Omg I looooooove Ayra Starr!! Cannot wait for this 
She’s teasing the second single on Instagram already, so the 25th seems likely.
You can see Leigh and Ayra recording the video for the second single here:
The second single appears to be on the way soon.
My introduction to Ayra is incredibly recently. It's a name I've seen floating around here and there but never really heard anything until I heard her on 'Unbelievable' by Tori Kelly on Tori's most recent EP! It's actually the one track on the EP that I would LOVE to hear Leigh on! So I hope it's in the same kind of vein! (Although Leigh would SLAY an EP like 'tori'!
They both look TF good in that video though!
Teasing the new single, 'My Love'.
Omg I looooooove Ayra Starr!! Cannot wait for this
Now THIS sounds good and choreo!!
I think it sounds a lot better than Don't Say Love, which whilst I liked, got old quick
This is giving me more of an artist and an actual sense of where Leigh-Anne wants to go. DSL was more safe, despite being a massive bop.
Choreo is looking a lot better than DSL too, im hoping they capture a lot of it in the final video!
It has to be coming out this week then? I mean, there's a full clip already.
I'll hold in my excitement for now, until I hear/see the full song. But it does seem promising!
'Rush' by Ayra Starr was very good and 'Don't Say Love' by Leigh-Anne was good too so it bodes well for this single.
She mentioned it comes before the end of August so I guess this Friday?
I suppose it's good that she's not waiting around!
I actually liked DSL a lot so hope she can bring it again.
According to discord no proper performances until October.
Funnily enough I actually was at a Ayra Starr set the other week. She's cute, but used a lot of padding so she's obviously very green. Interesting to see how this does for them both.
Hopefully it is better than the DSL one she hyped so much.
Sounding really good from the snippets
This sounds excellent! I'm not sure it sounds like a typical UK hit, but I love the sound and vibe for her! Hopefully it'll surprise though. But I am really enjoying the sound of that clip!
Ooh I’m liking what I am hearing from the snippet of the track and I love Ayra too. Can’t wait for this to be released.
Release date is 8th September!
Still over 2 weeks and we've got teasers this detailed already? Not sure if that's a plus or a minus.
There are 3 CD single variants now available to pre-order! Unsigned this time thanks to the OCC rule change, but free shipping 
https://shop.leigh-anneofficial.com/gb/
Edit: Looks like one of them also includes a bonus track!
I feel like DSL being garage etc felt like an obvious hit and I might be wrong here but this feels like it stands out way more ion a playlist or on radio. We shall see… The hook sounds more instant.
What was the rule change?
Ordered, wish they were signed though!
Hopefully it’ll have better playlisting than DSL.
New Spotify banner, I'm not keen on the photo.
there's a full thread on it in the UK Charts subforum.
Are we sure it features Ayra Starr? I can't see any official mention
there's a full thread on it in the UK Charts subforum.
September 7th? Is it being released on the Thursday then?
Yep. Obviously a thought out decision, curious to see how it plays out. Will the signed bundles not be counted towards the week starting on Friday?
Thursday releases irk me so much! For artists like Leigh a Thursday release could honestly make all the difference of where the track peaks etc but we shall see, I may be speaking too soon but it feels so counterproductive to choose to release right at the end of the week.
Maybe she did it so it could be playlisted on Friday on Spotify? I’m just unsure about whether the physical sales will or won’t count for the debut week.
Video already looks much better than the first one:
https://x.com/lapmanagement/status/1694403018370818205?s=46
Free shipping too btw! (Or at least with the bundle. I haven't checked them all individually)
Ooh loving this look too!!
Please don't make the video just close ups and beauty shots like DSL.
I'm very excited, I love the single cover!
How we all doing? I'm SO excited to finally confirm my brand new single! It's called 'MY LOVE', it features the brilliant Ayra Starr and it's out on SEPTEMBER 7.
This is a song I've been incredibly excited to share with you for so long. I wanted to wait and come with 'Don't Say Love' first because I knew there was a story that I needed to finish.
I wanted to start fresh with 'My Love' and come with a new lease of life, almost like a rebirth, which continues through the incredible video we shot (more on that VERY soon). With the sound & energy of this song, I knew I needed an equally powerful woman to join me on this song and I've been obsessed with Ayra Starr for so long.
