Songs Little Mix ACTUALLY co-wrote!
So, British girl group Little Mix have had 5 studio albums already, but how many of their songs did they actually have a hand in writing? The following is a list that details exactly that and are according to information from Genius.com, so no, I'm not making these up. *If you see LM, it stands for Little Mix, and indicates that all four members (Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards & Jade Thirlwall) were credited for the lyrics *Camille Purcell is the same person as Kamille, just fyi First up is LM1- DNA album, where the girls co-wrote 9 out of the 16 songs: 1. Wings- LM, Heidi Rojas, Mischke, Michelle Lewis, Erika Nuri, Iain James & TMS 2. DNA- LM, Iain James & TMS 3. Change Your Life- LM, Ash Howes, Tim Powell & BIFFCO 4. Pretend It's Ok- LM ,Miranda Cooper, Luke Fitton & Brian Higgins 5. How Ya Doin'?- LM ,Curiosity Killed The Cat, Glenn Skinner, Shaznay Lewis, James Carter, Iyiola Babalola & Darren Lewis 6. Going Nowhere- LM, Nicola Roberts, Iain James & Fred Ball 7. Madhouse- LM, Rocky Morris, Rufio Sandilands & Iain James 8. Love Drunk- Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Allessandro Benassi, Tim Woodcock & Paul Meehan 9. Case Closed- LM, Iyiola Babalola, Michelle Lewis, Cathy Dennis & Drop Lamond Out of these 9 songs, 8 had all four girls play a part, while Love Drunk only had Leigh Anne co-writing. ##### Next is LM2- Salute Album, which saw an increase in lyrical contribution by the girls as 11 out of 15 songs listed them as co-writers. 1. Salute- TMS, Maegan Cottone, LM 2. Move- Maegan Cottone, LM & Nathan Duvall 3. Little Me- TMS, Iain James, LM 4. Nothing Feels Like You- MNEK, LM & Kamille 5. Competition- TMS, Iain James, Maegan Cottone, LM 6. These Four Walls- Ash Howes, Bradford Ellis, Shaznay Lewis, BIFFCO, LM 7. About The Boy- TMS, Shaznay Lewis, LM 8. Good Enough- TMS, LM & Kamille 9. A Different Beat- Ayak, TMS, Iain James, LM 10. They Just Don't Know You- Fred Ball, Nicola Roberts, Iain James, LM 11. Stand Down- Iyiola Babalola, Darren Lewis, LM All four girls had a hand in writing these 11 songs. ##### Third is LM3, the Get Weird Album (Deluxe Edition), which saw a steep drop in songs co-written by Little Mix themselves- only 7/16. 1. Grown- Jess Glynne, Jin Jin, Edvard Førre Erfjord, Henrik Michelsen, LM & Kamille 2. I Love You- TMS, LM & Kamille 3. OMG- Nick Monson, Maegan Cottone, LM, Mike Orabiyi, Jon Mills & Kurtis McKenzie 4. Lightning- Maegan Cottone, TroyBoi, LM 5. A.D.I.D.A.S.- Drake, 40, Maegan Cottone, Jordan Ullman, Majid Al Maskati, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Nathan Duvall, Kiris Houston & Anthony Jeffries 6. I Won't- TMS, Jess Glynne, LM 7. Clued Up- Jessie J, TMS, LM Other than ADIDAS that only listed Leigh and Jade, the other 6 songs credited all four of them. Thus, none of their singles that era were written by Little Mix! ##### Second to last is LM4, Glory Days Album (Platinum Edition), which again saw a drop: only 6/18 songs were co-written by the girls. 1. Shout Out To My Ex: Ed Drewett, Iain James, Edvard Førre Erfjord, Henrik Michelsen, LM & Kamille 2. F.U.- Michael McHenry, Jean Baptiste, Maegan Cottone, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Samuel Gerongco, Robert Gerongco & Alessia Rita Iorio 3. Down and Dirty- Maegan Cottone, RØMANS, Fridolin Walcher, LM 4. Nobody Like You- Steve Robson, Emily Warren & Leigh-Anne Pinnock 5. Private Show- Maegan Cottone, RØMANS, Fridolin Walcher, LM 6. Freak- Jesy Nelson, Nick Atkinson, Jake Roche & Dan Bartlett Once again, other than SOTME, none of Little Mix's singles that era were written by them, and only 3 songs had all four girls contributing to the writing. A record low! ##### Last but not least is the album LM5, which finally saw a reverse in the trend as 8 out of the 17 songs were co-written by the girls: 1. The National Manthem- Sarah Hudson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Kevin White, Mike Woods & James Abrahart 2. Strip- Camille Purcell, LOCO, Sharaya J, LM 3. Joan of Arc- Youthonix, Patrick Jordan-Patrikios, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Phil Plested & Shungudzo 4. Love A Girl Right- SisQó, Desmond Child, Camille Purcell, LOCO, Pal Joey, Tim Kelley, Bob Robinson, Robi Draco Rosa, LM & Marquis Collins 5. Wasabi- MNEK, Jade Thirlwall, Shungudzo & Michael Sabbath 6. Motivate- Youthonix, Patrick Jordan-Patrikios, Jenna Andrews, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, James Norton & Yei Gonzalez 7. Notice- Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall & Shungudzo 8. Woman's World- Jez Ashurst, Jade Thirlwall & Rachel Furner Jade and Leigh seems to have taken over co-writing responsibility this era. Only 2 songs credit all 4 girls, while Jade appears in all 8 songs. (Technically another record low for "songs every member co-wrote", but at least the total number of songs increased!) Well that's all I have for this post, hope it's been helpful! :) #Mixer #LittleMix #Song-writing #Co-wrote #DNA #Salute #GetWeird #GloryDays #LM5
