Background[]
According to Little Mix, the message of the song is to make their fans feel good about themselves. “We really wanted to write a song basically about what we would tell ourselves if we could go back in time,” Jade explained to Capital FM, while Leigh-Anne Pinnock explained: “It’s basically a message to the fans because a lot of them are quite young. “It’s like we’ve all been through it, we’ve had haters and people telling us we can’t do it and it’s like, ‘Well I wish I hadn’t have handled it in that way, I wish I hadn’t have let them get me down’. In an interview with FrontRowLiveEnt.com, regarding the official music video, Jesy Nelson said: "We've never really done a video like this before. This is very heartfelt and meaningful. It's very sincere."
Lyrics[]
Jade:
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard
Leigh-Anne:
You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why
Jade with Little Mix:
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time and
Maybe listen to my own advice
Little Mix:
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be (Jesy: Little me)
Jesy:
Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
You can't write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way, yeah, yeah yeah
Perrie:
Run too fast, and you risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looked so small
Perrie with Little Mix:
Wish I know back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time and
Maybe listen to my own advice
Little Mix:
I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see (Jesy: And know that right here, right now)
You gotta speak up (Perrie: Speak up), you gotta shout out (Perrie: Shout out)
And know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be (Jade: Oh, little me)
