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.
They Just Don't Know You
Little Mix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mama says be careful 'cause he'll break your heart in three
They don't walk in my shoes
They ain't being kissed by you
My sister says she doesn't like the way you wear your hair
But I know that she's jealous so why would I even care?
I have to lie about
So oh oh
Tell me, tell me you won't break my heart
You won't tear my world apart
That you'll be there when I need
'Cause I wanna tell them
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They don't know you like I do
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you, like I do
Talk is cheap and rumors spread but they go with the wind
It's not about she said he's sick 'cause I know where it ends
I know the real truth
And the real truth is you
It's funny 'cause at times it feels like us against the world
They treat you like a criminal but I'll still be your girl
I'd ride or die with you
Walk the line if you asked me to
So oh oh
Tell me, tell me you won't break my heart
You won't tear my world apart
That you'll be there when I need
'Cause I wanna tell them
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They don't know you like I do
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you, like I do
But when will I try to
They just don't know you
You don't know about our love
You choose what you see
'Cause if you felt the way we love
You'd just let it be
You don't know about the times
When it's just him and me
'Cause if you felt the way we love
You'd just let it be
Tell me, tell me you won't break my heart
You won't tear my world apart
That you'll be there when I need (when I need)
'Cause I wanna tell them
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They just don't know you
They don't know you like I do
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you (They don't know)
They just don't know you, like I do
