Little Mix turn up the heat in their 'Bounce Back' lyrics and we're sweating...
Little Mix's 'Bounce Back' lyrics are their most explicit lyrics yet and, honestly, they're iconic.
Little Mix may have only just released their critically acclaimed fifth studio album LM5 but the girls are already back with new music and it slaps. 'Bounce Back' is an experimental banger produced by Stargate (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Katy Perry) and it's up there with the band's best work.

Not only do Little Mix sound more confident than ever but 'Bounce Back' also sees the girls show off their flawless harmonies and enter new sonic territory. If that weren't enough, the lyrics are filthy in the best possible way.
What are Little Mix's 'Bounce Back' lyrics about?
Little Mix first began teasing the 'Bounce Back' lyrics in captions on their Instagram posts earlier this year. They then shared even more via 'Bounce Back' hotspots all around the world which fans could visit this week (Jun 11) to find out more about the single. The song samples 'Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)' by Soul II Soul and it sees Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie transform the 30-year-old classic into a sex bop.

In the opening verse, Jesy coos: "You know I'll be getting Vita-D // That's why I can't fit up in these jeans", setting the tone for the song. Perrie takes things further singing: "Hot boy, better give me what I need". A life mantra. She then adds: "Wear me on his body like a throwback // And he better not move when I throw it back". After, Leigh-Anne and Jade quip: "Baby, keep me wetter than a bayou // If you don't, I'm gonna walk right by you". And I oop.
The chorus sees Little Mix interpolate Soul II Soul's "However do you want me // However do you need me" refrain with the already immortal line: "Bring the bounce back, bring the, bring the bounce back". After watching Little Mix get criticised so often for simply embracing their sexuality (and being women - misogyny still rears its ugly head everywhere), it's great to hear the band ignore the haters, have fun and relish in their own brilliance.