I reached out to her to see if she'd be interested and I'm so happy that she said yes! I can't wait for you to see this video and I can't wait for you to hear this record. Let's f****** GOOOOOOO
I know you guys loved the CD singles for 'Don't Say Love' and I'm super happy to announce that we have CD's available for 'My Love' too.
There are two exclusive messages from me this time and one CD also includes the acoustic version of 'My Love' which I performed for the first time at my Capital Up Close show. If you were there, you're going to want that one!
You can pre-order all versions (including an extra special bundle with all three) now on my store via the link below.
This is just the beginning. We have so much more to come and I can't wait to share it with you. Let's do it, Legion!!!!
Love,
Leigh-Anne
xoxo
Sounds so good. I can't wait!
Loving the verse and sound of this, this is definitely more in the vein I thought Leigh would be going, although I still did love Don’t Say Love
Hoping the video is as good as these snippets!
Ayra’s part sounds so good. Can’t wait for this!!!
Leigh-Anne will be performing on BBC Live Lounge next month.
Apparently out at 6pm on Thursday.
Todays the day!
Andre just posted on Instagram stories - one of their twins singing My Love. So so cute 😍
https://instagram.com/stories/andregray_/3186465490531717444?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==
STOP IT! That's so cute! 
Leigh-Anne’s ‘hopes’ the album will come next year, she said she’s not rushing it. She wants to show a lot of sides to her before putting out the album.
While I never expected the album to come in the fourth quarter (even if it's not as busy as it used to be), it's not a good sign that they haven't decided a firm release date yet. There's a risk they'll end up chasing that big hit that might never happen.
OUT NOW!
I'm really enjoying it a lot!
We were spoiled with hearing a lot of it before hand though. Hoping the video will elevate the song even more!
2/2 for me!
Yeah I love this on first listen!!
Good song !
I'm more interested in the video - when is it out? Midnight or later tomorrow?
This is a SMASH wow , I hope it becomes the hit it deserves to be !!
This is much better than Don’t Say Love, it has much more personality and is more of a statement as to who she may be as an artist.
If there’s no active plans for any album, I’ll place my bets now that Don’t Say Love won’t be on it if/when it eventually comes.
This song is absolutely incredible!!! Leigh did what she needed to do. The production on this track is the highlight here for me, it’s so fresh and full of energy. I have a feeling that the video is going to elevate the song even more.
This is SO much better than Don't Say Love omg, what a bop! I'm still dubious about its overall success but I hope it can be a bit for her! Ayra sounds amazing on it as well.
I loved DSL, and still do. Not enjoying this one at all.
Snippet of the the video on the 2nd clip
Much better than don’t say love, such a bop and so instantly catchy! Hope it can do well next week, fingers crossed streaming holds up so that +cds (which have now shipped) can get it to the top 10
Video out at 5pm tomorrow.
Watching all these Leigh-Anne's clip and I can't help but notice she still has some talking mannerisms she shares with the other LM girls haha
Don't forget to drop your chart predictions 
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=265813
2/2 for me! Fabulous second single.
I definitely think this is stronger than ‘Don’t Say Love’ but I am not sure it’s the smash people are claiming.
I think the afrobeats vibe and Ayra Starr absolutely make this song. Ayra’s verse is so dynamic and full of hidden melodies that really elevate the second part of this song. I think it suffers from not having enough of these same dynamic melodies included elsewhere in the song.
I had the same problem with ‘Don’t Say Love’. The garage vibe and the instrumental were fantastic but it wasn’t a massive earworm… the chorus seemed underwritten to me. I sadly think the chorus of this has the same problem - sure repeating ‘My Love’ is catchy, but are there any more melodies and hidden hooks to reveal themselves on further listens? The chorus melody just seems too one dimensional sadly. Again, a lot of potential but underwritten.
Waaay better placement on NMF!! #2 which is great!
It’ll probably drop slightly when the Cardi song comes out.
Ohhh she has an instant Hot Hits add this time.
