Salute is the second studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 8 November 2013 through Syco Music and Columbia Records.

Salute also sees the quartet experiment more with 90s production sounds, with elements of hip-hop, teen-pop, and electronic dance music influences from the 2000s.

The album contains lyrics focused on themes such as girl power, mental health, self-love, breakups, insecurity, and female empowerment.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, with some praising the group for their vocal harmonies.

Salute charted in nineteen music markets, including reaching the top ten in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the USA.

A planned North American leg was cancelled as the group opted instead to work on their next album, Get Weird.

[5] Group member Jesy Nelson added: "I personally want to put a lot more dancey stuff in there.

[7] The group sang "Move" for the first time live at Wembley Stadium on 9 October for Big Gig 2013 for the Girlguiding organisation.

[8] On 20 October, Little Mix travelled to Australia, where they performed the songs "Wings", "DNA" and "Change Your Life" at an autograph signing.

[11] The album's lead single, "Move", made its radio premiere on 23 September 2013 and was released on 3 November 2013.

A North American extension of this tour was scheduled for September and October but was later cancelled due to the process of recording their next album.

For the single, Little Mix worked with R&B producer Nathan Duvall and Maegan Cottone, the girls' vocal coach.

On 21 November 2013, Little Mix revealed via a YouTube video message that they had decided to release it as the second single because it held a lot of meaning to them and was written with their fans in mind.

[26] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the album five out of five stars, noting an improvement over DNA (2012), stating, "the group have grown both musically and in confidence, paving the way for them to step out on to that world stage once again and really make their mark", while drawing comparisons to American girl group Destiny's Child.

[39] On the US Billboard 200, Salute debuted at number six, selling over 43,000 copies in its first week, becoming the group's second consecutive top ten studio album in the country.

Salute charted in thirteen other countries, including reaching the top twenty in Croatia, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain.
