LM5 (album)

LM5 is the fifth studio album released by British girl group Little Mix, on 16 November 2018 through Syco Music and Columbia Records. Described as a pop and R&B record, while incorporating elements of reggae pop, trap-pop, hip-hop, 90s, and reggaeton sounds. It features collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Sharaya J, and Kamille, while the deluxe edition of the album features a previously released single with Cheat Codes. It was also the group's last album to be recorded with Syco Music, after parting ways with the label days prior to its release.

LM5 marked the first time that Little Mix was listed as executive producers. It has been described as a feminist album, with lyrics that were focused around women's rights, MeToo movement, sexism, feminism, sexuality, and body positivity. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise drawn towards the album's exploration of other genres, maturity in lyrics, and their vocal performance. It has since been hailed by fans as the group's best album. The albums lead single "Woman Like Me" with Minaj peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top ten in seven other countries. It won British Video of the Year, at the 39th Brit Awards. Its final single "Think About Us", with Ty Dolla Sign reached number twenty-two in the UK.

The album was aimed at an older audience, but was still commercially successfully but did not match the same success compared to their fourth album Glory Days. Despite label issues which interfered with the promotion rollout, it peaked at number three on the UK Albums Charts, making Little Mix the first girl group to have five consecutive top-five studio albums in the UK. It also reached the top ten in eight music markets and became their first album to appear on the charts in South Korea. To promote the album, the group aired exclusive performances from Apple Music Presents: Little Mix, Live From London, and performed at shows including, Strictly Come Dancing UK, MTV Europe Music Awards, and Brit Awards.
