Leigh-Anne has said the concept is her feeling overlooked and sad in the early years of Little Mix and becoming more confident in herself, then jumping into the water at the end as a cleansing and fresh start
Yet she says "I don't wanna be with someone else" and "give me something I can hold on to boy" the idea may have been born from her feelings but the lyrics are definitely about a man
I think it was a good choice because it’s very UK/europe based so it will strengthen her fan base and general public interest so then she can expand to the US and other parts of the world. Her album mixes a few genres with pop so that’s gonna be interesting, and apparently will tell a continuos story
I genuinely love this song so much. It’s unbelievably catchy and I can’t stop singing it. The music video is so powerful and aesthetically pleasing. I’m so happy for her🥺
Leigh is amazing! She is gonna be the next pop star! She released her debut single all by herself without any collabs!! Such an independent women! I love her
It’s kinda garage influenced which means it is mixed with r&b, bass and pop. She stated it has a deeper meaning and it is to be loved wholeheartedly just like how she loves herself. I love it sm 💕💅🏽
I honestly think it’s perfect for her debut single. She said in an interview that the album is a mix of Garage, R&B and Afro beats. Can’t wait to hear what she’s got in store!
Truly, you can see the love she is putting into her debut and her solo career, this video has it all; sets, looks, stylist, choreography, interpretation of her emotions about being underestimated for so long, and not to mention the song with her wonderful vocals!!❤️🔥✨️🥀 Our Queen deserves all the love in the world for putting in the effort to give us something of this quality, we are so proud her, yasss Leigh!!
The meaning Leigh shared is that it is represnting her journey from feeling undervalued in Little Mix, and working to escape those feelings and step into her own power. The dive into water cleanses her of that, and the next video she's going to he emerging from the water reborn.
Everybody keeps trying to put her in a box only expecting r&b when she's capable of multiple genres which is great for the cross over deal and it allows her to show off her versatility. Not my fav genre but she made it more flavorful adding more vocal style to it. I feel she has the most potential for worldwide domination. She's just getting started and we are gonna hear r&b on the album as she has said.
If I remember correctly it’s because she was one of the girls in particular that expressed she wanted to explore that lane in LM’s music more, that was a big part of why they treasured LM5 so much. Her voice is also beautiful and highlighted the best when focussing on her softer tone and runs imo, her recent covers on her YT channel show this p well! Her belts have absolutely improved but are used best sparingly imo because her tone can become quite shrill up in those higher registers, they’re nice to tack onto a bridge and I think that’s why they had her on a lot of LM choruses too.
Synopsis- In the video we can see Leigh move from a point of confusion, frustration, anger & being silenced to this confident new person. At the beginning she has a heart over her mouth meaning ‘don’t say love’, we can also see where she’s ripping some fabric from her look which means to remove the negativity and adversities she faced during LM. She then heads to the rooftop still feeling all the negative emotions after which she dives into the water to signal a cleanse or this rebirth. To be continued means that she’s taking us on a journey into the next singles and into her development as this confident and fierce individual❤.
What she said about it, is that it’s about her emotions from being not seeing and that she’s getting rid of the past of being invisible and in the end when she jumps in the water, it’s her being cleansed, her second single is sampled at the end and it’s to be continued and that she will be reborn, kinda like closing her past emotions of being invisible but now being seen
Was waiting for your reaction, think Leigh-Anne smashed it! Just the right amount of feeling like something new whilst maintaining a touch of Little Mix
I wouldn't go that far, don't misunderstand me, I do like the song and is a bop, but i personally think it didn't catch me that much, maybe if I listen to it more times It can grow on me. I'm so excited for her album, and I want to see her doing a ballad, some songs that show us her amazing vocal range or some song that is lyrically beautiful like this one
I feel that this is garage infused rnb, makes me think of Victoria Beckham and Dane Bowers Out of your mind. Been eagerly awaiting Leigh Anne’s solo journey, she sounds and looks amazing. Probably not going to please every ear, but I reckon she’s passed that and is into a different era now. Like your reaction Honest as always ❤
Another fantastic reaction Georgina👌🏻👌🏻didn’t expect drum & bass but love that she ‘surprised’ us & love D&B- extremely catchy - I think the meaning behind the song has got something to do with her feeling the one in the shadows of the other girls in the band at the beginning of their career - but as she says “boy” at one point I think you’re right it can also be a cry from a gf to her bf not to say he loves her unless he means it 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks Georgina 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I had the same feeling about the song initially but I’m at work now and I CANNOT get the chorus out my head. I’m also assuming pop was chosen intentionally as the first single and as she establishes herself as a soloist we’ll see some more r &b influences
