The time for track 05 has been released, which 9 times out of 10 means they're getting ready to release the song as a promo single!

H Y P E!

I wonder if it'll be a slower song this time around? I hope so!

Bit odd there’s no announcement yet.. I remember LM5’s tracklist came at 9:30 so there’s still time for an announcement.

Could be that they’re just prepping for single #3 next week but the iTunes update is usually for like an immediate release (well semi-immediate not 9 days later)

Posted by: caseclosed 14th October 2020, 08:22 PM

If they announce it tomorrow for Friday I just hope it's before it's out in NZ as the song being out without their announcement would be embarrassing.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 14th October 2020, 09:18 PM

I hate to say it but I’d rather not have another promo and just build hype for the next single at this point.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 14th October 2020, 11:00 PM

Just had a thought, maybe they intended to release track 5 Friday and then perform it on Saturdays live show but obviously this has been pushed back to next week.


Posted by: legendsglory 15th October 2020, 06:23 AM

iTunes is showing this as ‘Happiness’ 👀

Posted by: legendsglory 15th October 2020, 07:06 AM

Happiness out This Friday.


Posted by: jsweetxe 15th October 2020, 08:21 AM

Not sure what to make of it, I hope it's an angsty self-love song. TMS + Kamille + MNEK is an interesting combo considering they all seem to have their own sound, I hope it's not as polarizing as Not a Pop Song.

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th October 2020, 11:07 AM

This is *so* incredible

Posted by: Tafty 15th October 2020, 11:26 AM

Ooft! Exciting.

Looking forward to hearing it!

Posted by: Fallin' Folklore 15th October 2020, 11:33 AM

This is so so good!!!! Holiday & Not A Pop Song found dead in a ditch.

That chorus is fab wub.gif I think someone said in the Confetti thread but I do hear NTLTC in the chorus & bridge!!

Posted by: caseclosed 15th October 2020, 11:36 AM

This is amazing!

Posted by: troylovesmusic 15th October 2020, 11:43 AM

This is so great . Very much giving me No Tears Left To Cry vibes !

Posted by: Anth 15th October 2020, 11:56 AM

You guys have got me soo excited to hear this!! Can’t wait!!

Posted by: kye 15th October 2020, 11:57 AM

it's a great track but that chorus is literally 'no tears'..

Posted by: Tafty 15th October 2020, 12:03 PM

This is incredible. HOLY!!

Posted by: legendsglory 15th October 2020, 12:40 PM

This is INCREDIBLE! wub.gif Wow.

Posted by: Tafty 15th October 2020, 12:53 PM

This is very dramatic and EXACTLY the sort of pop we need to see more of from them wub.gif

I'm shook - all eyes are on Sweet Melody now... ohmy.gif

Posted by: Anth 15th October 2020, 01:05 PM

How have you all managed to hear this??

Posted by: Cremey 15th October 2020, 02:14 PM

This is great. Why was Holiday the second single when they had this?
Hopefully it’ll be a single at some point.

Jesy’s voice is a bit much at the start though. Had to listen really closely to work out what she was singing haha, I find that in general with her :’)

Posted by: Zak 15th October 2020, 02:17 PM

This is excellent but where are Jesy's lines lol. I don't even think she's on the chorus.

The chorus is so anthemic but oh WOW. Obsessed

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 15th October 2020, 02:26 PM

Can someone link me pretty pretty pleaseeee

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 15th October 2020, 02:34 PM

Thank youuuu. WOW WOW WOW!

Incredible.

I really hope this makes top 40 next week seeing as NAPS did well and this rains all over it.

The chorus vocal mixing is probably my biggest let down regarding the song (and even then it's still a solid 11/10) because the chorus isn't harmony heavy, it's mainly Jade/Perrie leading (Jesy is very present in the first part of the chorus), but Jesy is the lead harmony during the bridge and she's also in the harmony towards the end.

Yeah I just heard her more on repeat listens, especially in the bridge. Jade and Perrie basically getting the long af chorus to themselves though 🥴. Good thing it's excellent so I won't mind as much!

I'm obsessed with this.

I have the song on Whatsapp so the only way I can share it is messaging it so I'd need phone numbers.

Posted by: Anth 15th October 2020, 03:41 PM

Thanks for sending the links! I can’t listen to it till I finish work, 5:30 can’t come quick enough!

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th October 2020, 04:13 PM

#20 on NMF New Zealand, pretty sad considering how well NAPS was pushed. Kinda wish this received the same treatment, or treatment instead of, as its easily the best of the promos.

Posted by: Anth 15th October 2020, 04:45 PM

Amazing!! So good 🥰🥰

Posted by: 1hit1der 15th October 2020, 04:58 PM

First listen and I'm hooked - this is so good!

