There you have it! We can't wait...but the best news is that they'll be performing the single for the first time on the 16th October 2016 on The X Factor! You'll then be able to download the track straight after!

The Sony Music account which is supposed to have revealed the details is from China's microblogging site Weibo, which is like a fusion of Facebook and Twitter.

The account is verified, which makes this even more mysterious as Little Mix are signed to Syco/Colombia!

This new 'reveal' comes after one of the extras from their video shoot accidentally posted a little too much info on Instagram before quickly deleting it… but not before some eagle-eyed fans had managed to screen grab it.

Yep, according to Jesus Palacios, the girl’ new single will be called ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ – and the man himself bears a passing resemblance to a certain Mr Malik… so could this be the break up song we’ve been waiting for?

The girls have previously hinted that their next album will be about love – and that it would be “pretty obvious” who the tracks were about – and we already can’t wait!

But what do you think about this alleged new artwork?
