"Touch" is a song by British girl group Little Mix. The song was originally released as a promotional single before being announced as the second single from the group's fourth studio album Glory Days (2016).[1] A remix of the song featuring American rapper Kid Ink is featured on the album's reissue Glory Days: The Platinum Edition.

"Touch" is a dance pop track with elements of tropical house. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise given to its empowering message about being in tune with your sexuality and feeling confident in your own skin.[2] It has since been cited as a gay anthem, and a fan favourite among their discography.[3] It reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's tenth top-ten single in the country.[4]

The song also reached the top ten in Ireland and the top twenty in Australia and on the Mexico Ingles Airplay chart, and charted in ten other countries including Hungary and New Zealand. It has since been certified triple platinum in the United Kingdom, double platinum in Brazil and Australia, and has received one platinum and five gold music certifications in other countries. The song was nominated for British Single of the Year and Best British Video of the Year at the 2018 Brit Awards.[5]
