The official press release has been posted on their website.

The song will be premiered worldwide for the very first time this Sunday night when the girls perform the track on The X Factor results show.

'Shout Out To My Ex' will then be available worldwide to download and stream straight after the performance.

Written by Little Mix, Camille Purcell, Iain James and Electric and produced by Electric, 'Shout Out To My Ex' is the epitome of the word anthem. An empowering, in your face, break up song, with a killer chorus and bold lyrics, this track is sure to ignite pop fans worldwide.

I'm just gonna have to wait until the song is released to find out.

The description in the above press release is promising. If it's an anthem with a killer chorus, that alone could sell the song. If it's also supposed to ignite "pop fans" then maybe this could be a great new song.

2016 has been quite a disappointing year for UK chart hits (curse you Spotify!!! ). It would be great to end the year on a high note.

As long as they knock James Arthur off, I'm good.

From the Sun's lyric posting I wasnt geting an obvious chorus so maybe they just picked out the juicy stuff to post. Otherwise the song seems a little odd structurally.

Also they said "premiere" so no radio play on Friday?

I like it! It sounds much more upbeat than those lyrics suggested.

Good to get a teaser out to build up more buzz/excitement/anticipation for the new single.

So it's definitely not going to sound like Salute then.

I assume they are going to release 4 teasers then with each of the girls.

I dont know why some fans were expecting more Salute. From the first post:

3. It's probably more Get Weird than DNA or Salute tbh
"It's another step from anything we've ever done before. It's a lot more cool-sounding. It's quite slick, but at the same time it's kind of like Get Weird. It's very Little Mix, that's all you need to know.

"Still pop, still fun, a little bit of quirkiness; especially production-wise this time. Some of it's quite chilled and laidback. You're in for a treat."

The album has been confirmed as Glory Days and the deluxe edition will include The Get Weird Tour Dvd

Shall we alert the mods and get them to change the album thread?

Well that was fast. Thanks mods.

It looks like Metallica and Bruno Mars will be their chart competition on Nov. 18.

Looking forward to the album but why did they call it Glory Days? It seems a bit strange considering Britney's latest album is called Glory.

Maybe "Imperial Phase" was too bald.

That was my first thought when I first read the title. But to be fair on Little Mix, they probably had no idea Britney was calling her album Glory and vice versa. It was probably too late to change when either party found out. Similar thing happened in 2008 when Britney was releasing 'Circus' and Take That was releasing 'The Circus' [then to make matters worst, a month or two before P!nk released her album 'Funhouse' which had a similar Circus album/tour theme ]

Looking forward to this, I was pleasantly surprised by GW so Im interested to see what they come up with next. I like the title Glory Days, although the album covers are a bit dire, at least they're not sitting on a sofa this time!

I like that they are including a dvd with the deluxe. Deluxe editions mainly just include 3/4 extra songs. But to get a dvd is an even bigger bonus and makes it worth paying that few extra quid. Can't wait.

@LMUSAUpdates We can neither confirm or deny whether #LittleMixOnKISS is happening tomorrow...😉 #SOTME


Allegedly a radio debut at 8 am Friday. Whew. They get some radio play before Sunday's performance.

As a bit of a Springsteen fan, 'Glory Days' conjures up a certain feeling and time. Maybe it's the same for LM? And their audience?

I'm thinking of all the incredible titles they could have chosen from the Boss, 'Hungry Heart', 'Pink Cadillac', 'Thunder Road'....maybe it's a cover?

There's a touch of the 'Black Magic' sound with that.

Wise move getting the radio airplay starting tomorrow (if it happens - that Tweet doesn't exactly confirm anything).

Plus, the way the charts are now it doesn't really matter when a single is released. If it's popular enough it'll climb to the top. It's just that a Friday release means more chance of entering at #1 but we're now in an era where songs entering at #1 will become a rare feat.

If I recall correctly, KISS was intended to debut Black Magic but then it was leaked the previous week. I wouldnt be surprised if this was to make up for that.

I cant believe some think a radio debut earlier than Sunday's release is a bad idea. Having BM out for 6 weeks prior really hurt its sales, alright. Only fans and XF viewers and enraged Z fans currently know about its release date.

I've just pre-ordered the album on the LM website this morning, comes with free pre-sale tickets for the tour and is also signed.

Now that's worth paying £12 for!

I remember that. It seemed like circus-themed albums were the order of the day back in 2008.

Maybe "Imperial Phase" was too bald.
Or maybe it sounded too much like a shampoo