I'm loving the melody and the 'No Tears' beat in the chorus. What a vibe! And those ad libs...

Agree, it sounds very DRAMATIC and EXTRA. I'm here for it! biggrin.gif

I assume they want this to be nothing more than a teaser into the album and won't want it over shadowing the next single (presumably released next week), whereas NAPS had 2 weeks to die down, by that time.

Imagine if they pushed this similarly to NAPS and this took off, over the actual 3rd single? laugh.gif

Posted by: shindymindy 15th October 2020, 06:25 PM

This could become a later single (like hair) so they could be holding off from a bigger launch

Posted by: Zak 15th October 2020, 09:52 PM

You can rain on my happiness
Yeah, sometimes tears fall, I must confess
But now I'm standin' right where I'm meant to be (Be)
I found the love, I found the love in me


A career highlight me thinks. Giving me the same pop perfection buzz that Touch, Power and NMSS did.

Posted by: Robbie. 15th October 2020, 11:04 PM

In at #4 on NMF.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 15th October 2020, 11:06 PM

Ok this actually sounds incredible on Apple Music.

Happiness into NAPS sounds perfect too!

This album is fast shaping up to be my favourite.

This low key sounds like it features a chorus from The Sats I’m living for it!

Likely to be down to #5 in the morning after Bieber gets added, but this is crazy good for the 2nd instant grat/promo single!

*Single 3 gets #6 on NMF*

Honestly early, EARLY days, but I think over time, this will be challenging NMSS & Wasabi as my very favourite LM song.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 15th October 2020, 11:28 PM

Apple have ignored it...It’s not on NMD sad.gif

Posted by: Tafty 15th October 2020, 11:36 PM

I really need this to be a single. This is honestly flawless.

*receives the Wasabi treatment*

Posted by: Jαsє 15th October 2020, 11:36 PM

I swear if this isn't a single... drama.gif

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th October 2020, 11:47 PM

They had plans for Wasabi to be a single didn’t they? We would’ve gotten it if it weren’t for the label change.

I’m hoping this is a lot more instant with people than NAPS and it may be a hit that sticks. It’s so much less polarising than NAPS. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say anything negative about it thus far. 👀

Posted by: Tafty 15th October 2020, 11:48 PM

From the reactions this is possibly their most well received song since the Glory Days era?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 15th October 2020, 11:52 PM

It’s fast becoming my favourite song EVER!

I can’t even sleep it’s just on repeat!

I’m usually not bothered but I will genuinely be annoyed it NAPS peaks higher laugh.gif


Posted by: JesyMix 16th October 2020, 12:18 AM

Break Up Song is excellent but this very well may be my favorite song of the era so far. It should've been the lead single!

Posted by: Anth 16th October 2020, 06:02 AM

Hmm strange NMD has updated and it’s no where to be seen 🤔

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th October 2020, 07:42 AM

They actually just teased Sweet Melody on twitter so I’m guessing it’s coming next week, so I get that there’s no push for Happiness.

It is indeed. It should have the video released on the same day too, if all goes well.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th October 2020, 08:19 AM

Apple have added it to NMD finally!

I thought it would do better on iTunes than NAPS but I guess the whole Simon reference gave it big publicity

I don't think the Simon reference helped at all, more than likely it was because this was our first taste of Confetti since Holiday, so we hadn't gotten anything for 2 months lol.

Happiness is just *so* good, so I'm hoping it manages to stay afloat and debut top 75 just based on likability.

Posted by: TR252 16th October 2020, 08:47 AM

This is awesome, I think this should have been the second single instead of Holiday.

Posted by: LMLou 16th October 2020, 09:52 AM

They're really 4 for 4 this era for me. I don't love this as much as everyone else seems to but it's still pretty great and I'm sure it'll grow on me.
Even more excited for the album now

Posted by: Slick 16th October 2020, 10:12 AM

I love this! Should definitely be a single.

Posted by: George.keh 16th October 2020, 11:00 AM

Posted by: Billy. 16th October 2020, 11:36 AM

The fact they didn't think this was lead single worthy honestly freaks me out!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th October 2020, 11:59 AM

OK, how the FUCK did they release 'Holiday' as a single when they had this?!

That is maddening.

Posted by: AaronTM 16th October 2020, 12:03 PM

This is easily the best song from the era so far, definitely back up to their usual standards. I hope they're releasing it now to test the waters for how it would do as a single later down the line because it's too good to be left as an instant grat.

I definitely see the "No Tears Left To Cry" comparisons but I could also imagine it being the sort of song that could have a BANGING garage remix.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th October 2020, 12:05 PM

I really don't understand Holiday being a single over this either BUT potentially they knew they had all these gems and Holiday acted as a buffer with these superior singles acting to create a 'buzz' for the album..

