The first single off Little Mix’s upcoming album ‘Between Us’ has finally been released
and while fans are excited, the song’s lyrics ALSO have fans worried that this could be
the last single they ever release!?
Let’s talk about it.
With the release of their new album ‘Between Us’ only a week away, Little Mix has released
a new single out into the world and while many fans are clearly excited, it has left
others feeling a bit worried about the future of the group...
We’re not surprised fans are feeling nervous about what’s next to come for Little Mix
because the band released the lyric video for the song alongside some very revealing
tweets…
They wrote: “Between Us is out now.
This song is extremely special to us.
It's about the last ten years and everything we've been through together.
We've had this song for months now and we still get emotional every time we hear it
(who knows how we're gonna get through this one live).
“
Why are they so worried about getting through this song live?
One hand it could be because it's a super emotional track about everything they’ve
been through together.
But for some fans, they think this could be because the song is actually about the end
of Little Mix forever?!?
Say it ain’t so!
Many fans seem to think this theory could be true because the lyrics of Between Us are
loaded with nostalgia, references to their hit songs, and some loaded phrases that could
signal the end of the band….
Or not.
In the opening line of the song Jade Thirlwall sings: "When the curtains close and all of
the lights go down, safe to say I'll stay, I will always stick around."
And this could mean anything, like from regular, normal stage curtains or as some fans think,
they could be referencing the symbolic curtains of Little Mix as a group?
In saying that though, fans shouldn’t jump to conclusions as this could also just mean
that no matter what, they will ALWAYS be sticking around and together.
Like all song lyrics, it's open to interpretation.
The song even alludes to the drama surrounding former band member Jesy Nelson walking away
from Little Mix with the lyrics: “Like, damn we got history, shared every misery,
lived every victory, yeah we got synergy, if they hurt you, they're hurting me."
While it’s not clear if the song is alluding to the end of Little Mix in any way, it IS
clear that the song addresses just how close Jade, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Perrie Edwards
have gotten over the last ten years while being in the band…
But despite this being very clear, some fans are CONVINCED that this single will be the
last one they release and signals the end of Little Mix as we know it.
Nooooo!!!
One fan commented on the lyric video saying: “This song actually had me crying.
I can’t tell if it is a farewell song or them saying that they will stay together.”
And that fan wasn’t alone.
Another chimed in with: “This song has made me hella emotional.
But its so beautiful.
The lyrics, visuals and everything.
They might go their separate ways but its little mix for ever and im here for it.”
Another commenter was convinced after hearing the song, that the Between Us album has got
to be a farewell album.
They wrote: “With this song, it's making me feel like this next album will be their
farewell/final album...
If it is, I'll be extremely sad, but no matter what happens, I'll always support them and
jam out to their music.
Little Mix will forever be one of the greatest girl groups of all-time!
Love you guys!”
We’re not crying, you’re crying.
Okay fine we’re ALL crying about the possibility that it could be the end of Little Mix!
But we really hope that’s not the case.
And while everyone is in their feels, it could be jumping at shadows and a complete misunderstanding
of the lyrics, that is, that they will always be together as a band, ni matter what.
One fan acknowledged the rumors and theories, but was more hopeful about the future.
They said: “The new era has [begun] and we are here for it!!
Hope it’s not the last.”
Whether this song signals a new exciting era for Leigh-Anne, Jade, and Perrie or an end
for Little Mix, we will continue to stan and support them no matter what!
Now excuse us as we go listen to Between Us and cry on repeat until Little Mix drops the
whole album on November 12th.
