Little Mix Talk "Mature" New Music and Empowering Women
Pop's biggest band are on the latest cover of tmrw magazine...
Little Mix are grown and they'll do whatever they want to.
The biggest girl band in the world are on the cover of tmrw magazine's new issue and reflect on their musical growth, love, sex and being role models for women of all ages in the typically candid interview.
As they prepare to re-release their latest album Glory Days, the band reveal they won't shy away from singing about sex as it's part of their lives, although it won't ever dominate their albums.
I know it's crazy, but I feel like you could be
The one that I've been chasing in my dreams
Boy, I can see you're looking at me like you want it
Oh, usually I'm like, whatever, but tonight
The way you moving got me, where am I?
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like bailemos, hey
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo
Yo sólo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité, bailemos, hey
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Excuse me baby boy, just had to dance with you now
See there's nobody in here that comes close to you, no
Your hands are on my waist, my lips you wanna taste
Come muévete, muévete, muévete
Our bodies on fire, with full of desire
If you feel what I feel, throw your hands up higher
And to all the ladies around the world
Go ahead and muévete, muévete, muévete
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like bailemos (hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo
Yo sólo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité bailemos (hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Do you know I like you when I take you to the floor? (the floor)
I know you like this reggaetón lento (lento)
This ain't stopping, baby, 'til I say so
Come get, come get some more
Oh, boy, I wish that this could last forever
'Cause every second by your side is heaven
Oh, come give me that, give me that boom, boom, boom, oh
I tell you, baby, you, baby, you get me hotter
Loving made me sick, made me sick, you're my doctor
Don't you know you're playing with fire tonight?
Can we get it right here one more time?
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like bailemos (hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento

Yo sólo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité, bailemos (hey)

Drop it low, drop it low
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let's go
“We love a bit of romance! We’re never like ‘yeah, give it to me!’ We’d never do an album just about sex, or an album just about dancing with a guy in a club," Perrie reveals. "We’d never ever do that, we just touch on subjects - pardon the pun.”
“Every album we’ve had, we’ve kind of grown up with the music and that reflects as the lyrics get a bit more mature, and we write more about relationships and stuff as the albums go on.”
Considering the success of the double platinum Glory Days, we don't think they need to worry about being more open. Everyone is loving it!
“It's the most mature album we’ve done, and it’s the most us as who we are now." Yes, girls!
After winning The X Factor six years ago, Little Mix have been viewed as role models since the start of their careers and they embrace their position to give women a more realistic and diverse view of beauty, encouraging self-confidence and aiming to empower women of all ages.
“I think that's why we're so passionate about making others speak out about their own insecurities because we have loads," they say. "We have each other, so it makes it easier for us cus we always send love to each other and we cry on each other's shoulders."
"But we want to kind of be a shoulder to cry on for other women out there, if that makes sense. That’s why we do what we do.”
And that right there is exactly why we love Little Mix!
The band are currently busy touring arenas around the UK on their sold-out Glory Days Tour, while Glory Days: The Platinum Edition will be released on November 24th.
The Platinum Edition features three brand new songs (!) along with their current single, the brilliant CNCO-assisted 'Reggaetón Lento', and includes a full-length behind-the-scenes documentary (!!).
Will we get a new single before the re-release drops? We'll have to wait and see if they surprise us, but in the meantime you can get your copy of their gorgeous tmrw magazine shoot now to read the rest of the interview!

Feeling feelings I've never felt
The way you got me under your spell
Don't you keep it all to yourself
So won't you take it?
I feel like for the first time I am not faking
Fingers on my buttons and now you're playing
Master of anticipation, don't you keep it all to yourself
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet, all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Photograph with no T-shirt on
Why you making me wait so long?
(Wait so long)
I promise to keep this a secret, I'll never tell
But don't you keep it all to yourself
So won't you take it?
I feel like for the first time I am not faking
Fingers on my buttons and now you're playing
Master of anticipation, don't you keep it all to yourself
(To yourself)