They could be being performed on The Search?

Who knows, but I do feel Holiday was more of a filler for the summer leading into better singles for the album's release?


It would be nice if this time around after LM5 we actually had a proper album and singles campaign with a couple of singles to follow based on public perception BUT do we even think this is possible now? Is there enough hype for an album song which fans all own becoming a successful single?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th October 2020, 12:08 PM

Pretty devastating that this is 690 on Apple Music while NAPS has climbed to 143 sad.gif

Posted by: *Tim 16th October 2020, 12:09 PM

Posted by: jlj 16th October 2020, 12:23 PM

Omg why the hell is this not a single!!!! It’s their best song since Touch.

It actually sounds like no tears left to cry. This is a definite smash ready and waiting. If it’s not single 3 it needs to be single 4.

Same, who is making these decisions?! Hopefully they're reading forums like this to see the reaction this is getting.

Not quite sure I hear the 'No Tears Left to Cry' comparisons though.

Posted by: Tafty 16th October 2020, 01:59 PM

Corona definitely threw a spanner in the works. I lowkey think they were scheduled for a Summer album and wasn't there another song that was scheduled to be the lead (I wanna say it was Sweet Melody - video was planned to be shot in Brazil whilst they were there)

I assume they wanted to save SM until they had an idea of the albums release. So opted for BUS as the lead and I guess they wanted to try and capitalise on the last few weeks of Summer, with Holiday.

Idk. That's my guess aha.

Posted by: Frenchie 16th October 2020, 02:14 PM

I'm liking this a lot, the production is so lush. Only downside is some of the lyrics are a little on the cheesy side for me. Holiday sound so out of place compared to the other three tracks.

Posted by: LMLou 16th October 2020, 04:50 PM

Given it a few more hours and I’m already obsessed with this

Posted by: Chemistry 16th October 2020, 06:07 PM

I LOVE it, especially the chorus is on fire. Definitely had this on repeat today and seems like their strongest one this era (and I love the other three we have had so far).

Posted by: Slick 16th October 2020, 06:52 PM

Absolutely LOVING this. Definitely the best thing from them since LM5 (and maybeeeee before!)

Posted by: Zak 16th October 2020, 07:29 PM

On 70 plays of this already. It was a cultural reset. Wonder if Confetti is gonna dethrone GD as my most played album (since I started using last fm) 🤓

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th October 2020, 02:24 AM

I was having a drunken Friday night in with my housemates tonight, they were all fighting over the music because they couldn't agree on a song to play... so I played them this, it stopped them all dead in their tracks and they all LOVED it.

If that doesn't spell out the potential of this song, I don't know what does. They're foolish if they waste it...

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 17th October 2020, 04:14 AM

Doesn’t mean much but it’s #1 on Amazon bestsellers in songs.

Also, Not a pop song, holiday and BUS all high up wub.gif

The exact same thing happened the first time I ever played 'Power'.

I really hope this becomes a single somewhere down the line.

Posted by: shadow2009 17th October 2020, 08:49 AM

This is....amazing? Genuinely top 5 Little Mix already. So much better than Holiday and Not A Pop Song, I'd even say it's better than Break Up Song as well?

Needs to be a single featuring Craig David. laugh.gif

Posted by: Rossco 17th October 2020, 01:39 PM

This is the 2nd best song of the era so far behind BUS in my opinion - that’s one of their best for me so would be hard to beat it. I do agree this would make a good single with a feature.

Posted by: Tafty 17th October 2020, 04:43 PM

Debuts at 76 on UK Spotify. Roughly where I expected it. V happy with that! V low streams this week though. NAPS would have been close to the top 50 with it's amount, this week!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th October 2020, 09:40 PM

I feel like this is contending to be their absolute best song EVER.

It's just stunning.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th October 2020, 05:02 PM

So, at the very least this will get an official chart placing even if it's never pushed as a single.

Posted by: Klumpkin 19th October 2020, 06:37 PM

Just throwing in my two cents to say this is brilliant and the most instant song of the era for me! I've really enjoyed both promo singles and they've certainly done their job in getting me excited for the album! Hopefully it'll get made into a single at some point, I could see this being a January hit after the Christmas rush as it's an instant song and would rocket up the charts!

Posted by: shindymindy 23rd October 2020, 05:24 PM

Debuts at 58

Posted by: JulianNial 26th October 2020, 04:25 PM

I just realised this gives me proper Mis-teeq vibes during the verses,

Jades 'Remember I, I was mine...' is EXACTLY like some of the lines in 'Can't Get It Back'.
