Secret Love Song

Last updated

"Secret Love Song" is a slow, pop ballad. It consists of a pounding bass and melancholic strings. [7] Derulo's vocal uses vibrato and auto-tune, [8] [9] as he sings the song's second verse. [10] Nelson sings the high note during its bridge. [11]

Lyrically, "Secret Love Song" details unrequited and forbidden love. [12] Edwards said the lyrics are about "being with someone and you want to scream it from the rooftops but you have to hold it in". [13] According to Derulo, his verse serves as a "twist" in the song, discussing his personal experience of having an affair: "I told a true story about this girl that I am really into but she has a boyfriend but we still do our thing." [4] Some commentators have interpreted the song as representing the struggles of LGBT couples who cannot display affection in public and has been referred to as an unintentional gay anthem by fans of the group. This sentiment was shared by Jade Thirlwall who reacted positively to gay fans of the group interpreting that message in the song. [14] [15] The song has also been cited as helping people to deal with their own sexuality and feelings. [16]

Release

The group revealed the song's title on 7 September 2015, on Instagram. [17] On 13 October 2015, they announced Derulo's involvement on Twitter, ahead of Get Weird's release the following month. [18] The song was first made available as part of the album when Get Weird was released on 6 November 2015. On 5 December 2015, Little Mix confirmed on Twitter that "Secret Love Song" would be the third single from the album in the UK and Ireland. [19] They unveiled the single's cover art on Instagram on 8 January 2016. [20]

Reception

Critical response

"Secret Love Song" has received mixed reviews from music critics. Popjustice wrote that the song would be better without Derulo, but called it "a big ballad" with an "amazing" chorus and gave it a rating of seven out of ten. [10] Brad O'Mance from the website disliked Derulo's "dulcet/song-ruining tones". [21] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy said the group matured emotionally on the track and described it as a "sweeping slowie [...] that soars highest on the perfectly polished chorus". [22]

Cameron Adams of the Herald Sun described the song as "uber cheese". [23] Harriet Gibsone from The Guardian viewed the song as one of Get Weird's "odd moments of mediocrity". [24] Chuck Campbell of the Knoxville News Sentinel felt the song tried too hard. [25] Nick Levine from NME regarded the song as "melodramatic" and "not as entertaining" as the rest of the album. [26] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times said: "Their manufactured origins surface on 'Secret Love Song', a by-the-numbers ballad watermarked with [Simon] Cowell's foreboding features." [27] Andy Gill of The Independent criticised Derulo's "ghastly, tremulous vibrato" on the track, calling it "by far, the worst [irritation]" on Get Weird. [8] Matthew Horton of Virgin Media opined that "Secret Love Song" failed to help the album "catch fire", dismissing it as "syrupy" and "an unrequired duet". [28]

Chart performance

"Secret Love Song" debuted at number 66 on the UK Singles Chart on 8 January 2016, selling 8,635 units. [29] The following week, it sold 14,964 units and rose to number 34. [30] It peaked at number six, making it their eighth top-ten single. On 1 April 2016, the song was certified gold in the UK for selling over 400,000 copies. The song peaked at number 16 in Australia [31] and has been certified double platinum for selling over 140,000 copies. [32] The song has since become one of the group's best selling singles to date and one of the best-selling girl group singles in the United Kingdom between 1994 and 2019. [33]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Secret Love Song" was directed by Frank Borin. [34] and was filmed at London Bridge [35] and Tower Bridge. [34] The music video was originally set to feature a same sex couple, a straight couple and an interracial couple. [36] Thirlwall previously revealed on Twitter on 5 November 2015 that the group pictured the video to depict the struggles of an LGBT couple. [37] Stomp Models required the couples to be relatable and emotional with "a cool or hip factor", and to act with a sense of longing and fulfilment. [38] Thirlwall previously mentioned that the music video is "very different" from the group's previous visuals. [39]

When the video was released on 3 February 2016, six days later than expected, all the scenes featuring the same sex couple, the opposite sex couple and the interracial couple had been removed from the final cut which featured only connected scenes of the singers appearing solo and isolated from each other during the singing of the song. On its release, only British fans could access the video, before worldwide viewing was enabled a few days later. [40] Thirlwall later expressed her annoyance at Syco for scrapping the LGBT narrative-led storylines from the final cut of the video. [41]

Live performances

Little Mix and Derulo performed "Secret Love Song" for the first time live as part of their set-list at Capital's Jingle Bell Ball on 5 December 2015. [42] [43] They opened with "Salute" which was followed by "Move" and "Love Me Like You". [44] Prior to singing "Secret Love Song", Little Mix introduced the track and said "We have an exclusive for you. We know you'll enjoy a cheeky little surprise. This song is going to be our next single. We hope you enjoy it." [42] They concluded with "Wings" and "Black Magic". [42] [44] In 2016 they joined Derulo on his 2016 arena tour at The O2 Arena on 5 February 2016 to perform "Secret Love Song". [45]

On 12 February, Little Mix and Derulo performed the song on The Graham Norton Show . [46] The group also performed the solo version regularly during The Get Weird Tour (2016), [47] The Glory Days Tour (2017), [48] as the support act for Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman Tour the same year, [49] the Summer Hits Tour (2018), [50] LM5: The Tour (2019), [51] and The Confetti Tour (2022). On The Get Weird Tour in 2016, the group dedicated the song to the Orlando nightclub Victims after a mass shooting took place at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. [52] In 2018, the group performed the song during a show in Dubai while displaying a rainbow flag; homosexuality is illegal in the UAE. [53] [54] On 7 November 2020, Little Mix performed the second part of the song during the final of Little Mix The Search. [55]
