Confetti is the sixth studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 6 November 2020 by RCA Records. It was largely recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, which interfered with the promotion plan for the album. Group member Jesy Nelson announced her departure from the group in December 2020. Confetti is their first to be released under RCA Records, following their departure from Syco Music. Confetti is a pop and R&B record that lyrically addresses themes of self-acceptance, self-worth, freedom, and independence.
Upon release, it received generally positive reviews from critics, becoming the group's highest rated album to date on Metacritic. Critics described it as a solid pop album and praised its production. It spawned four singles; "Break Up Song", the album's lead single peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart, while the second single "Holiday" reached number fifteen. "Sweet Melody" was released as the album's third single and became their fifth number one in the UK. A remix of the title track, featuring American rapper Saweetie, was released as the final single, reaching number nine on the UK Charts.
Confetti is the group's most successful album in terms of top ten charts placements globally. It debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling album of 2020 by a British act. It topped the Irish Albums Chart, and reached the top ten in various countries. To promote the album, Little Mix embarked on The Confetti Tour in 2022, which visited the UK and Ireland. The tour was commercially successful, grossing over $6 million dollars within six shows and received positive critical acclaim from critics.
