Little Mix are a band from the UK. They won the current series of XFactor.
Their debut single is a cover but it's pretty catchy.
What do you think??

Good song , but nothing special , wrong choice for first single in my opinion , I miss the time that factor x winners released amazing not cover songs like ''Bleeding love''...
Too many covers yes.
They only had one original winner song: "That's my goal"
The songwriters give probably their best to have their songs chosen as a winning song but eventually the producers of the show chose a cover as it's playing safe. Jörgen said this once in an interview.
QuoteBut take a song like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah – that could never have been written by a computer program.
True. But if I had written that song today and brought it to Simon Cowell, he would have said: "What's this crap?" and thrown it in the bin. He chose that song for the X Factor finalists because it's famous and has already created emotional ties with the public. That's the only reason he's willing to use it.
Simon was looking for a new Nessun Dorma for ages. We wrote songs until we were blue in the face – fantastic songs – for the Il Divo record. But he just couldn't hear it. I said: "If I brought in Nessun Dorma today, as a new song, would you be able to hear that it's a great song?"
"Good question," he said. "I'm not sure I would."

Yeah , it's true , but in the covers the original are better always.
Thnx for sharing. I really like this song ;) Personally, I prefer Little Mix and Marcus version to the original one.
I hardly like any songs this year (even Max's songs) except for With ur love,Take a chance on me and this song.
Old thread, but they are still around.
The new single "Black Magic" will be a UK #1 and probably also a hit in the US.
They also wrote Britney's song with Iggy (which kinda flopped though)
Black Magic is really catchy. Give it a spin :)

I like it, but the video is really WEIRD.

An 80s song with a high school movie video, nothing wierd with that.
Black Magic is the most interesting song of the summer. :)
big Whitney "Dance With Somebody" vibes. great song with a big memorable chorus and chant.

I hear a lot of st. elmos fire in it..
Little Mix are really great, so many of their previous hits sound just like what I want music to sound like right now. Great songwriting, AMAZING production and voices that fit like a glove. Can't really believe I just said that bout a girl band..
More music like this please
Love Me Like You - nice old school pop.
