## Background

Shortly after Little Mix won the eighth series of The X Factor, singer-songwriters Gary Barlow and Biff Stannard were rumoured to be writing songs for the group's debut studio album.

On January 15, 2012, during an interview backstage, the group confirmed that they had been writing material for their debut album. They also revealed that plans to release their next single in March of that year were underway.

On March 24, the group announced that the release of the single would be delayed until April in a livestream. They also revealed the title to be "Wings", and that they would be performing the song live on April 9.

On April 16, the group's debut single, "Wings", was released as the original lead single with its accompanying music video.

On June 7, the group revealed that they had finished writing songs for the album, and were nearly finished with the final track listing.

On July 22, in an interview, the group confirmed that "Wings" had been scrapped from the album, due to "[the song] not fitting the theme". In the same interview, they also revealed that they would be releasing a new lead single soon.

On August 6, the album's lead single, "With You", was released with its accompanying music video.

On August 18, the album's title, release date and final track listing was posted on their social media platforms.

On November 2, two weeks before the release of the album, the album cover art was posted on their social media platforms.

On November 16, *With You* was released as the group's debut album, through Syco and Columbia, along with the second single "Always Be Together" and its accompanying music video.

On December 9, "All Over Again" was released as the third and final single from the album, and its accompanying music video was released on December 14.
