All of the JADE tea, with a drop of Little Mix and a spoonful of Perrie and Leigh-Anne. ☕️ (Taking anonymous tips via DM. Tips aren’t guaranteed to be posted.)
JADE on her relationship with the LGBTQ+ community:
“I was aware that [Little Mix] had a big LGBT fanbase. It felt necessary to support that community rather than just benefitting. I’ve got a lot to thank them for, so the music that I create is almost like a thank you to them.”
Perrie reveals that Jade texted her “Good luck babe 🧚” and Leigh-Anne messaged her to say “You’re going to smash it” before her first solo set at Capital’s Summertime Ball
Fifth Harmony’s Dinah Jane comments on JADE’s post about the Angel Of My Dreams music video, which depicts her experience in the music industry:
“okayyy but the music video meaaaning >>>>>>>>>> cried.. felt like I could relate”
The producer of Little Mix's final single as a foursome, No Time For Tears, spills the tea on the creation of the song:
"Fun fact: All of Jesy's backing vocals (and even one of the leads) are somebody else impersonating her because she was quite literally over it 😅😅😅"
Perrie reveals the song she’s written about Jade and Leigh-Anne is titled “Goodbye My Friend”:
“It is kind of like a little love song to them. I’m waiting for the right moment because I know what they’re like, they’re going to cry, so I want to see them in person [to play it]."
JADE talks about her love of Britney Spears:
“Britney is one of THE best pop artists of all time. We [Little Mix] did write a song for Britney actually [Pretty Girls]. It’s kind of iconic because people hate it so much.”
JADE on the 2 years she took before releasing solo music:
“I’m glad I took this time. When I listen back to songs I wrote off the back of the group, I’m like ‘That could be a Little Mix song’. I needed time to evolve, learn how to write music for myself and create my own sound.”
Jade Thirlwall’s boyfriend has dressed as Jade from the Sweet Melody video for her birthday party. 🔥
The party theme is “The JMAs” (Jade Music Awards), where guests had to come dressed in iconic music video and red carpet looks.
Jade cheekily clapped back at Noel Gallagher for suggesting that Little Mix aren’t songwriters: “We are so so unbelievably grateful for everybody here tonight. There’s no amount of words, no amount of lyrics – cause we do write songs as well… 😌💅”

JADE on a Little Mix reunion:
“Everyone knows how much I am obsessed with Little Mix. The reunion will absolutely happen.
I think sometimes when you say ‘hiatus’, people are like ‘Sure! It’s over.’ We’re like, ‘No, we genuinely mean we’ll come back!’ I promise! I promise!!”
In the song Between Us, Perrie sings the opening lines of the first chorus, Jade sings the opening lines of the second chorus, and Leigh-Anne sings them in the final chorus – meaning that all three Little Mix members make their vow that nothing will ever come between them
Leigh-Anne speaking to Perrie on the phone on Radio 1:
Perrie: “Weymouth is lit but I’ll tell you what’s even better: Leigh’s new song!”
Leigh: “Aw Pez! I love you man.”
Perrie: “I’m obsessed! Literally obsessed. Can’t get over it. It’s in my head 24/7.”
Perrie on watching Leigh-Anne launch her solo career: “Seeing Leigh go out and do it was wild. I’m watching her interviews, watching her perform, and I’m like, ‘How is she doing this?’ I’m so proud of her. Then I kept thinking, ‘Oh gosh, I’ve got to do that next. Can I do that?’”
Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall started to cry while addressing the group’s LGBTQ+ fans on the
#ConfettiTour
, saying: “I hope over the years, we’ve given you a safe space”.
JADE and Perrie will be performing one single and one cover for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge next month. 🎤🎶
Tune in for Perrie on Friday 18th October and JADE on Friday 25th October.
Perrie reveals that Sony originally scheduled her second single and JADE’s first single to be released on the same day:
“I didn’t want it to look like I was maliciously releasing a song on her debut. It’s important to me that we don’t have that kind of overlap.”
JADE responds to an interviewer referencing her former bandmate’s infamous “Balegdah” meme:
“Oh my god! Rebuke!! No comment! I’m not commenting on that, you’re gonna get me in trouble.”
JADE &
@MikeAdamOnAir
discuss how Little Mix’s Touch deserved more success in the US:
“Definitely. We saw that reaction. We toured with Ariana Grande and every time we performed Touch, it went off. I remember Charli XCX was like, ‘That’s one of the best pop songs ever’ and I was
Little Mix’s appearance at the premiere of Leigh-Anne’s movie Boxing Day is their first in-person appearance together since Perrie and Leigh-Anne went on maternity leave
Jade just revealed that F.U. was supposed to be a single and Little Mix shot a music video for it where they were wrecking their boyfriends’ stuff in slow-motion. She added that she’s been trying to find some clips to share online, so keep your eyes peeled!
“We’ve made so many incredible memories with you all, and we can’t wait to make so many more. We’ll always have each other and you, the fans, in our lives. Little Mix is forever. ♥️”
A rep for Simon Cowell responds to JADE’s new single, which references Cowell’s former label, SyCo:
“The entire team who worked incredibly hard behind the scenes with Little Mix to help make the group a success would, I’m sure, always continue to wish them solo success.”
“We love each other so much. We are sisters. We are family. We are stronger than ever. We’re happier than ever... And we’re already counting down the reunion, so don’t worry about it!”
According to The Sun, Jesy Nelson will tell her side of the story in a documentary. “Jesy has had a really rough ride since leaving Little Mix. “So much has been said about her and she wants to go on the record and speak directly to her fans about everything that has happened.
Before the
#ConfettTour
’s dance section, Little Mix dedicated their performance of Only You to their dancers, which caused Claudimar to cry.
Claud has been dancing with Little Mix for 9 years, and calls them his “family”.
JADE names ‘Rain On Me’ by Lady Gaga (ft. Ariana Grande) as the song that’s “always on her party playlist”:
“The Chromatica album was like a saviour for me. It was pop perfection.”
JADE tears up at her private fan event:
“This means so so much. I waited such a long time for this moment. I’m just so so grateful. I poured my heart and soul into this music. I had to take this time to evolve on my own and learn how to survive without my girls. I’m very
JADE on her years of political activism around social issues and Palestine:
“I did think, ‘Oh, I haven't even started my solo career – should I be so outspoken?’ But, I can sleep better at night knowing that I have.”
Little Mix discussed their future reunion in a new interview, with Perrie saying: “We haven’t parted ways yet and we’re already talking about coming back! We’re like: ‘Is 2 years enough?'"
Jade added: “We don’t know how long this’ll be for but I’m already ready for the reunion!”
All three of the Little Mix girls cried during Between Us last night and were unable to finish singing. “Please, do me a favour and sing it will ya?” Jade asked the crowd.
Jade reportedly told a fan that one of her tracks sounds like “Wasabi’s slutty older sister” with influences from Charli XCX and Lady Gaga’s Chromatica
