JADE describes the “nerdy” approach she took to writing Little Mix’s DNA:
“DNA was our second single. I remember writing it very well. I was only 18 or 19 and I’d just come out of college, so I was very much in student-mode. I literally drew a body and [labelled] all the words and terms of the body to figure out what lyrics to put in the song – which is very [nerdy] of me, but I've always been a bit like that. I treat everything like a school project!”
Perrie has shared a beautiful tribute to her dog Hatchi after he sadly passed away:
“My Hatchi 🤍
14 years with you, and somehow it still could never have been enough.
You weren’t just my dog. You were my fur baby, my little shadow, my companion and one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given.
You were there beside me through every chapter and every milestone of my life. Through the happiest moments and the hardest ones. You licked away my tears when I cried, made me laugh when I needed it most, and every morning you would look at me with that little smile that made me feel like I was your whole world.
And you were such a huge part of mine.
We lived so much life together. You came on tour with Little Mix, travelled the world with me, came on our holidays to Portugal, sat in the best restaurants eating steak like the little prince you were 😂🤍. Wherever life took me, you were part of it.
I hope you knew how loved you were, Hatchi. I hope you knew that everything I ever did for you was because I wanted to give you the happiest, fullest, most beautiful life I possibly could. You gave me 14 years of unconditional love, loyalty and memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
My heart is completely broken knowing I won’t see your little face in the morning, hear your footsteps, cuddle you or have you following me around anymore. The house and my heart already feel emptier without you.
Thank you for growing up with me. Thank you for being there for every version of me. Thank you for licking my tears, for making me smile, for loving me so completely and for being my best little friend for 14 years.
I would choose you in every lifetime.
Sleep peacefully my beautiful boy. I hopez wherever you are, there’s an endless supply of steaks waiting for you. 🤍
I’ll love you and miss you forever, Hatchi. My first baby, my fur baby, my little companion. A piece of my heart went with you. 🕊️🤍”
