Little Mix also released the accompanying video to Holiday on Friday 24th July. Posting to their official YouTube channel, Little Mix gifted a mermaid-themed lyric video to their 13.7m YouTube subscribers. With a whopping 654,000 views and 9,000 comments already, the lyric video is already widely popular within Little Mix’s extensive fanbase. 

An up-tempo, energetic track, the sunny, poppy Holiday has all the qualities to be another chart favourite by Little Mix. The first two verses of Holiday are led by Jesy and Leigh-Anne singing solos, demonstrating brilliantly their individual vocal prowesses. Jesy and Leigh-Anne sing sultry lyrics like “When it’s cold, you pull me closer/So hot, it’s like the middle of July” and “I’ve been looking for the feeling, looking all my life” making the track both romantic and empowering. 

Jade and Perrie lead the catchy chorus with “We’re just dancing the night away/Boy, you feel like a holiday”, the playful comparisons between boys and vacations in Holiday make the single sizzle with Girl Power. Famed for their strong vocals, Holiday blends the four singers’ powerful yet distinctly different voices together with ease. 

In wake of their latest release, the Shoutout To My Ex singers also posted a sweet compilation video of fans’ reactions to Holiday on their Instagram account yesterday. Gaining over 119,000 views, the video featured hilarious fan receptions to the new single, the funny clip being met with a delighted reaction from fans. Jesy Nelson posted a glamourous photo on her personal Instagram account to promote the single, captioning the post “Happy Holiday release day!”, which has already gathered over 200,000 likes.

Girl group Little Mix consists of members Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirwall and Jesy Nelson. Formed in 2011, Little Mix came together through the X Factor after auditioning as solo singers. Not only are they the first group to win X-Factor, Little Mix are also the show’s most globally successful artists.

Since their X Factor victory nearly ten years ago, Little Mix have released five hugely successful albums. Following their debut album DNA (2012) came Salute (2013), Get Weird (2015) Glory Days (2017), and LM5 (2018), all peaking within the Top 10 charts of ten countries, including the UK and the USA. Rumoured to be titled LM6, Little Mix’s sixth studio album will arrive in 2021, coinciding with the group’s 10 year anniversary. Speaking with The Sun recently, Jesy Nelson relayed that “It doesn’t feel like ten years. Well, it does and it doesn’t. It’s crazy.” When asked about celebrating the band’s important milestone, Nelson added that “Whether it be A Night With Little Mix where we do a big show or a special ten-year tour…we’d definitely like to do something!” 

Holiday is out now.

The come-back is important for the band since they left Simon Cowell’s Syco label back in 2018 – this song is set to be the first of a new era for Little Mix after their last single releases ‘Bounce Back’ and ‘One I’ve Been Missing’. The group teased their next album on social media with the caption “New Era. Loading.”

In an interview with Official Charts, Jesy Nelson spoke about ‘Break Up Song’, saying “It’s one of those songs that just makes you feel really good. Obviously, I didn’t live through the ‘80s but when I listen to it I feel like it takes me back somewhere.” The singer went on to discuss the album, revealing that it’s almost finished, although the rest of the recording and release has been pushed back due to the coronavirus outbreak. The album will include more songs like ‘Break Up Song’, with themes such as relationships, feminism, and more.

Jade Thirlwall was a guest on Kiss FM a few days before the single was released, and teased fans with a line from the chorus, before wondering if she was allowed to spoil it. If anything, this just sparked more excitement from fans, who are loving the song. With almost 3 million streams on Spotify, Little Mix has made an incredible come-back.

The song also received a lyric video, created entirely by a Little Mix fan. The video fits perfectly into the ’80s theme and has close to 2 million views, with Perri Edwards thanking the creator, Kayleigh, on Instagram.

On top of all this, Little Mix are currently in the process of filming their new talent show, The Search, but have postponed the live shows until the coronavirus is no longer a threat. However, two members, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock took to Instagram Live on Friday to answer fans’ questions and discuss the song.

Little Mix formed in 2011 when the four members all auditioned for The X Factor as soloists and were asked to return as a group. They went on to win and sign to Simon Cowell’s label Syco, releasing five albums. The band have won two Brit Awards and done a lot of work to combat cyber-bullying, support women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, along with supporting many charities and organisations.
