Musically Move has been described as a dance-pop and R&B song that sees the group move away from melody-led ventures and features a more bass synth-oriented sound. The song received acclaim from music critics, who praised them for their approach towards new sounds compared to their previous work. It was named by Billboard at #92 of the 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.
The song peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, at number five on the Irish Singles Chart, and charted in eight other territories including Australia, France, and Japan. The group performed the song on both the Australian and American versions of The X Factor and at the Billboard studios in New York. It has been certified platinum in the UK and Brazil and certified gold in Australia.
Following Little Mix's debut headlining tour, they began work on their second studio album. They wrote the song wanting to show off their musical progression with a mature sound. The group achieved this by allowing the song to be more production-led than their previous material.
Little Mix co-wrote "Move" with Nathan Duvall and their vocal coach, Maegan Cottone. During a live stream, the group revealed the name of their next single, and Jade Thirlwall described the songwriting process as "We all sat in the studio together and vibed and made little noises..." Lyrically, the song talks of boys who think they are too cool to dance and ultimately leads to Little Mix telling them to move.
The official music video premiered on YouTube on 25 October 2013. The video starts with silhouettes of the band members appearing in front of brightly colored backdrops. They are then seen in a shiny white room and Thirlwall then begins to sing the first verse. Throughout the video, the members are seen performing hip-hop-style dances, with several dancers in the background. The video then moves to a large stage with bright flashing lights, where the group performs the final dance for the song.

Hey, baby
Tell me your name
I got a fever for you
But there's just one problem
I'm a bit old school
When it comes to lovin'
I ain't chasing you
Ain't waiting
I'm on a roll
You've got to let yourself go
Whoa (talk to me)
You know that I've been waiting for you (and I noticed you too)
Don't leave me standing all by myself (I won't leave you standing all alone)
'Cause I ain't looking at no one else (oh, baby)
Hey, get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall (woo)
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Hey, get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall (hey)
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Oh, silly
Why you afraid?
Don't be a big baby
Quit playing games
And put your arms around me
You know what to do
And we can take it down low
Whoa (hey), you know that I've been waiting for you (for you)
Don't leave me standing all by myself (myself)
'Cause I ain't looking at no one else (looking at no one else)
Looking at no one else (yeah, yeah, oh)
Hey, get your back off the wall (oh, oh)
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot
I think that I might fall
Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
Hey, get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Looking so hot

Feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas day came early (yeah)
Just what I want
So when we move
You move
I know that you wanna
But you can't 'cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So move
I know that you wanna
But you can't 'cause you gotta
Stay cool in the corner
When the truth is that you wanna move
So move
Move it baby, ohh
You know that I've been waiting for you

Looking at no one else
Looking at no one else
Hey, hey

Boy, come and get me
Don't be scared
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl

Little Mix's song "Move" is all about getting someone to join you on the dance floor and show off your moves together. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been waiting for someone to move with and wants them to let go of their inhibitions and dance with her. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer has a fever for the person but is a bit old school when it comes to love, so she isn't chasing them. However, she's ready to dance and have a good time. The verse suggests that the singer is interested in the person but doesn't want to force anything, and they should let themselves go and join her on the dance floor.
The chorus is catchy and repeats the message that when the singer moves, the other person needs to move too. She tells them to get their back off the wall, not to get comfortable, and keep dancing with her. The second verse is more direct and asks the person why they are afraid to dance and play games. She wants them to put their arms around her and take it down low, indicating that she wants to get closer to them. The bridge of the song repeats that the person wants to move but is holding back, so the singer encourages them to let go and dance.
Overall, "Move" is an upbeat, fun song about not being afraid to dance and enjoy yourself with someone you're interested in. The lyrics suggest that the singer wants to get closer to the person but doesn't want to force anything. The song encourages people to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy themselves on the dance floor.
