Can We Just Talk About Little Mix For A Second..?

So, I'm aware a lot of you haven't listened to any of Little Mix's music. Maybe you don't like it, or maybe you just haven't really thought about listening to them.

But damn.

Their new song, Little Me, is about telling your little self, "hey, hang on in there, your spots will go away, life will get better, and don't worry about the haters because one day you'll be a superstar".

Let's listen to the lyrics.

Jade:
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word,
Always talking but she can't be heard,

Leigh- Anne:
You can see it there if you catch her eye,
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside,
Scared to talk but she don't know why,

Wish I knew back then,
What I know now,
Wish I could somehow,
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice,

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see,

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

Jesy:
Little me

Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age,
You can't write a book from a single page,
Hands on the clock only turn one way,
(Yeah)

Perrie:
Run too fast and you'll risk it all,
Can't be afraid to take a fall,
Felt so big but you looked so small,

Wish I knew back then,
What I know now,
Wish I could somehow,
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice,

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be, oh,
Little me

Little me, yeah

Leigh-Anne:
Tell you one thing I would say to her

All:
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out,
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder,
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see.

You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,

Little me.



Hey, if you don't like Little Mix by now or don't like the sound of the song, that's cool. You don't have to read on.

But if you do like the lyrics, and would like to listen to the song, this is the official music video;

And the lyric video;

Little Mix have loads more inspiring and just in general, really good songs such as Change Your Life, We Are Who We Are, See Me Now, etc. And if you just want to listen to a good old sad song, they have Turn Your Face, Pretend It's Okay, These Four Walls, Good Enough... Loads of songs. And then of course they have sassy songs such as Competition, Salute, Different Beat, Going Nowhere, and lots more. 

Just some artist/song suggestions in case you were looking for some c:

Because Little Mix are honestly so perfect, and they have music to suit most people's tastes. :)