I managed to get a listen in whilst at work at 8pm-ish. It's been stuck in my head ever since! SOOOO good. I am unsure as to whether it will be a hit or not, but I really hope it can be one! It deserves to be.
Instant Hot Hits support and a top 3 placing on NMF is great news. Just need it to stick and actually help out!
BOP!
Great start on itunes, it's showing at number 4 for me.
#3 on NMF UK which is good!
This is great! Perfect vibe for late summer.
She's putting out really good stuff, regardless of whether it works out for her or not (which I hope it does!)
annoyingly, this song is way better than DSL but I don't think it's the vibe that the UK particularly like or would uphold whereas DSL was pure British radio through and through, so I can't say where I think it'll land.
I do hope it semi-smashes though, the vibes, the vocals, the feature - all of it just works so well (But I do agree that Leigh's verses fall a little flat but that chorus is a complete earworm)
Teaser looks great!
Not on Radio 1's playlist but is "Tune of The Weekend" (which is usually a good sign they will support in the coming weeks iirc?)
Capital have playlisted though!
It hasn't appeared in Apple top 200 in the first update today, yet
Already dropped to 59p on iTunes!
A little snippet
This has been on repeat since yesterday - sounds so good in the car!
So excited for her - she'll defo pull in a new audience with this track. Afrobeats is huge and smart move to position herself in that genre.
Also, that music video snippet is already more replayable than the entire DSL video for me!
Loving this! So much better than the lead single.
In at #193 on AM
Where was Don't Say Love at this point?
Video is out and it’s incredible!!!
Where was this filmed?
The video is a Serve!!!!!!!! Omg!
WOAAHHH.
This video is incredible?!
Literally better than every single Little Mix video.
I feel like i'm really seeing Leigh-Anne as a solo star from this video, she really brought it.
The looks, the choreo, the locations, everything was just great! The video really elevated the song even more, a perfect video.
Just wow!
Okay, the video is brilliant. It’s so expensive looking and the choreo is everything!
They have really dropped the ball with not making this the lead. If that video package had to come to launch her, I think there would have been much more initial hype.
She truly ATE with that video omg, I don't understand why they went with DSL as the lead - this shows a much clearer direction, personality and the song itself is stronger with a decent hook to it. I hope it can still be a rightful big hit for her!
ive had it on repeat! so so so so much better than dont say love, got bored of that after about 5 plays oops. this is such a bop! hope it gets the peak and chart success it deserves! fingers crossed for top 10!
HELLO MY LEGION!
Well, it's finally here! My Love is finally YOURS! I've waited an incredibly long time to give you this record and I'm full of emotions. It's been a real journey.
This song began life in one of my early writing sessions and from the first day, I knew it would transform into something magical. I really love Afrobeat music and knew that I needed to have someone who specialises in the genre help perfect this song so to have Magicsticks play a part in this made it all the more special.
Then to have the incredible Ayra Starr too was truly the icing on the cake. The verse she delivered is nothing short of perfection. I'm so proud of this song and I really hope you guys love it as much as I do.
Staying true to the origins of Afrobeats, I knew I wanted to shoot this video in Lagos and I'm so grateful to my team for making it happen.
This is without a doubt the proudest moment on this solo journey so far and I'm obsessed with the final product. Don't walk, run over to my YouTube channel now to watch the full video.
Thank you all so much for sticking by me, I truly love you all from the bottom of my heart. LET'S GO!
Leigh-Anne
xoxo
Can we just talk about the choreo? She never showed she was this good in Little Mix.
Video felt like a star making moment WOW I loved the song already but the video just elevated it even more
I don't like the song (and doubt it will be a hit if DSL wasn't) and the video is fine except for the annoying interruption before the last chorus. Arghhh stop doing that! It just puts people off replaying it!
Video and song are great.
I like DSL but this would have been such a statement debut single !
Partial day streams: 59,840
Leigh's Q&A before the video premiere
I’m kinda routing for her in a way I wasn’t before now this video is released.
She really is putting in maximum effort with this package isn’t she? I kinda want it to do better for her now.
That video is incredible. Insanely good!
Will comment properly after work but whew!
Great song!
