In their latest single, “Change Your Life,” Little Mix sings about taking charge of your own life. They think that you should be yourself and not worry about what others might think or say.

This week’s Karaoke Korner takes a look at synonyms of the word change.

In brief: Formed during the UK X Factor show in 2011, girl group Little Mix is comprised of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall. While the four singers individually failed to make it past the boot camp round of the show, the judges decided to give them another chance in the group category. After winning the contest, Little Mix released their first single, “Cannonball.” The single reached No. 1 on the UK Singles, Scottish and Irish IRMA charts. Their debut album, DNA, was released last November. The album peaked at No. 3 on both the UK and Irish Albums charts, and features the pop hits “Wings,” “DNA” and “Change Your Life.”

“Change Your Life”

By Little Mix

She catches her reflection
Then she throws the mirror to the floor
Her image is distorted screaming
Is it worth it anymore, no
Are you scared of the things
That they might put you through
Does it make you wanna
Hide the inner you

You’re not the only one
So let them criticise
You’re untouchable
When you realise

Chorus

Change, change your life
Take it all
We’re gonna stick together
Know we’ll get through it all
Change, change your life
Take it all
You’re gonna use it to become
What you’ve always known
Become what you’ve always known

His body starts to flicker
Like nobody wants to know his name
Just another soul with feelings
But nobody’s there to feel the pain, no

They can rip you
Bring you down
Down to their size
But they will never get to
The heart you hold inside

(Chorus)

You got a right to show the world
Something never seen
We wanna hear you scream it out
You’re not alone

(Chorus)
