This is not a drill: Little
Mix have just revealed the title, cover artwork and release date for their
fourth studio album – and we think this news totally deserves a triple fist
pump, so go right ahead…
Finished? Ok, so the girls
have dropped some seriously exciting information about their upcoming album,
most notably that it’s called Glory Days and will be released on November 18,
but will be available to pre-order tomorrow.

Making their announcement in
a video on Twitter, the girl group divulged the juicy details of their chart
comeback, writing alongside the clip: “We’ve got something AMAZING to tell you
lovely lot!”
What’s more, Jesy revealed
that fans who purchase the deluxe edition of the album will receive the Get
Weird Tour DVD as an added bonus – so now we can (try to) mimic their dance moves
in between learning all of the lyrics to their new songs.
Oh, and here’s the shiny new cover artwork for their upcoming album:

Nailed it.
Glory Days will be preceded
by brand new single Shout Out To My Ex, which the girls – Perrie Edwards,
Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall – will perform
on the X Factor stage this weekend.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Jade
shared some more details about what we can expect from the track, saying:
“Shout Out To My Ex is a song that we’re sure load of people can relate to.
“It’s all about moving on
after a relationship ends to bigger and better things, and leaving the past
where it should be.”

Perrie added: “We’re really
proud and excited about our new album and can’t wait to share the new music
with everyone. Shout Out To My Ex was unanimously our favourite choice for the
first single. It’s the perfect taster for what is to come!”
Glory Days serves as the
follow-up to Little Mix’s 2015 album Get Weird, which became the group’s highest
charting and best-selling album in the UK to date, and spawned several hit singles
including Black Magic, Love Me Like You and Hair.
Little Mix will release Shout
Out To My Ex on Sunday after their first ever live performance on The X Factor
on ITV1 from 8pm. The girls’ full album Glory Days will be released on November 18,
but is available to pre-order tomorrow.
What a time to be alive.