Debuts at 189 on Spotify with 70,135
Not an ideal start at all
I don't understandddd??? Obvz as always early days etc.. and she has a higher mountain to climb after DSL performance, so we'll see for the long run, but mannnn I'm gutted.
#189 on spotify
Oh wow 70,135, that is like 28k less than what Jesy had for 'Bad Thing' on its first day and that ended up not charting.
I'm in shock because it has had great HHUK and NMF placements?!
I hope the streams increase over the week because of the spotify placements.
Edit: oop misread this as WW figures.
Hopefully she can drop a lyric video or her capital acoustic performance as those views will count towards sales right?
186k views on Youtube so far in 20hrs.
The song is nowhere near as good as DSL and she has used up all thise curiosity plays on DSL.
I'm not sure why so many think this is better than DSL, feels more people really wanting it to be and do better which I get.
Agreed this shows us more of Leigh-Anne as an artist and an idea of the direction she wants to go in!
Charts don't change my enjoyment of a song, it will remain a bop even if it doesn't do well.
I personally prefer Don't Say Love, but I think My Love is perfectly serviceable too. I tend to agree that the verses fall a bit flat for me.
All subjective - whether we say it's good or bad or flat, etc.
What's clear though is that she has put in a lot of hardwork into this project (and DSL for that matter). So if it ends up flopping, she can rest assured she has tried hard!
Not a fan at all. Loved Don't Say Love this is a non event
If she ends up getting an album out I'm sure everyone will opine what singles she should've gone for
Little Mix reunion sooner rather than later I reckon.
Not at the rate Jade and Perrie are going 
How soon is "sooner"? Another year? 2? 5? or when they reunite for an anniversary so you can say "see, I told you!".
Just let them breathe as solo artists for a bit, jeez It's tiring seeing this kind of comment the minute a song doesn't do the numbers you expected... It's a completely different era now. It ain't as simple as reuniting in a couple of years...
---
Whether this is a hit or not (I hope it's one of those that manages to grow through the coming weeks) I love that she's getting to do what she loves and has wanted to do since she became a star. This could easily just be another Normani situation (a lot of songs/collabs but no album kinda thing) although I DO think (as much as people probably won't agree 
) we'll get the album at some point.
I would like this to be a hit for her because the song is a banger and she absolutely deserves it as you can tell she worked so hard on it. But as a personal choice, I also don't care if it is one or not coz selfishly, the song is out there now and I can listen to it as little or as much as I desire to. If nobody else gets on board, that's cool.
As for my opinion on the song, I absolutely LOVE it and I cannot get enough of it right now. 'Don't Say Love' served as a nice introduction (which I still love btw x), but I really think this song solidified her as a popstar in her own right. It's so catchy and I see people saying the verses aren't doing it for them which does sadden me a little tbh, coz I think the verses are perfectly suited to the song and really help elevate the chorus more.
The video is just SO GOOD! It delivered exactly what it needed to and that was primarily to showcase her as a solo star! The bits in the woods are my favourite parts But all of it is... *chef's kiss* Ayra Starr is INSANELY stunning and beautiful too! I didn't know what she looked like before this as I don't think I've seen her before. She also excelled in her parts too. SO PROUD OF LEIGH <3
It's tiring seeing this kind of comment the minute a song doesn't do the numbers you expected... It's a completely different era now.My best part of the video is where she literally vibrates to the vibrate lyric. Love it!
I’m not in a rush for a reunion, I’m excited to see what all the girls do individually. We’re going to keep getting fed by them and it’s so exciting to see what they’ll put out individually.
Also I just wanted to say I still really like DSL, the video was just awful!
Ahh I can’t pick my favourite part of this video, there are so many! I love her in that silver outfit near the end’
It feels like the GP are not here for solo Leigh-Anne, I’m not sure if it’s because all of the girls never really established themselves outside of the group prior to the break?
Again as with single 1 there appears to be very little hype for this? If it wasn’t for here I think it’s release would have passed me by. I thought the LM fanbase would be all over the girls solo projects and getting them to #1 on iTunes etc., to get thing started.
At this stage I can’t see it doing anything more than DSL unless it really picks up on streaming and radio, with everything in week 1 (3 x physicals, 59p download) streaming needs to be mega for it to hold up in week 2.
