You are pretty much one of the biggest girl groups the world at the moment and then you
have the biggest boy group in the world saying that they want to collaborate with you, they
want to write for you. Obviously one direction, they are probably your biggest supporters
it seems like at the moment. Are we going to see this happen? Are we going to see the
biggest girl group in the UK and the biggest boy group in the UK doing a collaboration?
Jesy: You never know! We would never say no. They're great boys. When we performed with
them the other day Liam said he really wanted to write with us. So that could be interesting.
You think it could be a different kind of sound to what you already do?
Jesy: Yeah I do. I think it would be interesting I'd like to see what it would be like.
Leigh-Ann: Or just like a mini concert that would be sick. That would be cool.
That would be good. I think you two doing a tour together that would be like, it would
be like how I went to see ‘Backstreet Boys’ and ‘New Kids On The Block’ together,
I mean that was pretty awesome. So, that's what it would be like for your fans, I've no doubt.
But you girls do loads of writing yourselves as well. You wrote for Britney?
Girls: Yeah, we did.
Is there anyone else who you want to write for?
Leigh-Ann: Oooo, we've never really thought about writing for other people as much.
It kind of just happened. Which was amazing. Oh gosh, I don't know we're writing for ourselves at the minute.
Perrie: I think we just write lots of different songs and then if it kind of works for us,
it works. If it doesn't we pitch it out to other people. So that's how it kind of works
but if we were ever in a session with anybody it would be really fun to work with like,
I mean writing a song for Beyonce would be great, because then you know it's going to be a hit.
Beyonce always, you can pretty much give her as the answer to any question generally.
Who do you want to work with, Beyonce. Who do you want to meet, Beyonce.
Yeah. It kind of works for anything.
Perrie: Oh my god that's so true.
Have you done much writing on 'Get Weird'?
Perrie: We have, we've worked with some amazing people on this album. We've worked with
Jess Glynn, our girl, we literally love Jess. She's incredible.
Perrie: We've worked with Jessie J, who's insanely talented as well. We've worked with Ed Drewett,
who's done some 1D stuff. He's wrote some really big hits. So we were lucky to work with him.
But yeah it's been a long process this album, we took a lot of time out to get
it right and get it perfect but we're very happy with it now. We're just happy it's done
and we've done some amazing stuff with some amazing people and we're now friends for life.
And are there any songs we should be listening out to? Have you got any favourites on the
album that we should be looking out for?
Jade: Lightening's a good one. Perrie: Oooo, ‘Lightening’, yeah, that's a good one. It's a show stopper. I'm obsessed
with that song, I can't get enough. Leigh-Ann: Weird people of course. The album
is 'Get Weird’, that just explains everything that Little Mix are all about. 'Grown', I love
grown. Yeah, ‘Grown’. ‘I Wont’, every single song!
I was just checking if you had your favourites.
Leigh-Ann: Yeah, we love them all. And the ballads, as well. There's some really good ballads on there.
I do love a ballad. I love a ballad I can cry to. Yeah, you can cry to these ones and
stare out the window of your car. Pretend you're in a music video in the car.
We're all so guilty of doing that. Right?!
Everybody does it and if you say no, you're lying. And I do have to touch on the way you
girls look because I open up magazines, I go online and I'm just like they look flawless
all the time and I'm like want, want, want.
Jade: Aww. I feel like I can't breathe.
But I'm like, Little Mix fashion is something that's coming because you're always on point
with the way you're dressed.
Girls: Oh thank you. Is it coming?
Leigh-Ann: I blooming hope so, I think we have grown so much with our fashion don't
you think? Like we've really gone, really deep into our own styles and we're so individual
and I love that about us. But who knows maybe a line down the line.
A line down the line.
Leigh-Ann: Maybe, that would be great. Maybe a collaboration with Topshop, that would be
lovely, who knows. Perrie: Anyone really, we love fashion.
Absolutely love it, we would love to do something like that.
Definitely, I can definitely see that happening. When I first came in I said to you girls,
obviously I interviewed you way back when, when you first one the X-Factor and we talked
about all the stuff you girls could do with being Little Mix and even houses came up.
I think we talked about Little Mix houses, literally everything that could possibly come up.
So what have you managed to do so far that you’re really happy with?
Leigh-Ann: Perfume. We're already planning the next one, it's insane. We were so excited
when we heard that we could do our own perfume, that's what real pop stars do. That was just amazing.
Jade: like having a Little Mix lunch box. Yes!
Do you carry it around?
Jade: Of course, I'm my biggest fan. Leigh-Ann: I love seeing my Niece have that,
it's just really an amazing thing. Jade: All them things we had as kids, like we had the
spice girl dolls and things like that, so it's very exciting.
And Jessie, just to you quickly. Because we spoke to Jake last night at pride of Britain
and everywhere was that Ed Sheeran is going to name your first child. I know that's not
happening yet but Jake said to us that Ed Sheeran wants to name the child a really rude name.
Jesy: A very rude name. Naughty boy!
How did this even come about? I don't understand how!
Jesy: Well, obviously Ed sung when Jake proposed now he's like he can name our children.
Perrie: Why is Ed Sheeran such jokes, he's so funny isn't he.
Jesy: That's not going to happen. If he wants to it a nice child, a nice name then he can.
Perrie: A nice child!! Jesy: If he wants to name it a nice name he can.
I was like, how has this even come about, bless her. Fielding question about Ed Sheeran
naming a baby that isn't here yet, but I had to ask.
Girls I'm so looking forward to hearing the album there is so much which you've done already
and it's really nice to seeing a British girl group doing so well state side.
Girls: Thank you
And still coming back and making time for UK fans. That's always lovely. I can't wait to see the video.
Girls: Yay, you're so lovely. It's because I interviewed you girls when you first started out.
So you kind of feel like you've been on the journey with you.
Perrie: Yeah. Can you it here all day, I love this.
Leigh-Ann: Have you seen us on tour? Or have you seen us perform?
I haven't. I haven't.
Girls: You need to come! I know.
I wanted to come to the apple music thing and I didn't manage to get tickets!
Girls: Right, well you can come to and see us on tour. We will hook you up.
Jade: And can you come dressed as Princess Jasmine?
I can, I've got an outfit obviously because I went into work the other day and my colleagues,
like you look like princess Jasmine today so I'll wear that.
Jade: Please, it'll make my day. Perrie: Jade is literally infatuated with you
right now. You look just like her.
You could be Princess Jasmine as well though!
Jade: Oh, stop. Perrie: She wanted that, she's fishing for that. She wanted that
Well' I'm happy to deliver. Girls, always a pleasure to see you.
Girls: Thank you! Well, I look forward to seeing you on tour.
Girls: Yes!! We will make it happen, definitely.
Thank you so much
