Little Mix explain why Always Be Together means so much to them

By Sam Prance

'Always Be Together' topped the UK iTunes chart shortly after 4Ever Little Mix became the Number 1 trending topic on Twitter.

Little Mix fans are paying tribute to Jesy Nelson and they've just got 'Always Be Together' to Number 1 in honour of the star.

On Monday (Dec 14), Little Mix announced that Jesy Nelson had left the girl group. In a statement, remaining members Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards wrote: "After an amazing 9 years together Jesy has made the decision to leave Little Mix. This is an incredibly sad time for all of us but we are fully supportive of Jesy. We love her very much."

Jesy then released her own statement. She explained: "The truth is recently being in the band has taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations really hard." Jesy also thanked the Little Mix fans, as well as Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie for creating "some of the most amazing memories" with her.

Now, Little Mix fans have rallied together to get one of Jesy's favourite Little Mix songs to Number 1 and they've done it.

What do Little Mix's 'Always Be Together' lyrics mean?

'Always Be Together' is Track 4 on Little Mix's debut album DNA. The song is about Little Mix's friendship and how they will "always be together", even if they're separated by space and time. In the chorus, the band sings: "We'll always be together, don't you worry / I'll always be by your side, don't you worry / The circle will never end / Just know that we'll meet again."

In the first verse, Leigh-Anne also sings: "We are friends for life, hold that deep inside / Let this be your drive to survive," and Jesy later adds: "Find me in the sky, dancing with the moon and night / Your heartbeat is disguised as my lullaby." The girls performed the song nightly as part of their DNA tour setlist and spoke about how much it means to them and their bond.

If that weren't emotional enough, Jesy has repeatedly opened up about how much she loves 'Always Be Together'. Just last year a fan asked her "What's your fave song from DNA?" and she replied: "We’ll always be together!" Discussing it in 2012, she said: "Little Mix are always gonna be together. We're not gonna go anywhere. This is what we love to do."

Always Be Together

Yesterday (Dec 17), Mixers all around the world got "4 Ever Little Mix" trending on Twitter in honour of Jesy and it became the Number 1 topic worldwide with over 150,000 tweets. At the same time, they all began campaigning to get 'Always Be Together' to Number 1 on iTunes and it's since topped 16 charts and hit 5 on the worldwide iTunes chart.

Jesy has since thanked fans for their support. Today (Dec 17), she posted an Instagram story writing: "I just want to say thank you so much to everyone of you that has shown me so much love and support over the past few days. Some of your messages have made me feel so emotional and I appreciate it so much and love you all."

Throughout Jesy's time in Little Mix, she's been incredibly honest about the trolling she's faced and how it's affected her mental health. Her award-winning documentary Odd One Out is essential viewing. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours and are sending all our love and support to her, as well as Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie.
