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.

Be honest
How are you feeling, girlfriend?
Have you been crying again?
Just give it some time, breath out
See I'm happy
That boy was just playing pretend
But finally, you found out
That he's
Never gonna love you like we do, ohh
But please
He's never gonna find no one like you, no
Girl, just come 'round mine tonight
I've got wine and make-up wipes
I'll hold you
I'll hold you
We can put the kettle on
Talk 'bout how he's not the one
I told you
But I'm never gonna say I told you so
To be honest
His best friend was hotter than him (yeah)
His jokes were just lacking content (yeah)
But darling, you're better than
Someone who lies and cheats to set the scene
It's every week and every single club we've been in (ohh)
He's with another girl again
Now you know that he's
Never gonna love you like we do, yeah
Oh na-na-na-na-na-na, oh na-na-na-na-na-na
Please
He's never gonna find no one like you
oh, no, no, oh

The lyrics to Little Mix's song "Told You So" tell the story of a supportive friend comforting another friend who has just gone through a breakup. The friend acknowledges that she had warned the other girl about the guy's true nature, but instead of saying, "I told you so," she offers her love, support, and a safe space to vent and heal.
The opening lines set the tone of honesty and empathy as the friend asks how the other girl is feeling and acknowledges that she might have been crying. She reassures her that it will take time but eventually she will realize that the guy was just pretending to love her. The friend emphasizes that the guy will never love the girl like they do, but also reminds her that he will never find someone like her.
Later in the song, the friend further exposes the flaws of the guy, mentioning that his best friend is even hotter than him and his jokes are lacking substance. She highlights that the guy lies and cheats regularly, causing pain and disappointment every week, even in the clubs they've been to together.
Throughout the song, the friend is there to provide comfort and support, inviting the girl over to her place with wine and make-up wipes. She assures her that she will hold her, listen to her, and they can talk about how the guy was never the right one for her. The friend concludes by expressing that she will never say, "I told you so," but she's glad that the girl now knows the truth.
Overall, "Told You So" showcases the power of friendship, understanding, and compassion during heartbreak, while also emphasizing the importance of self-worth and not settling for someone who doesn't truly appreciate and love you.

This and “The Cure” should have been singles!!!!!!!! They could have made a video with this song and made a video for “The Cure” as a sequel.
If I had to choose single choices for this album, it would have been:
1- Woman Like Me (feat. Nicki Minaj)
2- Told You So
3- The Cure
4- Joan of Arc
And in that order... because it would have told a story with the lyrics.

And this is why Little Mix will forever be the only girl group I'll stan. Their friendship is showcased in their behind the scenes, performances and their songs! This is such a comforting friendship song and y'all slayed again ✊😤😭💜
Create with GELI
@Farah Work OH WOW!! I love TLC and Spice Girls casually but I'll be sure to check your other recommendations! 😍 Thank you for the suggestions 💖
Farah Work
@Create with GELI ah Its ok! ❤️I love Little mix too but your missing out on alot of talented girl acts. Delve into Tlc and Spice girls for funny moments and bops destiny child, xscape, Swv and envogue for harmonies and vocals. You wont be disappointed. These ladies inspired little mix aswell. Also theres an upcoming british girl act called FLO and they are super super good!!! I just find it unfair when people act like only one woman or girl group can be loved when we should support many talented ladies!
Create with GELI
@Farah Work oh God this was 3 years ago haha, it's supposed to be a hyperbole-type of phrasing, though Little Mix seemed to still be the only Western girl group I still stan up to today. Of course, will still be open to stanning any new talented ggs that may come in the future! :>
Farah Work
why do you only have to stan one tho?
