Taking to Twitter on Monday night, the superstars revealed the title, kept under wraps til this point, was going to be LM5.
They also announced it will be released globally on 16 November. Theres a lot to unpack here!
Writing on their social media account, the band, made up of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Ann Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall said theyd taken inspiration from the fans when naming their latest effort.
We love how youve named each of our eras over the years. So weve decided to call our next album…#LM5 they wrote.

Little Mix have spent the last year writing and recording the album with an A-List cast of writers and producers such as Ed Sheeran, Jess Glynne, Camille Purcell, MNEK, Timberland and RAYE, while the first single, Woman Like Me featured Nicki Minaj, and was released last week
The stellar foursome had been working on the tunes for some time, with fans naming the drop LM5 when referencing it with their own theories and intel over the past few months.
So while many were pretty chuffed all was confirmed and we finally had a release date, others felt short-changed.
