## **Background**

On March 12, 2020, Little Mix released a music video for their song "Wasabi", where at the end of the video the album cover for the group's fifth studio album *LM5* was blasted away by an explosion of confetti, followed by the message 'New Era Pending', foreshadowing the title of their next album. In March 2020, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall confirmed in an interview that the album was in the process of recording. A Snapchat posted by Perrie Edwards on July 17, 2020 hinted that the album was complete. This was later confirmed by the group during an MTV Music interview on July 24, 2020. Leigh-Anne stated in an Instagram Q&A that the album will be released sometime in 2020.
