The single received acclaim from music critics upon release, who praised it for its catchy sound and upbeat tempo, and comparisons were made with the songs from their debut album, DNA (2012).
"Black Magic" is a teen pop, and dance pop song with influences of 80s pop music. It topped the UK Singles Chart, the first Little Mix single to do so since "Wings" in 2012 and the first song by an all-female group to reach number one since Icona Pop released "I Love It" in 2013. [2] It remained at number one for three consecutive weeks, becoming the first song by a girl group to spend more than a single week at number one since "About You Now" by Sugababes in 2007. It was named the fifth-biggest selling girl group single in the UK by the Official Charts Company. [3]
Outside of the United Kingdom, it peaked within the top ten in six other music markets and charted in 16 additional countries. On the Billboard Hot 100, the single peaked at number 67, becoming the group's highest-charting single to date in the US. As of 2021, the song has been certified triple platinum in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and gold or higher in ten other countries, including diamond in Brazil. The song was nominated for Choice Love Song at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards, and for British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year at the 2016 Brit Awards. Billboard ranked the song as one of the 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time. In October 2023, it became the first music video by a British girl group to reach one billion views on YouTube and made Little Mix the third girl group to reach this milestone.
"We always like to do something that people wouldn't expect us to come out with. The Salute campaign was a lot darker and a bit more R&B [...] that's why it took so long because we were looking for something that would surprise people. We wanted to change the game a bit, and 'Black Magic' is very pop."
—Jade Thirlwall talking to Digital Spy about the song. [4]
On 4 July 2014, Little Mix announced that they would cancel the US leg of their second concert tour, The Salute Tour, to focus on recording their third album. [5] The group said that the new album would be "stronger" and "better" than their two previous albums, DNA (2012) and Salute (2013). [6] [7] In February 2015, Little Mix revealed that they had chosen the lead single from their third studio album and also said that it has a "whole new sound" compared to previous material. [8] They described the song as "a risk" and said that it is completely different from what they have done before. [9] Album delays were attributed to the fact that Little Mix's original output was scrapped because they thought "they could do better". [10] [11]
The song's title was accidentally revealed by member Leigh-Anne Pinnock's mother on Twitter on 21 April 2015 when she tweeted "#MixersAreExcitedForBlackMagic yesss mixers it's the new single and it's fantastic".

"Yes, we have [filmed a music video] and we're excited. [...] So basically, it's completely different from whatever we've done before. We're acting this time, there's no dancing whatsoever and we all play different characters."
—Jesy Nelson talking to KISS FM about the music video. [57]
On 21 May 2015, Little Mix posted the audio video of the song on their Vevo account. [27] The music video for the song was directed by Director X, and was filmed at the University of Southern California on 22–23 May 2015 in Los Angeles. Talking about the video, Jesy Nelson also said in an interview in Capital FM that "We [the group] are acting which is exciting! They're like little mini movies which is exciting". [58] Jade Thirlwall also said that "It's nothing like we've done before and it's like a movie". [59] Just one day before its release, Leigh-Anne Pinnock posted on Twitter: "OMG!

[61] Following the video's release, the group posted several tweets on their account reacting to the fans' opinions on the video. [62]
The video opens with Little Mix, who are introduced as nerds. On their way out of school, they believe an attractive male student to be waving at them, only to be shoved away by a popular female student. At the local library, a spellbook falls on Jade's head. That night, the girls use the book to gain magical powers, and they undergo magical makeovers to become Little Mix. The girls then enact a number of pranks on their classmates: they make the girl from the previous day constantly flatulate, cause girls to fall in love with a geeky boy, and transform a classroom into a dance party. [63]

The acclaim for the music video was not universal. Mace Entertainment criticised the message of the video, saying that "the general message that we get from the video is that if you want people to like you, shorten the length of your clothes, plump up your hair, wear more makeup, and embarrass other people". [70] The group then addressed the negative response on the video, saying "People are saying how it's a bad message, but really, it's a great message because what we're trying to say is with a little bit of confidence, that's all you need, and that's all we ever try to say in the video". [71] The video peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks on 27 June 2015. [72]