It’s not like they’re in desperate need for money… I think some of you need to remember sometimes that whatever you expect or want for them is not necessarily what they want or even worry about. Obviously there’ll be disappointment because of an underperformance but that doesn’t mean they’ll just think “oh Little Mix was more profitable let’s reunite”.
And whatever they earned as Little Mix was divided by three anyway...
A reunion will always be there as an option so I doubt they will be in a rush to reunite.
Leigh Anne's big problem is she just seems to be lacking something as a solo artist. The songs are just missing something extra to take them to another level so far.
She feels very Mel B or Victoria in she adds nicely to a group and having smaller moments makes her shine more. A whole song just has moments it feels flat, like you want something more or different.
DSL could really have done with a Mysteeq style rap that Alesha added to them. My love tries to do that with the feature but actually it kind of highlights Leigh-Anne's short comings as the feature is the best part.
I’ve always said Jade will be the one that goes on to have the hits. If the Calvin/Jade collab is happening then she’s on the right track to get herself started.
I still stand by it. Jade will be the breakout star.
I feel Perrie could really hit out the park also.
We'll just see, supporting all four anyway however well or not so well they do 
Saying there’s little hype for this is crazy. This is all over social media at the moment. The video really has connected with people, there are a lot of big accounts tweeting about it and a lot of people are enjoying the actual song too.
Twitter hype doesn’t always extend to the charts, but it does create a lot of goodwill and excitement and it’s working for My Love.
I am so obsessed with this! I already ordered one cd single of it but 3 cds bundle for £4 with free shipping is a bargain so got myself 3 more! hopefully she gets some healthy physical sales and makes the top 40! i just wish it was doing better on streaming, its so catchy!
Already OUT on Spotify UK.
Yeah, I haven't seen anything about My Love (My Love!) in my timeline yet. I don't think there's anything in particular that's taken off in social media yet.
Number 12 in first look
Nice showing. Just hope it can stay top 40 at this point.
Deserves to be big!
Edit: it really sucks that the OCC have changed their rule on allowing signed singles in the charts… that was probably the biggest incentive for impulse buyers. Like, outside of STANS no one is gonna bother with CD singles unless there’s a big chart battle or something. Ugh.
^^ Of all the rules the OCC have come up with that has to be the worst, they’ve killed off an exciting element and a way for fans to get something signed for a few £.
And you are right, I bought the signed versions last time but haven’t bothered this time.
I’m sure it will remain Top 40, DSL started off at #4 (I think) and dropped to #11, so I’m manifesting a Top 30 for this - which isn’t the best but certainly not a disaster if they can somehow grow streaming.
Oh wow, higher than I expected, hopefully it won't drop out of the Top 40.
I agree with you both about the signed CDs, definitely a dumb decision, it has put me off buying CDs.
However, obviously in this case I bought them for Leigh-Anne!
Nicki Minaj was #20 in the mids last week and ended up at #46 officially and she had no physicals so fingers crossed Leigh can hold. The song deserves, it’s such a bop.
We need a full dance music video immediately!
243,413 streams yesterday.
I believe the 70k figure was just its first UK full streaming day streams.
This is the WW streams so far day by day:
That's actually stronger than I thought it would be too. Although to be honest, I wasn't sure what I was expecting exactly. Hopefully the Hot Hits placing & initial hype surrounding the other releases dying down can get it back in the top 200 during the week (I doubt it would be today's update but hopefully at some point in the week).
It's so hard to predict how things will do nowadays.
#21 in the mids - was hoping it would be safe for a Top 30 entry but not convinced now.
It’s holding up decently on iTunes (Currently #12).
Leigh-Anne saying the album ‘might’ come next year and that she’s not rushing it.
Oh dear at the midweek 😕 Shame because Lei-Lei's stuff has been fire so far, visually and sound wise, and nowhere near the ground swallowing experience of Jesy's material.
I'm wondering if any of the girls are even gonna get to an album at this stage - certainly with major label backing? Suddenly the rumours about Perrie and Jade's stuff being held back by label heads dragging their heels that was on Popbitch a while ago is carrying a lot more credence.
