Confetti (Little Mix song)

A partially re-recorded remix of the track featuring American rapper Saweetie was released on 30 April 2021, as the fourth and final single from the album.

It was Little Mix's first single release as a trio, with the removal of former member Jesy Nelson's vocals after her departure from the group in December 2020.

[4] "Confetti" received generally positive reviews from music critics, with many praising its feel-good vibe and self-sufficient lyrics.

[7][9] The remix was also included as a bonus track on the Record Store Day vinyl editions of the album, which was released on 12 June 2021.

Jade Thirlwall added, "It felt right to do an updated version of the song and give it a moment!"

[12] "Confetti" is a pop song written by Tom Barnes, Pete Kelleher, Ben Kohn, Camille Purcell, Uzoechi Emenike, Maegan Cottone, with Saweetie writing her verse on the remix version.

[13] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by BMG Rights Management, the song is written in the key of A minor.

[15] The song also promotes a focus on one's individual enjoyment of life, a lack of preoccupation with men and relationships, and an appreciation for what one has right here and now.

[16] Musically, the song is reminiscent of a compilation of early 2000s hits,[17] and encapsulates the feel-good tone of the album as a whole.

Pinnock went on to describe Saweetie's feature on the remix as "perfect" and added "She's definitely someone that we feel like embodies that [female empowerment].”[18] As "Confetti" was the group's first single as a trio, Robin Murray of Clash described the song as an "explosive return" and called it a "potential summer anthem".

[19] Sam Etzioni from Renowned for Sound says that the song "encapsulates the feel-good tone of the album as a whole" and stated "Its clubby vibe and self-sufficient lyrics make its title a simple-yet-effective name for a work which promotes a focus on one's individual enjoyment of life".

[18] DIY Magazine describes the song as "pure early-'00s compilation bangers, the sort that demand big-budget music videos.

"[21] The music video for "Confetti", directed by Samuel Douek, was filmed over two days at the FOLD nightclub in London, England on 30 and 31 March 2021 and released alongside the remix on 30 April 2021.

The video shows the members of Little Mix having a showdown with themselves as male doppelgängers; Pez (Perrie), Lenny (Leigh-Anne), and J-Dog (Jade).

Saweetie appears in the video, delivering her verse from a street outside the club while wearing a leopard print outfit.

'"[18] During the video shoot, Edwards and Pinnock did not want to prematurely announce their respective pregnancies, so when they both experienced exhaustion, backaches and injuries from the strenuous dance routines during rehearsals, Thirlwall faked the same symptoms at the same time in order to deflect suspicion from the dancers, choreographers and director and not tarnish the group's hard-working image.

The male counterparts awkwardly stand at a urinal together and make small talk about which members of Little Mix they would hook up with.

Saweetie then delivers her verse while standing outside the club looking at the cameras and wearing a leopard-print bra top and a matching skirt.

Speaking to Pop Buzz, multiple drag kings went on to express their disappointment for not being invited to take part in the video, "When I watched it, I was so excited to see people that I love and admire just thriving in their glory.

The remix version of "Confetti" featuring American rapper Saweetie, debuted at number one on the Official Big Top 40 on 2 May 2021.
