Get Weird is the third studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 6 November 2015 through Syco Music and Columbia Records.

[3] Get Weird was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with Rolling Stone listing it as one of the best pop albums of 2015.

Its subject matter sees Little Mix approach more mature themes with lyrics that address a variety of topics including feminism, self love, sexual relationships, breakups, friendships, and independence.

It also reached number thirteen in the United States, making Little Mix the first girl group from the UK to have their first three albums debut within the top fifteen of the Billboard 200.

An extension of the tour visiting North America was scheduled for September and October, but these dates were cancelled due to the process of recording their next album.

In 2021, the group revealed that they had already recorded enough tracks for a full-length album in 2014, but scrapped all but two or three songs, believing that the quality of the material was not good enough for a release.

They had put pressure on themselves to make a great third album, but believed that their decision to scrap the original sessions could lead to them getting dropped by their label Syco.

On 15 July 2015, the group officially announced on Twitter that their third studio album would be titled Get Weird, and would be available for pre-order the next day.

[10] Shortly before the album's release, it was revealed that they were forced to change some of the lyrical content on some of their songs, namely "Love Me Like You" and "A.D.I.D.A.S.

[6] On 14 May 2015, they announced the song's name was "Black Magic", after the single's cover art surfaced on music identification service Shazam.

[25] It began on 13 March 2016 in Cardiff, Wales at the Motorpoint Arena and continued throughout the UK, Asia, Australia and Europe, concluding with a rearranged gig in Belfast on 2 July.

[29] AllMusic described the album as "ear-poppingly catchy" and said, "There's a kinetic energy to many of the tracks on Get Weird that brings to mind the arty '80s dance-pop of bands like Yello crossed with the crisp, bluesy soulfulness of Robert Palmer", and concluded that "ultimately, Little Mix's stylish, decade-blending synergy works, and Get Weird ends up being a lot of fun".

[1] NME noted that "the group's personality and powerhouse vocals light up Get Weird, a hook-filled and witty collection of unapologetic pop.

With the exception of a moody trap ballad called 'Lightning', this consistently impressive third album is never as inventive as, say, Girls Aloud in their pomp, but its tune count isn't far behind...

"[37] The Guardian stated that Little Mix "spend much of their third album skipping through the cute corridors of 90s tween pop rather than angling for austere adulthood" which the reviewer found to be initially disappointing, but concluding that "business is largely buoyant".