I hope that #21 can mean top 40 by the end of the week, fingers crossed streaming keeps up, i know its not gonna do amazing but at least a few sales from streams
Daily streams:
Thurs 7th — 59,840 (partial day)
Fri 8th — 310,376
Sat 9th — 243,413
Sun 10th — 195,184
Just heard the Stripped Version of ‘My Love’ on the CD single and it’s lovely!
My Love is such a bop...I hope she see's success with this one as it really deserves it. The video is a smash!
I'm just not finding it something I want to go back to.
Her first performance is up on Capitals Youtube page...However I'm having a hard time posting it 
She sounds nice, just not the best song for an acoustic session I think.
She seemed so nervous but she did well for her first live solo acoustic performance.
#23 today's update. Hope the top 40 is secured... Hope so!
Top 40 on lock now - glad that it’s stabilized.
Also Capital radio are really getting behind it, earlier they mentioned twice that the new Leigh-Anne song would be coming up in the next 15 minutes and then gushed what a banger it was when they played it.
This woman had twins two years ago and she's dancing like that in that video!
The sun are reporting that Leigh has been offered a performance slot on Strictly. Hopefully it’s true!
A strictly slot would be great for her so hopefully that true and good to see that she will get her 2nd top 40 hit officially tomorrow.
Ooh this just made a nice climb to #53 on Apple Music for some reason, it was lingering between #57-60 the whole week.
I don’t get why her songs underperform so much on Spotify.
Hoping for a solid debut. I’m expecting safely in the top 40, maybe top 30. Hoping for top 25 but I think that’s too hopeful
#51 on Apple Music now! Making some great gains today there tbh! I wonder if the airplay kicking in today is helping.
28! Better than I expected!
The dance seems to be picking up a bit, I’ve just seen 4 videos of it in the last 10 mins on my fyp (though maybe it’s just tailored to me) but fingers crossed it keeps picking up and hopefully that also equates to more streams. Deserves so much better that it’s getting
Not saw these posted here:
Disappointed it's missed the top 100 here in Ireland.
What did everyone think of those performances?
I felt like the DSL was pretty blah.
The My Love one was better but it was still just ok, I was expecting more from it. It felt like more of Anne-Marie performance, a performance any generic girl could do. I'm so used to Leigh serving in Little Mix and the My Love video, this was just a little too basic for me.
I hate that I sound harsh but i'm sure for a big promo slot hopefully there'll be a lot more choreo.
Full interview:

64 in todays mids, it would be nice if it could stay top 75 for a 2nd week.
Ugh. Solo careers are always so underwhelming...
Ugh, this deserves so much more.
I’m still shocked she hasn’t been on this morning, the one show, etc.
You would have thought her debut single would have had that treatment, instead radio interviews and dipping.
Sadly, I highly doubt she will release more music…
I don’t get at all the record companies nowadays. I mean, all the girls had been recording solo music for so long, so the record is paying the sessions, producers, etc. but if they don’t get good results immediately the game is over (Normani). Aren’t the record companies losing more money acting like this? At least release the album in some formats so the artist can do a mini tour and they can have some money back of albums, merchandising etc. From a record company point of view makes more sense to me make the girls release solo music earlier and in case that they underperform, stop of losing money with the record sessions, travels, etc. Guess is really hard or sad for the girls to had been working in their projects for so long and maybe they won’t be able to release it.
Where is the damn promo??? Her team/label absolutely suck f***ing balls. Where are the primetime TV performances? Where are the chat show interviews? Why is it just radio interviews in a day and age where no one gives a crap about radio?
Ridiculous tbh.
She’s an absolute star! She deserves longevity rather than flash in the pan hits.
I low key feel like her team gave up once they saw it was going to be a flop tbh
Why do they keep dropping 30 seconds of behind the scenes at a time, so pointless... just drop the full thing.
She’s going to the US again soon.
69.
Chart run so far 28-69
Big drop for week 2 but thankfully it stayed top 75.
But nobody is saying it wasn't good. It's still a fantastic song with a great video and deserves more success.
But nobody is saying it wasn't good. It's still a fantastic song with a great video and deserves more success.
She’s in Vegas.
Imagine seeing your highly anticipated solo career bursting into flames and leaving the UK entirely to do random promo in America instead of doing....anything here to save it.