I liked the song! i do agree that it wasn’t exceptionally fabulous per se, but that’s not necessarily bad as it might just be an ‘introduction’ to what more there is to come. I’m so excited and I wish her all the success she so very deserves 💚.
When I heard it , I didn’t even know it was her , didn’t sound like her .. but I loved it .. and then I found out it was her and my feeling is she will do the best solo wise
I would say the song’s genre is actually more UK Garage instead of Drum & Bass - but like a fresh take on UK Garage music, similar to something AJ Tracey would do. I like how her voice sounds on this, how she builds the song gradually…
At the beginning it shows her being overlooked in the past and She said that the Water sequence Shows a Kind of Rebirth and Cleansing (beginning of her own new Chapter).
Reminds me of love sweet love which was a weaker LM single that wasn’t memorable, but it’s really nice. Looking forward to single 2 and fingers crossed it’s a little catchier for the GA. I’m rooting for Leigh
I think Leigh is giving us a summer bob, something we can dance to and hook us in... Then she will slow the tempo because we know she is and r&b and ballad diva🎉
Ohhhh! This is the first time I am the first ever comment! I really like the song and her voice, but yes the video isn't very coherent!! However, the song is about feeling overlooked and wanting love...so it's possible that the video is doing all these things that she didn't really want to, but was forced to and then in the end, she's shedding it all, to become the LA we all know now-the something that's real. I think it was smart to add thz garage elements (her style) to pop (LM), so that there's some familiarity to the fans. I think the next single will be more R&B/reggaeton vibes introducing more of her personal style. This song is her saying goodbye to the overlooked girl in LM and the garage is a hello to the types of music she likes and wants to do more of. I do like the combo of garage pop-it's been a while since I heard garage music
I was expecting (and wanting) a more R&B sound but the bridge makes this stand out compared to other songs in this genre. I think it's a great start and she looks amazing but I want the next single to have more energy.
A lot of first singles have a pretty simple melody/chord progression so that DJs will want to remix it. The more complex the song, the harder it is to remix. The simpler the song, the more liberties can be taken and more experimentation is possible. Also, a simpler song lends itself to more artists for a possible feature on a remix by another artist. I think a lot of newer artists don't follow this format anymore, but it does make sense to go with it.
Leigh-Anne is not my favourite one, but I have to agree with THE WHOLE WORLD that she has done her best. This song is a very good one, perfect for her, it has a choreography that we have never seen on her nor on Little Mix… The outfits, the scenaries… everything is perfect for her. So proud of my girl ❤️❤️
Also with the storyline, she starts in the concrete jungle, then the people all boxing her in and she’s breaking out, to the discovering a new side of herself with the contemporary tutting dance in verse 2, then by the bridge she reaches the top of the concrete jungle and uses the platform to dive into her freedom (the ocean)❤
I heard her interview on capital today she said the video was about her experience in the music industry she felt invisible then eventually felt reborn she said that’s what she based the video on
I think the song is quite good but the beat is weak, i feel Rihanna's 'this is what you came for' vibes but without a strong solo career before, as a mixer my expectations are really high! This is not disappointed but we want more! Thank you for your reactions, kisses from Italy
Of course! She has a few acoustic covers out and sounds amazing. Leigh Anne never had a problem singing in general, her voice is just softer and more melodic compared to Jade and Perrie. It was more of a confidence and nerves thing but that was YEARS ago.
I think she will! In her interviews she said her music is more in a range, suits her voice better than some LM songs so I’m expecting her to be able to perform this well
I think the start shes stood in the mask, that symbolises being silence or having no voice? The song has been in my head all day. Not overly keen on the video, too much going on it's like 3 videos in one.
Nice song. She looks great. One question does all pop music use auto tune? Her voice sounds mechanical in a sense? I usually listen to indie music so the voices tend to sound more reverbed and more raw.
Personally I was hoping for something more R&B. I think her fan base is young still so maybe not into R&B so much. Her follow up single needs to target a more mature audience and then maybe the album. They all said they would not release music at the same time but I wish they would hurry it along as I am not getting any younger.

