"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. 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.

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.
