So, Neon Jungle. Hi guys. Lovely to meet you.
First of all, you all look absolutely incredible. Honestly.
So do you.
All your pictures, you always look so fashionable. How do you do it every single day, looking so hot?
You lying to us.
My head is like swelling.
Braveheart Show me what you got
Now, your new single, I absolutely love it. I was doing a workout last night, and I put
it on YouTube, and I was like I just want to grind. I want to get down and dirty. Such
an amazing tune. You must be so proud of it.
We do love it.
When you first listened back to it, what was your initial reaction?
Do you know what? Even as a demo when we first heard it. Do you know what? We were in the
studio recording a different song that was going to be on the album at the time, and
we were just speaking to the producers because we really enjoy working with them. And we
were like oh yeah, what else have you got? And they showed us like the beat and the idea
and we was like... We need this song.
Ichi, ni, san, kaesu
I started listening to it, and I was like oh yeah I love it and then it just got really
grimy and I was like oh, the bass. Then you started rapping, and I was like I love these girls.
Thank you.
Now, what would you say makes you different to The Saturdays, Little Mix? Obviously, there's
a lot of girl bands out there, but what makes you guys unique?
We don't do the generic dance routines, matching outfits. And if we did, I think our manager
would be like get back. We would do that. Yeah, we once turned up in the same colour,
and we were like no, let's sort this out.
She tried to make us dance once. I had a panic attack. I ran out of the room, was outside
like... These three were trying to comfort me, and I was like couldn't breathe. Dancing
is just not for me.
I can't even remember the Macarena. I'm terrible. I can't remember it still after like 24 years.
Now, I've got to ask about the name Neon Jungle. I think it's a fantastic name. Where does
it come from?
This lovely lady here.
No, it came from. It came after a very long time. Eventually it came from one of the songs
on our album, the song that we were recording before we recorded Braveheart actually. Welcome
to the Jungle. Let's make this about us. Like welcome to us, like jungle. What can we put
in front of it? Like neon. Yeah! Neon Jungle! It was like the first name that we all thought
yes, yes yes, and it was like thank God for that because it took so long.
To clarify, you didn't meet in a jungle. There was no jungle involved.
No, it's totally random. Unfortunately not.
Now you girls look like you get on great, but what is it like being in a group together?
You must annoy each other. I mean, me and my best friends, we annoy each other. What
is it like because you didn't know each other beforehand, or did you just gel really well
instantly?
From the first time we even went out, like our first meal, we were already pouring our
hearts out. We just skipped to the good bit, for real.
Are you a virgin? The most important question ever.
It's so true though. It was actually like that.
And obviously the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Huge. First UK act ever to perform on such an amazing show,
tell me a bit more about that.
Incredible.
That hasn't even sunk in yet. That's something that I think we're all going to tell our kids.
What would you have done if they went girls, you can perform, but you have to do it in
your underwear. Would you have been like, okay?
Rock on!
Can I have the six million dollar one please?
Did you get to meet Taylor Swift? Tell me about that because I love Taylor.
She came and knocked on our dressing room door and was like, Hi I'm Taylor. Like we
didn't know who she was. We were having our little bits of jokes, and every time she walked
past. Oh, did it look okay? You guys are awesome. And she gave us a goodie bag afterwards, met her mum
She gave you a goodie bag?
Yeah, it had a blanket in it.
Hey guys, here's a goodie bag.
We actually went back to the airport with Taylor Swift wrapped around us. We were repping it hard.
She gave you just merchandise of her. Only Taylor Swift could do that. So was that just
incredible meeting her?
She was. Fall Out Boy as well. I went through the, I don't know if it's appropriate to say
the emo stage.
I went through that. I wore a hoodie. It was so fun.
I had the big eyeliner, the back combed black hair, the clips here that made no sense. They
weren't even like doing anything. And like I had a Fall Out Boy poster on my wall that
I would like sing to and you know, just talk to.
And my tour manager, our tour manager was just like... Yeah, just don't mention that.
So I went there and was like oh yeah, my tour manager told me not to mention it, but I had
posters of you when I was younger and I used to always talk to it. And Pete Wentz was just
like, that's so cool.
That's so cool. So that was a highlight for you then.
