Leigh-Anne is the first member of Little Mix to announce her solo project, ahead of bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, who are also working on individual projects alongside the likes of long-time Little Mix collaborator Kamille, Fred again.. and songwriter James 'JHart' Abrahart.

The news comes after Leigh-Anne's manager Ed Millett told Music Week in May that her first video, as well as 'photos and trailers,' are already in the can ahead of her solo launch. That launch, he teased, will be "coming very soon".

He explained that Leigh-Anne's solo style is "so different from Little Mix in a lot of ways", adding: "The music is absolutely sensational, and she is a dream to work with. She's incredibly ambitious and what's been exciting about this process is it's not her carrying on doing Little Mix pop tunes as a solo artist; this is the birth of a new global artist."

Ed continued: "And the people that have jumped on the train when they've heard the music are the top level people. Whether it be stylists, or photographers, or creatives, or directors, people hear the music and are like, 'I want to be on this.'"
