These Four Walls is a song by Little Mix and appears as the seventh track on their second album Salute.

Background[]

The song includes just a piano and delicately quiet violin strings behind them, Little Mix delivered a fragile vocals. Taking it in turns to chime through the track’s emotional chorus, It’s also a great display of each of the ladies’ vocals. It verbalizes everything when we experience loss, it’s a loss of pride and functionality.

Critical Reception[]

Popcrush writer Amy Sciarretto stated: "Here’s another ballad that is sprinkled in the middle of all that upbeat harmonizing. ‘These Four Walls’ is devastatingly, achingly and beautifully painful. It’s a vulnerable song that allows each Mixer to let her voice stir and arouse emotion over a simple piano melody. It almost feels a cappella at some points. This is the animated movie soundtrack song of 'Salute.'" [1]

Chart Performance[]

The song hit a peak of #57 on the UK Singles Chart.

Lyrics[]

Jade:
I feel so numb
Staring at the shower wall
It's begun, the feeling that the end has come
And now the water's cold
I tried to eat today
But the lump in my throat got in the way

Jesy:
In this time, I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a hundred times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine

And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
But you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
These four walls and me

Leigh-Anne:
I lay in bed
Can't seem to leave your side
Your pillow's wet from all these tears I've cried
I won't say goodbye
I tried to smile today
Then I realized there's no point anyway

Perrie:
In this time, I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a thousand times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine

And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
These four walls and me

Little Mix (Perrie):
(Oh and I) And I, I can't come alive (Can't come alive)
I want the room to take me under (Oh)
'Cause I can't help but wonder (Wonder what if I)
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep

Jesy:
These four walls and me