Oh yeah, 100 per cent.
Now, collaborations. I heard you want to work with Pharrell.
Is that...? Yes.
Dream collaborations?
Obviously, One Direction, but that's very predictable for me to say.
I think a One Direction collaboration would be great?
How good would that be? Ahhhhhhhhh!
Yeah, she is a Directioner until the end.
Oh really? So that would be a dream for you then. I can imagine that.
Oh my, I couldn't perform. I'd have to take a five minute breather.
Would you be starstruck? I met One Direction once.
Before Neon Jungle I met them. I waited from three o'clock in the morning to three o'clock the next day.
Yeah, their fans. They're committed, their fans.
That was me. That was you doing that?
Was? Is. Yeah, it's still me.
What's the dream celeb boyfriend at the moment? You're at a cool celeb party. All the stars
are there. If you could pick one to be your future husband...
I've got two. You've got two. Niall Horan or Harry Styles.
So Niall or Harry. Both of them together. That would be brilliant. Now, obviously you
girls, I can start talking about the fame thing. The paps are going to be out. There's
going to be paps left, right and centre, falling out of nightclubs. Hopefully not falling out.
Stepping out, very glamorously. If one of you had to be papped falling out of a nightclub,
which one would it be? There's always one in a girlband that gets a bit drunk and falls
out of a cab.
Probably me and Jess. If me and Jess went out together, it'd be both of us. I'm a lightweight.
If Asami has heels on, she doesn't even need to be drunk. She's falling over.
Oh, the ankles are going! But do you know what? When I'm like drunk, I can walk like... I'm like... Well, I think
I am, but you get those beer goggles. And then you watch the video back, and it's like...
Yeah, it probably will be me. It definitely will be me. I can't lie.
It's hard, like especially when you're getting out.
They go everywhere, those paps. That's why... Always wear underwear. That's my one piece
of advice. I was looking at girl's Twitter. Which one of you is eating baby food?
Me.
What is this about?
Let me just put it out there. I just eat really weird stuff occasionally. I just have this
thing. It's called Pica. It's a desire to eat non-food items or strange food items.
I don't know if it's strange. I quite get that.
Not just baby food, but like in general. Like the ice, like the crayons, raw cabbage, stuff like that.
Crayons?
Yeah, like when I was younger, I used to eat crayons and like and try to eat pencils and stuff.
Memories wide open Summer keeps calling
Finally girls, we're going to play a little game called snog, marry, avoid with boybands.
You can't do this to me. First one, the 1D boys.
So first of all, who would you snog? Who would you marry? And who would you avoid?
Okay...
Let's pretend they're all single, so marry Zayn, snog Harry and avoid poor little Niall.
I would marry Liam. He's so good looking. I would avoid Louie. Marry Harry? Yeah.
They know that they can't say Harry.
I would marry Zayn, but... Perrie isn't going to be happy with you.
I know. Sorry, Perrie. You've done good.
You can't marry all of them. That's the first rule.
Avoid Zayn because he's engaged. I'm going to marry Niall because he seems a bit more
marriage material and have a snog with Harry. And because the other two are in relationships
anyway, it's not like I'm avoiding them, it's just that they're off limits anyway.
There's not any other options, but they can just hang out with you when you're married.
YOLO.
Like it's actually realistic that we're going to marry them.
This is so going to happen. This is official.
Well, I'm going to avoid Niall because I'm going to be his future wife's maid of honour.
I'm going to snog Harry. Why not? We can talk about it after. See how it went.
Harry's one lucky boy.
What's the other one? Marry.
Marry Zayn.
One more finally. Take That boys!
I have to avoid Robbie Williiams. What?!
He looks like my dad. Oh.
Her stepdad.
I get mixed up between Howard and Orange, Jason Orange. Okay, so what's your choice?
I'd marry Gary.
Would everyone marry Gary and snog Robbie?
No, I wouldn't marry Gary. I'd avoid Gary. I'd avoid all of them because they're all old
enough to be my dad.
That's true. I forget you guys are all young.
I'd probably put one on hold for my mum.
That makes me feel old! I remember when I loved Take That. Anyway guys, thank you so
much. Thank you! Your single is amazing. It's out the 19th.
