OMG this single mix is a MESS :') I should have just used the album version lmao!

 

WHAT A SONG THOUGH.

 

So anthemic and empowering! Always incredible on tour too!

I'm so happy this was a big success for them! I was so worried about it coming after Word Up!

imagine having the salute album + releasing 'little me' + doing a cover of 'word up' when you have the likes of 'competition' 'towers' + 'a different beat' sitting right there!

The BGT performance really turned things around for them I think, remember watching with my family and we were all blown away!

 

I love what they did with this for the LM5 tour, the choreography was fire!

 

To me Salute was the end of phase 1 of Little Mix

The song that I (and many other Mixers) will be TRULY grateful for.

 

A massive pop banger and the video... Incredible.

 

THE BRITS PERFORMANCE

The song that changed everything for them :heart:

L-O-V-E this song :music:

 

I love a good retro-inspired pop girl band bop!

 

The UK X Factor performance of this

For a long time, this was my favourite Little Mix song. I still absolutely ADORE it and it's in the top 5 of my favourite songs for them. A fantastic, soaring, power pop ballad! Stunning!

much prefer Secret Love Song part 2

Another song that I wasn't best pleased at being announced a single, but fortunately the single remix, yet again, elevates this so much for me and the video certainly helped too! Such a fun and cheeky song! The video is so good. Clearly done on a budget, but it was done so SO well.

Secret Love Song is the best single from this era for me, with Love Me Like You a close second. (Mainly cause I spam the Christmas remix in December :lol: ).

 

Black Magic and Hair are on the slightly too cheesy pop side for my taste

I'd have preferred Lightning to have been given a release, but I can't ignore this infectious bop when it's on!

14. SHOUT OUT TO MY EX | UK PEAK: #01 (3 Weeks)

 

 

FULL TOP 75 UK CHART RUN: 1-1-1-2-3-3-5-7-10-13-6-9-16-19-19-27-33-35-36-32-51-57-75R(3) > 23 Weeks

Another incredibly infectious, joyous pop banger!

 

The chorus really GOES OFF!

 

I loved the release strategy of this, just because it showed how much faith Syco had in them to be able to release on a Sunday evening after being given a prime time performance slot on the X Factor. The performance was incredible too (obvz lol x)

 

The BRITs performance though

 

:cheeseblock:
