An important Number 1 for them back then but better tracks from Little Mix missed out on becoming Number 1s for them.

It’s not one I go back to very often, but they smash it whenever they perform it.

Hard to believe this is 10 years old now. A great debut although not one I really hear these days or for years even.

10 years? Where does the time go?

Whilst it’s not one I go back to much or at all honestly I still appreciate it for what it is.

Aged like milk but it was exactly what they needed at the time.

It does hold up very well 10 years on.

I still really like the song!

I wasn't even sure they'd last very long at this point. They certainly grew, developed and proved themselves.

Probably my fave Little Mix single.

Love the lyrical message and production.

This came on shuffle for me earlier *.* I immediately loved 'Wings' back in 2012 and still think it's pretty fun even if it sounds a bit dated now.

It was wild that this was covered on Glee laugh.gif

I go through stages with this song. Sometimes I don't mind it but then other times I ADORE it. It's so odd. I've never disliked or hated it, but it can border on "eh" depending on my mood.

At the time though, it was EXACTLY what they needed to start the shaking off of the "X Factor Winners" tag. It's what made people realise they weren't going to be any other X Factor winner. So proud of it's success and that performance at One Love is iconic and my favourite performance of the song.

Agreed, the One Love performance of this is iconic. Easily the best Wings performance.

Exactly my relationship with Wings. Same with SOTME. And they both are important landmarks in Little Mix history.
