Wings

"Wings" is the debut single by Little Mix. It was released on April 16, 2012, through Syco and Columbia, along with a music video. It was intended for the group's debut studio album With You, but was scrapped due to thematic differences from the rest of the songs. It was originally released as the album's lead single, but the position was replaced with "With You".

Background
Shortly after Little Mix won the eighth series of The X Factor, singer-songwriters Gary Barlow and Biff Stannard were rumoured to be writing songs for the group's debut studio album.

On January 15, 2012, during an interview backstage, the group confirmed that they had been writing material for their debut album. They also revealed that plans to release their next single in March of that year were underway.

On March 24, the group announced that the release of the single would be delayed until April in a livestream. They also revealed the title to be "Wings", and that they would be performing the song live on April 9.

On April 9, a week before the song was set to release, the group performed the song live at T4 on the Beach that aired live on Channel 4.

On April 16, the song was released as the initial lead single with its accompanying music video.

On July 22, in an interview, the group confirmed that the song had been scrapped from the album, due to "[the song] not fitting the theme".
