Her first single is Don’t Say Love and then her next two singles both feature the word love as well. 
She's been teasing this A LOT lately online so I thought i'd finally make a thread.
Leigh-Anne to release a song without love in the title challenge.
Her first single is Don’t Say Love and then her next two singles both feature the word love as well.
Leigh-Anne: "Don't say love"
Also Leigh-Anne: "I can't stop f***ing saying it!!"
5/6 months since My Love
Out on Thursday
Apparently her label have refused to pay for a music video.
I saw that too. I bet if there is one Leigh funded it.
This is the article for those who have not read.
Apparently she said on Discord she is in rehearsals.
Damage control
I don't mean to be rude but it's kind of wild that after 10 years in the industry multiple of the girls would have such little business sense. I wish her luck but strategy wise this career path has been a bit all over the place for Leigh.
I agree everything is a bit all over the place and screams complete mishandled and same with them all from Little Mix so far unless Perri can buck the trend.
I'm not sure it really has been that mishandled, I think they tried as hard as they could to make both singles happen but it just wasn't meant to be for her. They're now at a crossroads and don't know where to go next.
I'll be astonished if an album actually happens.
“Two statement singles”
I did burst out laughing at that
Written by Ian Kirkpatrick, Jermaine Jackson, Philip Plested, Sam Elliot Romans and Leigh-Anne.
Produced by Ian Kirkpatrick and The Runners
Length 2:20
Just listened to the final version, such a bop. My favourite out of the three and a lot of my friends said the same. Sounds much more like what I expected from her.
I like the song - it's cute.
Love the sound of her voice but the song is kinda blah? It is missing an umph.
It doesn’t feel like single material or the sort of song to push if she’s already struggling. The chorus is catchy though but it isn’t near ML/DSL.
I like it on first listen but think I prefer the first two tbh
I also much prefer the first two singles (which I actually think are really good), this is album filler quality.
Yeah it is obvious a lot of the notations/awards are bought.
I agree, you can’t use the ‘I’m a new artist’ when you’ve got such a bigger platform than actual new artists.
Anyway, hoping I enjoy the other tracks on the EP more.
Leigh-Anne’s mom
'Stealin' Love' is pretty forgettable, I agree that the first two singles were much better. Maybe this will be demoted to a buzz single once it inevitably misses the top 100?
Yes I much prefer My Love. That's my fave of the three.
I really like this she sounds so lush . My only gripe is how short it is , it abruptly ends as soon it kind of gets going . It needed a bridge and final chorus to really take it there !
Does anyone think this will chart?
Capital will no doubt be all over it (they still play her other two songs every 5 minutes) but yeah I can't see it troubling the top 100
But I am absolutely taking this one. I wish it (like most songs nowadays 
) had a bridge and final chorus though! It's tooooo short </3
I used to be a fan of Little Mix (Jay can back up that I championed Move as a brilliant song on another forum when it came out and was being slated, it still is a great song). They lost me when they became very generic, stuff like Shout out could be anyone singing it. So I give them/their solo music a chance.
Not that I have to justify myself to anyone. Especially someone who has just decided to attack my personality, when all I have done is comment on the music and roll out.
You evidently cant handle other opinions (well ones you don't like any way), you have just demonstrated that very clearly.
You enjoy the song I'm not stopping you, wont tell you you shouldn't post if every comment you make is gushing or blind stanning cus if that is what you want to do then great. At least I gave the song a chance which is more than 99% of the public will.
So a song will be dropping every MONTH...
It seems there WILL be a music video, great I was worried there wouldn't be. Shame it couldn't be released at the same time, so I guess it is an official single or she's making a video for every song on the EP?
#4 on NMF Spotify.
Most reviews on the song have been generally positive tbf. 🤞
It's pleasant but not very interesting to me sadly 
maybe it'll click with further plays. My Love is my favourite of her tracks so far, got a really infectious quality to it, and I didn't mind Don't Say Love but I found it pretty faceless.
Its kind of amusing in isolation that her first track is 'Don't Say Love' and then she herself keeps titling her next songs something Love
129,191 full day streams.
Missed the Top 200 on Spotify UK
Not that iTunes means much but did this even break Top 10 on UK iTunes? There is a lot of love on Twitter for the song but I know that isn't actually representative.
Streams increased on Friday due to all the playlists it was added to.
+171,943
its a lovely track, very mellow! shame shes struggling to have commercial success, but singles 2 + 3 are so much better to the first one which is a shame cos the first one is the 'biggest'. excited for the ep too
I am obsessed with this! It’s exactly what I wanted from her
I think she is lacking that something standout unfortunately to make it as a successful solo artist, the singles aren't bad but lack standout.
I’m guessing no chance of this charting.
Day 1 - 129,191
Day 2 - 172,673 (+43,482)
Day 3 - 125,704 (-46,969)
Day 4 - 87,303 (-38,401)
Total: 514,871
The song is not appearing in the first look mids, therefore not looking to chart.
Very disappointing as a low midweek placement wouldn't require much.
Didn’t chart.
Music video is out
I love the idea of doing a video like this but I don't think it translated well? It's just missing something, there's no spark?
I do applaud her making the effort to make a video on an obviously tiny budget, atleast she's giving something.
I think miming along to the song would have even made a big difference to the video overall...
I think it's cute. I don't love her outfit, I was kinda distracted trying to work out what it is - a top or a shirt over underwear?
Is the success of this single make or break for her? I mean I’d like to see it chart but it didn’t trouble the Top 100 this week.
It feels more like something she's just thrown out there rather than something she's gambling everything on. I dunno, maybe that ship has already sailed?
I like the song, but if 'Don't Say Love' or 'My Love' couldn't be hits I sadly don't see what could for her.
The video is just what happens when a label slashes your budget. She can say it is artistic but really it is just cheap.
Tbh for all the impact that it will have she might have well have saved the money and not bothered with a video but I think having one is more about saving face. An EP not an album and a single with no physical or video would scream this is not viable.
It kinda begs the question why all of the girls shouted from the rooftops about their albums in the first place, when no such thing was guaranteed. Jade has played it well by not promising anything so far. It then makes them look a fool if what they promised and promoted never ends up materialising.
I really didn't expect Leigh to repeat some of the mistakes Jesy made with her solo career if I'm honest.
Have the label given up on her totally? The visibility of this single has been zero to the point I didn’t even realize she had released anything new until today!
I think I prefer the sound of this one to My Love which was a bit repetitive.
Really her career has not been handled well though. I feel like Jesy and Leigh both made the mistake of being overconfident or having too high expectations instead of working to establish themselves first.
I think unfortunately Leigh-Anne was just destined not to make it big as a solo artist, and that probably also goes for all 4 of them.
I am still obsessed with this song tbh. It's gorgeous. I think it's actually my favourite of hers to date.
As much as i'd love a Little Mix comeback, i'd rather wait a while, I'm really interested to see what they all do individually.
We haven't even heard Jade or Perrie's stuff yet, I feel like they have the most potential as they were the most popular within the group.
I want all four to thrive in whatever they end up doing and being happy.
It's usually an uphill task to achieve solo success coming from a band. The first single usually has the best chance, then the downward spiral starts. I like all three songs; I mean, I still prefer them to a lot of what makes the top 10 these days.
It does seem like she expected more though, and that's the problem.
Not this cover making me vibe with the song more lol
Maybe I'm just a sucker for girl group / 3-part harmony vocal arrangements