She doesn't deserve to have hits if this is her attitude to her career.
94 in the mids
I'm guessing it is very unlikely that this will bounce back?
If this doesn't recover in the chart, I can't see Warner investing in another single.
I still think we'll get more singles and an album tbh.
I can see her jumping on a big UK collab next year and announcing the album, I don't see her giving up.
This could have done well with some promo, its a shame. Starting to question if any of the girls can make a solo success 
People keep saying she should do promo like being on This Morning would make any difference.
The reason the main promo is radio is to influence radio to play it, that would be the best chance of it becoming a hit (if it was a better song too).
Also, manage your expectations guys. Any of them having a hit as a soloist should come as a surprise (albeit a pleasant one) and not the other way round.
Still loving the track and the video. My track of the month ❤️
Sometimes I think y'all worry more than her. A bit cringe 
She's happy and doing her stuff so just enjoy whichever part you like. If there's none, then it is what it is.
She’s hoping to be the next big pop star.
It's officially out on 3rd week.
28-69-OUT
She wants to see where 'My Love' can go, seems like the next single of hers will come next year.
I can't pretend it's not disappointing I personally still love "My Love" but I just don't think she's connecting with people for whatever reason.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CyJgOoNrsML/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Awww bless her
I mean it’s pretty obvious she was expecting to pull numbers and high chart positions, despite people saying she wasn’t about that. I mean who wouldn’t want that?
However, I’m really glad to hear she’s overcoming the reality and that she’s working her way up (although she does have a better platform than other ‘new’ artists’).
I'm surprised at her surprise. But again, I'm surprised at my surprise of her surprise! She says/writes/shares things sometimes that make me cringe. She was the one who said on IG live that Trash would blow up Tiktok. She also shared a post of someone saying she'll be the Beyonce of the group. There are other examples I can't remember. Some of these thoughts/wishes/expectations for some reason get jinxed once they're put out there, which is why it's often best to keep them to oneself/inner circle.
I didn't like that people were blaming her for the performances of her songs. I think she's put in a lot of hardwork. The expectations are unbelievable as well. Artists from groups do not have their group's level of success; Examples are too numerous to mention. The exceptions are an anomaly, and it's usually one person out of the group
There'll be a bit more happiness in the world if people manage their expectations better.
I was listening to this loudly in the car driving home from work last night (best way to listen to music) and honestly I just don’t think it’s that good of a song. It’s ok but I’m not overly surprised that it hasn’t done amazingly well for her which is a shame because I really want her to succeed
Yeah it is true she is getting much more support than a typical 'new artist' would get as she's not actually new. However, at this point she can't help that.
I do think she needs to chill thinking she'll be the next big thing - not helped by her team hyping up as the second coming of Jesus.
Love Perrie!
'Paint The Town Red' and 'My Love' performed.

Hate that I didn't enjoy them
Part of this may be because I hate 'Paint The Town Red' but 'My Love' was also kinda blah. She sounded better in the PTTR though.
I enjoy the songs she has released (DSL/ML) but the performances just aren't clicking with me.
‘Don’t Say Love’ (the song only) aside, everything she does is disappointing me.
I think both songs are great, but I think it's clear she was never destined for big solo stardom.
I'm starting to doubt any of the others are either now.
Apparently she 'liked' Doja's Instagram post with the Sam Hyde pic...
She did, it’s still there on the cropped version of the photo where she captioned it with the eye rolling emojis 😐
Already heard Leigh-Anne twice on Capital Radio today - she’s certainly getting support from them.
I’m happy for her but I don’t understand how she won this with two underperforming singles.
Because she agreed to turn up and her label or management probably had some leverage.
Gaining some traction on Apple Music now! Back up to 76. Apparently it's quite high on their main playlist!
I don't know if i'm expecting too much from her but again disappointed, the little dance break at the end was decent though.
I wish she had a head mic and was just dancing her ass off the whole time instead.
These performances are falling really flat for me, idk if it is me but something feels missing. Also I feel she was performing a lot better in Little Mix than she is solo? The video was incredible but the performances aren't having the same wow.
