Context YMMV / LittleMix

Go To

1* FandomRivalry:
2** The rivalry of factions of Mixers with factions of fans of Music/FifthHarmony. When 5H disbanded, K-pop act Music/{{BLACKPINK}} are the fanbase whose fans try to compete against Mixers, though in a climate with girl groups so sparse, LM have never been worried.
3** Little Mix did later admit that both them and 5H being under Simon Cowell was awkward, but that they were different enough for it to have little effect on their relations. Ex-5H member Music/{{Normani}} wrote Bounce Back for LM in 2019.
4* HarsherInHindsight:
5** The lyrics from the group's single "Wasabi" come off like this when Jesy Nelson announced her departure from the girl group in 2020 due to eating disorders, anxiety and mental health issues.
6-->''(Oh-oh) "When she goin' solo?"''\
7''(Oh-oh) "I bet they gonna break up!"''
8** Not long after Jesy's departure from the group (following "Sweet Melody"), Little Mix announced in late 2021 that they would be "taking a break" from making music but insist to their fanbase that they are not "breaking up".
9** Their collaboration with Music/NickiMinaj is this in light of the extremely messy Instagram Live between Jesy, Nicki and Leigh-Anne where Leigh-Anne called out Jesy for blackfishing and stereotyping black men in the latter's music video for "Boyz" which caused Nicki to attack Leigh-Anne while [[NeutralFemale Jesy just sit by and watched]].
10* HollywoodHomely: In the "Black Magic" music video, the band acted as unpopular nerds the BigManOnCampus doesn't notice and whom the AlphaBitch shoves around before their "magical makeover" thanks to the spell book they found. However, the dressing down isn't very convincing because it only includes putting them in plainer clothes and hairstyles, Perrie and Jade wearing NerdGlasses before [[TheGlassesGottaGo they stopped using them]], and acting [[ShrinkingViolet shy and clumsy.]]
11* LesYay: In "Confetti", Jade is crushing on their rival Lenny (Leigh-Anne) while their other rival J-Dog (Jade) is crushing on Perrie. Now considering that the male alter-egos/rivals in the music video are played by , well, the girls...
12* LGBTFanbase: Little Mix has quite the fanbase with the LGBT+ community due to their support.
13* PortmanteauCoupleName:
14** Pesy (Perrie/Jesy)
15** Lerrie (Leigh Anne/Perrie)
16** Lesy (Leigh Anne/Jesy)
17** Jadesy or Jasy (Jade/Jesy)
18** Jeigh or Leighade (Leigh Anne/Jade)
19** Jerrie (Jade/Perrie)
20* SpiritualSuccessor:
21** Because of their TalentShow roots (where they trumped {{Boy Band}}s at their own game), Little Mix are comparable to Music/GirlsAloud's own origin story. Their songs have also garnered comparisons to the Music/SpiceGirls, Music/{{TLC}}[[note]](T-Boz herself appears on "Red Planet")[[/note]], and Music/DestinysChild.
22** "Move," the first single off ''Salute'', garnered comparisons to Girls Aloud, and Nicola Roberts herself co-wrote "Going Nowhere" for ''DNA'', and "See Me Now" and "They Don't Know You" for ''Salute''.
23** The title track of ''Salute'' can be considered this for Music/{{Beyonce}}'s "Run the World", as well as "How Ya Doin?" for Music/LadyGaga's "Telephone".
24* TearJerker:
25** Perrie breaking down emotionally after a live performance of their single "Black Magic" considering she went through the break-up of her engagement to Zayn.
26** After Jesy left the girl group to focus on her mental health and well-being, it was revealed that during the making of what was her last music video with Little Mix as a quartet, she suffered a severe anxiety attack during and after filming wrapped due to secretly suffering from body image dysmorphia.