@@simplypaul8681 she said in a interview exactly what the commenter said.
I think this is perfect for Leigh’s debut single. A catchy song , high budget video , no feature . So proud of her 😭
This is not a high budget video, Taylor Swift is a high budget video.
You realize there are different levels of high right?
I think it was a good choice because it’s very UK/europe based so it will strengthen her fan base and general public interest so then she can expand to the US and other parts of the world.

Her voice is so angelic, Leigh Anne will be successful as a solo artist and she deserve the whole world ❤️

Agreed. This is what she means by being overlooked. She has a variety of tastes and here we get that with the garage flavor

@@sp0ngeb00b7 and she will explore that along with all the sounds that she likes like garage, reggaeton, Afrobeats etc.
leigh-Anne is one to watch, I'm glad she released music first out of the three girls
Love this track and I think she’s made good choices. He voice sounds epic ❤
She’s saying she’s shocked so many mixers are supporting her. Breaks my heart, I was spending my only 20 quid a week to vote for her on xfactor 😂

Catchy chorus. Love her chest-weight vocals on the verses. Leigh’s vocals has always been my favourite in the band from day one ❤
same! she's always had my favourite tone
So happy to hear her voice and her sound! Can’t wait for the other member’s projects!
Thankyouuu for always supporting little mix since then😊 especially now our girls are on their solo careers now!! Loveyou
It's a good song, it will probably be a good summer hit, she made a good choice.
I wouldn't go that far, don't misunderstand me, I do like the song and is a bop, but i personally think it didn't catch me that much, maybe if I listen to it more times It can grow on me.
I'm so excited for her album, and I want to see her doing a ballad, some songs that show us her amazing vocal range or some song that is lyrically beautiful like this one
because it's catchy that's why it'll stick in our heads and we'll be listening to this more and more

Her voice has definitely improved i think she went more pop to be commercial to reach out to more ppl
The way i came directly here looking for your reaction after watching the MV 😂 love your reactionsss ❤🎉
Love what a Mixer you are Georgina!
im so impressed by Leigh Anne
I liked the song! i do agree that it wasn’t exceptionally fabulous per se, but that’s not necessarily bad as it might just be an ‘introduction’ to what more there is to come. I’m so excited and I wish her all the success she so very deserves 💚.
LEIGH ANNE TALENT IS A STORY LINE.
Thank you for reacting to our girl Leigh’s single!!
When I heard it , I didn’t even know it was her , didn’t sound like her .. but I loved it .. and then I found out it was her and my feeling is she will do the best solo wise
Her vocals are amazing as always!!!
Thank you for reacting to her debut single we love u Georgina!
Hi, she just performed say a little prayer n don’t say love live with capital. Soooo good !
It’s 2Step/Garage. A throw back to early 2000s Mis-teeq etc
I would say the song’s genre is actually more UK Garage instead of Drum & Bass - but like a fresh take on UK Garage music, similar to something AJ Tracey would do. I like how her voice sounds on this, how she builds the song gradually…

