Their debut album, DNA, was released in November 2012, featuring the pop hits “Wings” and “DNA.” Released in 2013, Little Mix’s second album, Salute, featured the hit singles “Salute,” “Little Me” and “Move.” Their new single, “Black Magic,” was another smash hit from the pop stars.

“Black Magic”
By Little Mix
All the girls on the block
Knocking at my door
Wanna know what it is
Make the boys want more
Is your lover playing on your side
Said he loves you
But he ain't got time
Here's the answer
Come and get it
At a knocked-down price
Hey
Full of honey
Just to make him sweet
Crystal balling
Just to help him see
What he's been missing
So come and get it
While you've still got time
Hey
Get your boy on his knees
And repeat after me, say
Chorus
Take a sip of my secret potion
I'll make you fall in love
For a spell that can't be broken
One drop should be enough
Boy, you belong to me
I got the recipe
And it's called black magic
If you're looking for Mr. Right
Need that magic
To change him overnight
Here's the answer
Come and get it
While you've still got time
Hey
(Chorus)
Falling in love
Hey, magic
