Salute is the second studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 8 November 2013 through Syco Music and Columbia Records.^[4] The album was mostly co-written by Little Mix, who stated that they were more involved in the development of this album compared to their debut album DNA. The album was preceded by the lead single "Move", and included two further singles, "Little Me", and "Salute". It is also one of two studio albums by the group to not feature any collaborations.

Musically, the album sees Little Mix approach a more R&B-influenced sound while retaining their previous pop sound of their debut album. Salute also sees the quartet experiment more with 90s production sounds, with elements of hip-hop, teen-pop, and electronic dance music influences from the 2000s. The album contains lyrics focused around themes such as girl power, mental health, self-love, breakups, insecurity, and female empowerment.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, with some praising the group for their vocal harmonies. Salute charted in nineteen music markets, including reaching the top ten in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, and the USA. It was named as one of the best-selling girl group albums in the UK between 1994 and 2019. To promote the album, the group embarked on The Salute Tour in 2014. A planned North American leg was cancelled as the group opted instead to work on their next album, Get Weird.