This song is perfect for Eurovision she needs to do Eurovision for the uk next year
Love your explanations 🎉 ty to give leigh the support she deserves ❤️
the reggae infused beat at the end is snippet of second single!
A great Dance-Pop Debut😛
I LOVE THIS SONG MUCH ❤ I Love All 4 Girls And I Hope One Day They Get Back Together
I've been waiting for thisss!!
Loved this, had it all on repeat this morning, I think this is just a teaser I think the second single will be amazing
i love it so much, she is just amazing ❤️
Aw I just know Leigh would love watching this review!!
I loved it! but i think it sounds like any song from the last two little mix albums. There is no risk to be a first single.
I love this song so catchy 🤍🤍🤍
I'm so proud of Leigh-Anne!! She is going to proof the haters how wrong they've always been about her!
I think Leigh is giving us a summer bob, something we can dance to and hook us in... Then she will slow the tempo because we know she is and r&b and ballad diva🎉
Was waiting for your take!
She is better than that. She did not expose her vocal abilities

I was expecting (and wanting) a more R&B sound but the bridge makes this stand out compared to other songs in this genre. I think it's a great start and she looks amazing but I want the next single to have more energy.
Need to react to her latest mv - my love
I love the way you support the ladies of Little Mix...
A lot of first singles have a pretty simple melody/chord progression so that DJs will want to remix it. The more complex the song, the harder it is to remix.

she’s just starting y’all!!
love it loving the vibe and very catchy :)
I heard her interview on capital today she said the video was about her experience in the music industry she felt invisible then eventually felt reborn she said that’s what she based the video on
Reaction i’ve been waiting for 🎉
Me: slightly disappointed with the song and video
Also me: walking around the house unconsciously humming the chorus
same!
i loveee your comments ❤❤ thanks
Catchy song but it will be interesting to hear her sing it live.
Reminds me something that Daniel Merriweather released decades ago.
It's UK Garage, not Drum and Bass
What will be interesting is her singing it live!
Garage! Not drum and bass, they’re very distinct :)
It’s a ‘nice’ song. It just seems to be OK, nothing great, nothing bad.
I think the song is quite good but the beat is weak, i feel Rihanna's 'this is what you came for' vibes but without a strong solo career before, as a mixer my expectations are really high! This is not disappointed but we want more! Thank you for your reactions, kisses from Italy
LeighAnne killed it!
I missed your video reactions 😊
I’m so in love with song ❤
Do you think she will be able to sing it live without too much backing track?
Of course! She has a few acoustic covers out and sounds amazing. Leigh Anne never had a problem singing in general, her voice is just softer and more melodic compared to Jade and Perrie. It was more of a confidence and nerves thing but that was YEARS ago.
I think she will! In her interviews she said her music is more in a range, suits her voice better than some LM songs so I’m expecting her to be able to perform this well

The song has been in my head all day. Not overly keen on the video, too much going on it's like 3 videos in one.
FIRST. THIS IS A BOP.
Nice song. She looks great. One question does all pop music use auto tune? Her voice sounds mechanical in a sense? I usually listen to indie music so the voices tend to sound more reverbed and more raw.
She has that quality to her voice, it’s a little metallic or robotic at some points, it’s part of her vocals
Yes Love it 💯
I love the Britney Cheer I JUST NEED SOMEthing that! I love it.
I think is a very cool song and little safe for leigh-anne but she is genious and talanted
A BOP
Queennnn
Poor jesy I bet wishes she came out this strong ...I hate to say it but I think jesy will get lost when the other two come out as well x
I think it's supposed to be a non-narrative video 😊
Personally I was hoping for something more R&B. I think her fan base is young still so maybe not into R&B so much. Her follow up single needs to target a more mature audience and then maybe the album. They all said they would not release music at the same time but I wish they would hurry it along as I am not getting any younger.
It’s not drum & bass it’s garage 👍
i would say the white background is coming to change and go into growth
She just hasn't her time to shine, I'm glad leigh has praise normally every video is about jade
I'd like to hear mutya/sugababes do this
Leigh Anneeee
