Get Lost In The Music With Little Mix's "No More Sad Songs"
Little Mix - "No More Sad Songs"

Little Mix treated their fans to some exciting news last Wednesday: the release of their next single from their latest album, Glory Days.

“No More Sad Songs” dropped Thursday night, and this reworked version of one of the album’s stronger tracks features guest vocals from rapper Machine Gun Kelly.


The song sounds even more amazing hearing it a second time around, and the remixed parts of the track make the deep pulses and beats of the track even more pleasurable to listen to. Kelly is a welcome addition to the track, and his verse goes well with the composition of the song.

The only downside to Kelly’s appearance is the removal of Jesy Nelson’s bridge of the original song that flows right in Perrie Edward’s wails on the final chorus, but it is understandable as to why this decision was made so as to keep the song from being too long.


The original version of "No More Sad Songs" appeared on the group's latest album, Glory Days.

“No More Sad Song’s” strength is not in its musical composition, but rather, its lyrical content. Driven to the point of madness with thoughts of an ex-lover, the narrator(s) turn to a night on the town in order to forget, getting lost in the loud music and the company they find along the way.

Too often, songs about love fall at opposite extremes of a spectrum: either the singer is so in love with the object of their affection they cannot even put into words how deep their feelings go, or the singer is buried beneath their despair and regret as they reflect on what caused their romance to fall apart.

“No More Sad Songs” seems to find itself right in the middle. Yes, the person singing is sad, we can tell they are troubled by regret, but it’s not how the entire song goes. Instead, we find ourselves getting lost in the music with the ones singing, and all worries fade away, even if it’s just for a moment - just don’t play anything that could make it all come rushing back, Mr. DJ.

It is important to remember that sometimes it is 100% okay to not want to think about something. Obviously, problems have to be faced eventually, but it is perfectly fine to take a minute and get lost in a distraction. And remember, too much gushing over romance and too much wallowing in heartbreak is good for no one.

So let Little Mix help you say “forget it” and let loose for three minutes and forty-five seconds with a song that’s not too sad to get down with.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
