Sweet Melody
2020 single by Little Mix
"Sweet Melody" is a song by British girl group Little Mix, released through RCA Records on 23 October 2020, as the third single from the group's sixth studio album Confetti (2020). Little Mix worked with notable names and frequent collaborators Tayla Parx, Morten Ristorp, Robin Frid, Brian Garcia, and MNEK, who co-written and co-produced the track. It has since been regarded as one of the group's best releases.
"Sweet Melody" was met with widespread acclaim from music critics who described it as a girl group classic with some citing it as a stand out single amongst their previous releases and lead single material from the group's sixth album Confetti. Furthermore, praise was given towards the song's production; describing it as "perfectly structured" with Billboard naming it as one of the best releases of 2020. It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart, in January 2021, becoming the group's fifth number one single in the UK and their first since "Shout Out to My Ex" was released in 2016. It reached the top ten in five other territories.
An accompanying choreography-based music video was released and features individual and group shots of the members performing dance routines, filmed in an abandoned warehouse. It would mark the group's last music video with Jesy Nelson, who left the group in the same year. The video was later nominated for "Best Pop Video" at the 2021 UK Music Video Awards.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2020 single by Little Mix” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q100711723. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2021 and 2016.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
