The quartet take a swipe at their former boss Simon Cowell on Not a Pop Song, referencing their departure from his label, SYCO, in 2018. “I don’t do what Simon says, get the message cuz it’s read,” the girls sing. “That’s just life it never plays fair.
Said to follow any dream, be a puppet on a string. Works for you but that isn’t me.” In the words of the Dancing Diva of Texas, Alyssa Edwards, “The shade is KNEE deep.” Not a Pop Song is the third single from Little Mix’s sixth collection, Confetti, after Break Up Song – which became their historic 15th top ten single in the UK – and Holiday, which peaked at number 15.
