Jade Thirlwall: “There are a few songs on this album that are quite bass-heavy. But for this one, we were just like, ‘Why don’t we write instead about being happy and how a boy can make you feel amazing when he’s the one?’ And it just went from there.” We write with the heart and about how you’re feeling emotionally. And it’s always the easiest thing to write about. PE: “We get a lot of inspiration when we go through breakups and personal stuff.
When we released this song, everyone just needed a bit of a pick-me-up and a bit of a boost.” We always love a great introduction to the album as well. It’s just that ’80s synth that makes you feel good. Leigh-Anne Pinnock: “This song reminds me a bit of ‘Black Magic,’ but cooler. ‘Break Up Song’ is just that '80s feel-good pop fun. We had a two-day writing session where we wrote around seven songs, and the majority of them made it to the album. Perrie Edwards: “We wrote this with KAMILLE and some others. Read on as Little Mix guides us through each track of Confetti.
“We were in a headspace of ‘Let’s just write and see if we get an album, and if we don’t, we don’t,'” says Edwards. But it was a product, too, of a collective decision to rid themselves of pressure and just see where those sessions might lead them. That came, they say, from the confidence of being six albums deep and feeling emboldened to speak out-in their music and beyond-about sexism, misogyny, and the things they’ve endured as four young women in the public eye. But if those subjects were tackled overtly on 2018’s LM5, here, Little Mix-also made up of Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, and Jesy Nelson-has a little more fun with it. “We wrote it with a bottle of wine and we just had fun,” Leigh-Anne Pinnock tells Apple Music of Little Mix’s sixth album Confetti, titled as such because Britain’s biggest girl band wanted the record to “feel like a celebration.” Written during sessions between London and LA before 2020’s global lockdown, the songs include self-love anthems (the irresistible “Happiness”), feminist clapbacks (“Not a Pop Song,” on which Little Mix brilliantly rallies against being called a “guilty pleasure”), and breakup smashes (the ’80s-inspired and rather on-the-nose “Break Up Song”).
