkable career.”

Incidentally, Nelson isn’t the only former member of Little Mix to go solo. Her ex-bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock also recently joined another agency—although unlike Nelson, Pinnock let her fans know that she wouldn’t be leaving Little Mix.

Little Mix will kick off their next tour with a concert at the Falkirk Stadium on June 26th, 2020 and they’re expected to stay on the road for an entire month. The tour will conclude on July 26th, 2020 at the Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen, unless they announce new dates in the meantime.

The best part of the whole story? They’ll be following in the footsteps of Robbie Williams and Celine Dion, and performing at the BST Hyde Park next year.

“We’re so excited to perform at BST Hyde Park. It’s such a massive gig with a huge crowd, so it’s definitely going to be one of our 2020 highlights. We’ve been to see acts at BST before and it’s always such a party atmosphere. We’ll be bringing that to our set next year for sure!” said the members of Little Mix in a statement.

Their BST Hyde Park performance will take place on July 4th, 2020 and the rest of the headliners are yet to be announced.

Members of Little Mix shared the sad news with their fans on social media and explained why they won’t be making it to Australia after all.

“We are so sorry for disappointing our fans who were coming to the shows. This is not a decision we’ve taken lightly but we have to use this time to focus on recording new music,” read the official statement released by the band.

The Australian leg of their LM5: The Tour was supposed to take place between December 7th and 19th. This isn’t the first time they were forced to postpone their trip to this continent. Back in June, the Australian tour dates were delayed for the first time due to the release of their new single “Bounce Back.”

After this cancelation, LM5: The Tour will conclude with the show at London’s O2 Arena on November 22nd.

The former X-factor contestants have declared themselves as big fans of Black Pink. In the past, they have collaborated with the likes of Jaeson Derulo and Stormzy. Could this mean that a K-pop/girl pop collaboration is on the cards? Fans seem to think yes.

Last week, Little Mix appeared on Capital FM’s Jimmy Hill at Fusion Festival. It was here that they teased the possible collab after claiming they are major fans of the group.

“Who knows?” Jesy Nelson teased.

Jade Thirwall interjected: “Can you imagine the dance routine to that? And the costumes?!”

Jesy added: “There’s so many people we want to collab with.”

Little Mix may have a long list for hopeful collaborations, but Jade has said that they have already reached out to the group. She said: “Yeah, we’re just waiting for the DM back.”

We don’t have much to cling on to, but we can still dream. Here’s Black Pink’s single from earlier this year.

The upcoming series will debut on BBC and Geri Horner (Spice Girls) and Jade Thirlwall (Little Mix) have joined the growing cast of celebrity guest judges. They will join the likes of Graham Norton, Alan Carr, and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams.

Horner said about her confirmed appearance on the series: “I just love how drag encourages people to be exactly who they are. This show has brought so much joy and pride to people all over the world, I can’t wait for everyone to see the amazing queens representing the UK in this first-ever series.”

Thirwall also gave a statement in which she said: “I love absolutely everything about drag. I love that it’s art. I love how fabulous it is, how fun it is, I love that you can transform your body into a fantastic beautiful woman… the whole thing! I just wish in my next life I can be a drag queen.”

The official premiere date is to be confirmed but we cannot wait.

This amazing video sees the girls of Little Mix join forces with celebrated music video director Hannah Lux Davis, who previously helmed their Stormzy collaboration “Power”.

The video for “Bounce Back” opens with a little girl playing with her dollhouse, and things only get more epic from that point on. Once the camera gives us as a sneak peek inside a house, we quickly learn it’s not filled with Barbies, but the girls from Little Mix. They can be seen wearing a series of stylish outfits, singing their verses, and dancing to the beat of the music.

In addition to giving us another summer bangers, British girl group used their latest single to pay homage to Soul II Soul. “Bounce Back” prominently features a sample from their smash hit “Back to Life”, which came out 30 years ago.
