Wings has also amassed almost 55 million plays on Spotify.

The video was shot in a warehouse with the girls performing in front of a pink Union Jack. It reached No. 1 in the UK.

The songs lyrics were inspired by the first week of live shows of The X Factor (UK) where Little Mix were the favorites to be eliminated and felt disheartened by hearing the odds in the show's green room.

At the time of release, the single was given a warm welcome by music critics including fromThe Guardian, who said that the band could win "where other X Factor winners have failed". The Guardian also said the single had "everything you'd want to hear in a pop song in 2012".
