Ladies, always so good to see you, so much coming up new single and album
coming out. We've already had 'Black Magic', doing amazingly well! I am so looking forward
to seeing what the video for 'Love Me Like You' is like, because it's so retro and so awesome,
what was your reaction when you heard the finished thing for the first time because everyone who has
heard it so far has thought 'this is awesome'.
(Altogether) "Awwww!"
(PERRIE) "Well, we love it! (JADE) "We think it's got that killer chorus that you can't help
sing along to and it's very nostalgic. I think it's got a bit of an older audience, our mams love it!"
(LEIGH-ANNE) "That's why I like it, because it's quite sassy
and a little bit sexy. Cheeky!" (PERRIE) "Cheeky and catchy and hooky!"
I was thinking that maybe for your next thing
you were gonna do continuation from high school...."
(PERRIE) Yeah, it's kinda like a little follow up from 'Black Magic' it's kind of the same vibe, like prom and stuff like that
but we got some of the cast members from the first video which
was really fun - we got on really well with them. But we're just really excited for everyone to see it;
we absolutely love this video like we've had it for a while now to shot it back to back in LA when we
did 'Black Magic' which came one after the other
which was intense, but it was worth it but we've had it was so long, we want everyone to see it now"
(LEIGH-ANNE) "And it's quite comical and we love acting so we decided we wanted to act like 'Black Magic'
and we loved it so much we thought, let's do it in the second one as well. It's a little thing we like to do."
I do like that you don't take yourself too seriously, you can pull your funny faces and all that
How did you decide that was gonna be a next single from the album?
(JADE) "Well, actually it wasn't decided straight away, it wasn't until it was recorded and stuff that
we thought "actually this is a big contender to be single". But on the album
we didn't want any fillers, every song could be a single, so it's always tough picking them, but
I think 'Love Me Like You' is just foolproof"
(LEIGH-ANNE) "Yeah, we definitely made the right decision" Is there a worry though that you always have to be
more successful than your last hit, because it's always stepping up the game for you girls"
(PERRIE) I always feel like it's the first hit like the first song off the new album, if you know what I mean?
So 'Wings' and then there was....'Move', oh my God, where am I?! So obviously feel like it's always
going to be bigger, but you never know! But 'Black Magic' was so successful we
were really in shock by how that did. We hoped it would do well but we never
imagined it would be three weeks at number one just insane".
But it's not just that - you girls - I don't know how you cope with this, but you're more successful than
the Spice Girls were in America, like, staying longer periods of time the top
of the chart it must be amazing because they're the girl group who everyone used to look up to!
(LEIGH-ANNE) "Let's not get it twisted, the Spice Girls are the very top of the tree! We look up to them so much and if we could have
of their success, because they were huge, literally!" (PERRIE) "Yeah we'll be happy if we had a little
bit, yeah, but still trying to work and it america's huge, it's gonna take sme time and
a lot of you know, hard work, but we're willing to do it." he did say that you're not quite
You did say that you haven't achieved yet what you wanted to - what is the long term plan, do you think?
(JADE)" I think we want a world tour, that's a big dream of ours, we just keep going until we
reach every milestone that we want to reach. I think we'll keep going forever" (LEIGH-ANNE) "I think we were will"
Yeah! Literally! People ask 'when are you going to have solo careers?' Excuse me? We don't want no solo careers! We're happy, we love being together,
we're strong and powerful as a force!"
The new single is called "Love Me Like You"
I wanna play a game....it's so hard to keep coming up with games! It's a really tenuous link, I'll give you an example!
It's a guessing game and I've got one for each of you, celebrity names on them, so take one each....
this is love me like you are....such a celebrity to describe the date which
they take you and the other person has to guess who you're with, so for example if I
say about it was very difficult time but thought I said this person will probably
take you ballroom dancing and keep telling everything that's on my mind out loud
(ALL) "Ed Sheeran!"
(LEIGH ANNE) "Ok, ok, I've got one, so this guy will give you a bit of summer love, and he's gonna be bringing sexy back"
(JESY) "Justin Timberlake!"
(JESY) "Oh, now it's my go? I'm gonna try and make it harder"
"This guy would call me Shorty a lot, and he'd probably take me to the club on my birthday....."
(PERRIE) "Jason DeRulo?"
(LEIGH-ANNE) "50 Cent!"
I would have gone with him taking me to a candy shop, so yeah!
Let's go with Jade!
"This one could come and see us do a show, since I'm so popualr!" "Ariane Grande!"
"No! If you piss us off, I'll go and write a song about you!"
(PERRIE, SHOUTING) "Taylor Swift! Ah, that was a good one!"
