"Power" is a song released by British girl group Little Mix, featuring British rapper Stormzy. It was released as the fourth and final single from Little Mix's fourth studio album Glory Days. The remix version appears on Glory Days: The Platinum Edition, the reissue of Glory Days.[2][3][4][5]

Cited as a "girl power and gay anthem",[6] "Power" lyrically addresses sexism and female supremacy. The music video, which features drag queens, holds a political message in reference of marches being held for "gender equality" and protests.[7] The song was commercially successful, peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the group's eleventh top ten single there. In 2018, the song was chosen by WWE as the official theme song for their first ever women's Royal Rumble.[8] In July 2022, the song received renewed attention after going viral on the video-sharing social platform TikTok.[9]
