Little Mix talk about giving up 'Pretty Girls': 'Britney wanted it'

Girl group Little Mix have opened up about how their song 'Pretty Girls' ended up being recorded by pop superstar Britney Spears and rapper Iggy Azalea. 

Jade Thirlwall explained to Britain's The Sun newspaper that they thought 'Pretty Girls' was a great track, but they ended up feeling that it wasn't a Little Mix song so offered it up to other artists and were blown away when it was snapped up by Spears:

“We wrote it with Maegan Cottone, who we’ve written a lot of this album with. We loved the song but it wasn’t really for us so we put it out there and, lo and behold, Britney wanted it.”

As previously reported, songstress Jesy Nelson confessed to the paper that she and the other girls recorded an entire album's worth of songs that they ended up scrapping because they weren't completely happy with what they had come up with:

"We’ve been away a while because we wrote an album, sat with the record label and we thought, ‘Nope, it’s not good enough’. We recorded a whole album but we’re perfectionists and knew we could do better. So we scrapped it and started again.”
