9 Little Mix Quotes To Make You Feel Like A Queen
Little Mix are strong, resillient queens who champion self-love, individuality and girl power in everything that they do.
Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards have shaken up the music industry as the UK's most successful girl group of all time thanks to their immaculate pop, insane vocals and infectious energies.
Since day one, themes of empowerment have dominated their music and overall message, as they have battled with an industry that demandedperfection when they were between the ages of 16 and 18. They celebrate imperfection, shine a light on what makes each of them unique, encourage each other - and all others - in owning their sexualities without shame and to simply do whatever the hell they want to.
They may be more grown now, however that is only making their voices louder as their brand new single 'Woman Like Me' - featuring fellow queen Nicki Minaj -takes their mission of love to even higher places.
To celebrate the girls' epic return, we have put together some of their most inspirational and empowering quotes that'll pick you up on a 'meh' kinda day.
Now first thing's first...
Who Got The Power?
'You're the man, but I got the, I got the, I got the power /You make rain, but I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll make it shower /You should know, I'm the one who's in control'
The girls reminded everyone that men do not have ownership of anyone in this world with their timeless banger 'Power' and'girl'are they right!
All Hair Is Beautiful
'"My niece of 7 years once said she didn’t like her Afro & wanted to look like the other girls in her class. It broke my heart that she didn’t consider what she had as beautiful. Love your curls, love your Afro..we need to teach young black girls that it IS just as beautiful."'
Leigh-Anne shared this heartbreaking story about her niece in August 2018 to let any person of colour, particularly young black girls, know that their hair is beautiful and should be worn proudly. The singer has always felt comfortable with her own afro as she has owned it since the X Factor days, and it won't be going away any time soon.
You Are Enough As You Are
'I got my pride, my self-respect /Need nothing more, want nothing less /'Cause all that I got should be enough to make it work'
The girls have been encouraging fans to love themselves as they are since the beginning, with this lush lyric being taken from the song 'I Won't'on the'Get Weird'album.
Be Proud Of Who You Are
'"You should be so, so proud of yourself. And I feel so humbled and honoured to have a played a part in your personal journey. Congratulations on this new chapter of your life, where you can be completely yourself with the love and support of those around you."'
Jade Thirlwall has become one of the most notable LGBTQ+ community allies in popmusic, frequently speaking out in support with words of encouragement for the band's queer fans. Here, Jade replied to a fan online after they let her know that the band had given them the strength to come out to their family.
The band dedicated their single 'Secret Love Song' to the queer community, which Jade reinforced every night on the Glory Days Tour with a touching speechbefore they performed the gorgeousballad.
Werk Your Insecurities
'"Growing up I was always insecure about the freckles on my face. Over the last couple of years I’ve started to embrace them and don’t feel I need to hide them anymore. “Embrace your individuality. Love what you love without worrying about judgement.""'
Very recently, Perrie shared her biggest insecurity with the world as she posted a bare faced selfie for the first time ever, revealing her freckles. By setting an example in herself, she has shown that the journey to complete self-acceptance isn't a one day thing and that it's okay to take time - just in the end, realise you're gorgeous regardless.
Be Unique
'“Your insecurities are what makes you different and what makes you who you are. If everyone look the same it would be boring.”'
Jesy has always been very outspoken about body confidence and self-love as she was unfortunately on the receiving end of some cruel abuse in the very early days of their career. Thankfully, she has learned that being different is exactly what makes us special - so own it!
There's No Need To 'Fit In'
'"We have all fallen victim to feeling like we need to change who we are / what we look like in order to fit into a society that determines what is and isn’t beautiful. You are beautiful. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way. It is society that needs to change, not you."'
Jade strikes again with some bad-ass words of love and encouragement, making sure we all know that we are pretty damn beautiful as we are and there's no need to change to fit into whatever standards we're held against. Do you!
Don't Give Up
'Insecure but I'm working with it /Many things that I could get rid of /Ain't about to give it up'
Leigh-Anne lives that boss life on their brand new single 'Woman Like Me', deciding to own her insecurities instead of trying to change them for whoever else so she can keep doing her'own'thing. Slay!
Just Be A F**king Queen
'Sisters we are everywhere /Warriors, your country needs you /If you're ready ladies, better keep steady /Ready, aim, shoot /Don't need ammunition, on a mission /And we'll hit you with the truth /Divas, queens, we don't need no man, salute!'
That's right. You're a queen. They are queens. We are all queens. Queens is gender neutral, bee tee dubz. Queens all day.
