They were the first group to win the competition, and following their victory, they signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Music and released a cover of Damien Rice's "Cannonball" as their winner's single. The group are known for their strong vocals and signature harmonies, as well as their representation of female empowerment and unity.
Having sold 70M records worldwide, they're now the 3rd biggest girl group of all time. Little Mix has proven multiple times that they're one of the most talented and hardworking artists in the industry. They made history in 2021 as the first female girl group to have won the Brit for 'Best Group'.
The group is currently on hiatus to focus on themselves and work on solo careers. A comeback with more music as a trio has been promised by all three of the girls for the future.
These Four Walls
Little Mix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring at the shower wall
It's begun,
The feeling that the end has come
And now the water's cold
I tried to eat today
But the lump in my throat got in the way
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a hundred times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
These four walls and me
I lay in bed
Can't seem to leave your side
Your pillow's wet
From all these tears I've cried
I won't say goodbye
I tried to smile today
Then I realized there's no point anyway
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a thousand times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
These four walls and me
Oh oh oh
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
These four walls and me

I feel like our relationship is coming to an end
And now the water's cold
I've been in the shower for a while and now the water has turned cold
I tried to eat today
I attempted to eat food earlier today
But the lump in my throat got in the way
I couldn't eat because of the sadness I'm feeling
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I'm feeling so low that I don't have any self-respect left
I've called a hundred times
I've called you many times hoping to hear your voice
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
Hearing your voice would make me feel better
And I, I can't come alive
I'm feeling dead inside and can't find a way to feel alive

I want to disappear and be consumed by the space around me

These four walls and me
I feel trapped within the four walls of my room with only my thoughts for company
I lay in bed
I'm lying in bed unable to sleep
Can't seem to leave your side
I can't seem to let go of the memories of you
Your pillow's wet
I've been crying and your pillow is wet from my tears
From all these tears I've cried
I've cried so much because of the pain I'm feeling
I won't say goodbye
I'm not ready to say goodbye to our relationship
I tried to smile today
I tried to put on a brave face today
Then I realized there's no point anyway
I came to the conclusion that there's no point in pretending to be okay
I've called a thousand times
I've called you so many times hoping to hear your voice
Oh oh oh

jesy's parts are barely louder than a whisper, but the heartbreak in her voice is overwhelmingly resounding. like she's one breath away from falling apart. they all sound beautiful, but jesy got to me the most.
@oliviabowen9685

@Chicken_Nugget1
After watching the documentary "Odd one out" I feel it's because at the time this song is how she really did feel inside during that part.