She’s won another award from Glamour Germany for ‘breakthrough artist’.
Out of curiosity did either of her songs chart in Germany?
Her team probably has a deal with Glamour... how odd that this most probably a pointed/bought award, not necessarily a deserved one
Leigh-Anne is performing on Children in Need on 17th November, presumably 'My Love'. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001sgb2
Edit: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2023/46/children-in-needas 'My Love':
I feel bad for the new German artists that actually charted there. It’s so weird seeing her get these obvious fake awards, like this one is ridiculous considering her music hasn’t charted there.
These performances...
These clips are too short to form an opinion on the performances.
We must remember that these girls' entire experience with live performances was as part of a group. So it will take sometime to get used to performing solo and singing whole songs solo. At least she's actually singing live.
Also just seen the Kiss Haunted House party performances: It's no longer business as usual where they could get away with skipping lines/notes and asking the audience to sing (as they all did in Little Mix); such skips now make the singing so vacant/empty as it's just her and her alone. The performance of My Love was great though - she probably should have mimed all through if she wanted to focus on choreo/performance (like most other artists do - including her ex-bandmate)
She has no stage presence, it is like someone off the street has walked up to give it a go.
Three remixes out tomorrow!
Tonight’s performance, disappointed again.
I feel like I sound harsh but she’s performing so basic in these performances and the vocals just seen it.
Where is the Leigh-Anne from the my love video and the one in the last few years of LM.
Guess it explains why Capital have been hammering My Love even though it was a huge flop.
Thats better, but it is mainly because it is a TV editing... She is more confident though, good for her. She needs to work on them vocals, sorry. Her being out of breath most of the time and even not singing a lot of the verses or chorus looks bad.
She really needs to improve. It's a shame cos the song is good!
She kind of just doesn't feel like a star with a great deal of presence on her own, does she?
I know that sounds harsh because I really like her but she always just looks kind of... small and timid in performances I see, even though the looks are striking. I'm yet to see anything so far where I'm like "okay, she's arrived!". I still think the song is great though and definitely where she belongs.
I agree with you all.
The beginning sounded great but that’s because it was mined. I’m just really underwhelmed with all of her live performances
She's probably still lacking in confidence from her experiences in the group as told in her book. If you watch back even her most recent performances in Little Mix and pretend the other girls weren't there, there really isn't much difference with her current performances as a soloist. Still same Leigh-Anne, so not underwhelmed.
Sometimes, some people are better off in a group.
Will she get better? Who knows! Time will tell.
Apart from the usual few we can easily count, I don't know many ex [successful] GG members whose consecutive live solo performances (not music videos with all the padding) are particularly striking.
She really is so timid for someone with 10 years experience including tours!
I’m sorry but nobody wants this.
Loved this performance! She ate. She’s looking more comfortable and confident with each one. Easily the best one yet.

Agreed, her confidence has gotten a lot better!
Heavy pre-record the first half but better than her recent performances.
Girl is WORKING, not her doing more international promo now than all her time in Little Mix. Fair play to her and her team getting her out there!
Loving the hair and the colour, it suits her.
Her response:
She really doesn't need to be responding to random people on insta, just makes her look petty.
I think that response comes from being defensive as she knows her solo career isn't going well so far.
I was about to say, I'm not sure I'd call the state of her solo career at present "winning"
Damn, some unnecessary negative comments in here. She's doing fine. She's finding her feet as a solo artist and I'm seeing growth with each performance.
That response is so....childish.
Take constructive criticism Leigh.
That's NOT constructive criticism; that's trolling.
The offending troll isn't the issue now, rather her response is getting the dissection.
Is she winning? Depends on your definition of winning - putting out #1 singles, or personal growth. Only you can define your wins, and not some random person on the Internet.
"Off key performance" is a negative generalization. "Constructive criticism" does not brand the entire performance off key with that emoji. The tone of that comment reeks of mockery and condescension - like, isn't that obvious?
Such comments are what people write on forums like this and on daily mail. Taking it to the person's page is insolent, and so they can decide to respond however they wish on their page/profile.
I actually enjoyed this performance and the mini dance break, a lot more confidence!
My Love is an epic song! Should have been way bigger !
