"Change Your Life"
Song

"Change Your Life" is a song recorded by British girl group Little Mix for their debut studio album, DNA (2012). It was written by Richard "Biff" Stannard, Tim Powell, Ash Howes and Little Mix, while its production was handled by Stannard and Powell. "Change Your Life" was written while the group were on The X Factor Tour and it was the first song composed for the album. It was written based on the group's experience on The X Factor and their fans. Syco serviced the song, the third single from DNA, to radio stations in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2013. It was released for digital download on 15 February 2013. The song has themes of girl power, perseverance and self-empowerment.

A mid-tempo pop power ballad, "Change Your Life" exhibits the influence of soul and urban contemporary music. Instrumentation includes tumbling R&B piano lines and a pulsating, driving backbeat. The contemporary sound provided by its instrumentation has similarities to several songs produced by Coldplay and Ryan Tedder. "Change Your Life" attracted mixed to positive reviews from critics, most of whom considered it a highlight on DNA, commending the group's harmonies and the song's inspirational lyrics. Some reviewers, however, felt that it was weak and poor alternative to the album's lead single, "Wings" (2012).

"Change Your Life" reached number 12 in Ireland and the United Kingdom, becoming Little Mix's fourth consecutive top 20 hit in both countries. It also became their second top ten hit in Australia, peaking at number 8. "Change Your Life" was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. The accompanying music video was released on 31 January 2013. Filmed backstage at the group's DNA Tour and on their tour bus, it shows the group bonding with each other. Met with mixed reviews, critics likened it to Spice Girls' 1997 music video, "Mama". Little Mix have performed "Change Your Life" on television shows Dancing on Ice, The Graham Norton Show and This Morning and during their DNA Tour (2013).

Background

"['Change Your Life' is] the first proper song we wrote together and I think you can really tell that when you listen to the lyrics and stuff. We had just come out of The X Factor, we were thinking about that and thinking about the fans, so it's quite an important one. I think it's quite uplifting."

—Jade Thirlwall talking to Robert Copsey of Digital Spy about the song.[1]

After winning the eighth series of The X Factor, Little Mix worked with Richard "Biff" Stannard, Tim Powell and Ash Howes on their debut single, "Cannonball",[2] which went on to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart in December 2011.[3] The group then embarked on The X Factor Tour in January 2012, while on tour the group met up with Stannard, Powell and Howes to develop songs for their debut album, DNA.[4] The first song they developed was "Change Your Life" based on the group's experience on The X Factor and their fans.[1] It was recorded at the Biffco Studios in Brighton, England.[5] In a January 2012 interview with the Daily Mirror, Perrie Edwards was quoted as saying, "We're going a bit urban, old school with a bit of pop. We wanna bring back old school harmonies. And Jesy beat-boxes and Leigh-Anne raps, so we're trying out different things".[6] It was written as a song with an uplifting message.[1] Jade Thirlwall told Robert Copsey of Digital Spy that the group loved the message of the song and that they were looking forward to releasing it.[1] Serban Ghenea mixed the track at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Tom Coyne was responsible for the song's mastering.[5]

Little Mix premiered "Change Your Life" before the release of DNA, performing it live for the first time on Children in Need 2012 on 16 November 2012.[7] The group were set to appear on Google+ on 12 December 2012, but due to technical problems, they had to cancel it.[8] To keep their fans happy, the artwork and release of "Change Your Life" as the third single from DNA was revealed instead.[8] Little Mix's management posted the information on the group's Facebook, writing, "Sad news Mixers! The girls can't do the Hangout today because of technical problems...BUT they have a little surprise for you instead...the new 'Change Your Life' cover AND they'll be doing a Twitter Q&A at 6pm! Not such sad news after all! Mixers HQ x".[8] Syco solicited the single to radio stations in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2013.[9] A digital EP was then released in Ireland and the United Kingdom on 15 February 2013. The EP features remixed versions of "Change Your Life" by Bimbo Jones and Sonny J, as well as an edited single mix of the song.[10][11]

Vicky Newman from Shields Gazette called "Change Your Life" a brilliant song, reasoning: "Leigh-Anne's urban roots match perfectly with Jesy's soulful voice, and the harmonies from Jade and Perrie transform it into a hit".[13] Nicky Diaz from The Miami Hurricane said that the song lets the group's vocals and harmonies shine, calling it a stand-out track on DNA.[22] A reporter from 4Music described the song as "very dramatic, very serious, lovely stuff".

Music video

Background

"They decided to film [Little Mix] behind the scenes during the tour and I think it's a great idea. It shows that they're just normal girls and tells the fans they can achieve their dreams if they work for them. I didn't realise I was going to be on it, so I got a bit of a shock when I saw it, but I think the video is brilliant."

—Debbie Dufty, mother of Perrie Edwards, talking to the Shields Gazette about the music video.[44]

On 13 December 2012, the group posted a lyric video of "Change Your Life" on their Vevo account.[45] It was originally speculated that the music video would have visuals reflecting the theme of self-belief and overcoming self-doubt.[46] On 15 January 2013, Jade Thirlwall told Robert Copsey of Digital Spy that the music video will showcase Little Mix's individual personalities, "We always want our videos to be the best we can do," Thirlwall explained.[47] She also revealed that the video will be more mellow and real than the group's previous music videos.[47] "We're just chilling and portraying the song and performing it how it should be; there are no fireworks or backflips, it's just us delivering a great song," Thirlwall added.[47] Little Mix wanted to showcase who they are with the video by centering it more around themselves than in previous music videos.[47] The official music video for "Change Your Life" was set to be released on 18 January 2013,[47] but it premiered on Vevo on 31 January instead.[44] It was filmed in two days. Scenes from the video were filmed at the Rhyl Pavilion Theatre in Rhyl when the group were performing a show there as part of their DNA Tour at the end of January in 2013. A spokesman for the theatre said, "We are very proud to be featured as part of Little Mix's 'Change Your Life' video and feel it's a huge achievement for the Rhyl Pavilion".[48] The video features cameos from Jade Thirlwall's mother, Norma Thirlwall, and Perrie Edwards' mother, Debbie Dufty.[44] Norma Thirlwall said, "After a while, everyone forgot the cameras were there, so it looks really natural".[44] Following a product placement deal brokered by Starcom MediaVest's content division, Liquid Thread, the video also sees the Samsung Galaxy features exclusivity in its technology category.[49] Andrew Wynd, head of media, corporate marketing for Samsung Electronics, opined, "It has been fantastic to be able to seamlessly showcase some of [the Samsung Galaxy's] functionality in the Little Mix video."[49] Rupert Britton, content strategy director for Liquid Thread also commented on the deal:

We are thrilled with the brand integration in the new Little Mix video 'Change Your Life'. It's about aspiring to change your life for the better, and Samsung and the Galaxy camera fit very naturally with this ethos.[49]
