DNA is the debut studio album by British girl group Little Mix, released on 19 November 2012 through Syco Music and Columbia Records. The recording stages for the album took place between December 2011 and concluded in September 2012. Throughout the recording process, the group worked with several producers, with the album being largely co-written by them and other girl group members, Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud, Shaznay Lewis of All Saints and T-Boz of TLC. The group stated that they were involved in the development of the album as much as possible.

When released, the album was met with praise from music critics. The album is primarily a mixture of pop and R&B records, with influences from dance-pop, pop rock and hip hop which is found on other songs. The album's lyrical content addresses the themes of heartbreak, empowerment, relationships, friendships, and mental health. The album's lead single, "Wings", reached number one in the UK and Ireland as well as charting in Australia, New Zealand, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium, Canada and the US. The album's second single "DNA", peaked at number three in the UK and was followed up with two other singles "Change Your Life" and a remix of "How Ya Doin'?" featuring American rapper Missy Elliott, both of which reached the top 20 in the UK.

On the UK Albums DNA, peaked at number three and sold over 234,000 copies by the end of 2012.[4] The album peaked at number two in Czech Republic, and peaked within the top ten of the Irish, Italian, Scottish, Australian, Norwegian Albums Charts. In the United States, DNA reached number four on the US Billboard 200, making them the first British girl group since the Spice Girls to reach the top ten, and later breaking the record for the having the highest chart entry for a debut album by British girl group, breaking a record previously held by the Spice Girls' debut album Spice (1996).[5] It also had the highest chart entry there for female group’s debut album since Danity Kane in 2006.[6][7]

Background

In 2011, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson individually auditioned successfully as soloists for the eighth series of the UK version of The X Factor in front of judges Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow, Tulisa and Kelly Rowland. However, during the bootcamp stage, the judges regrouped them into a four-piece girl group, sending them through to judges' houses in the groups category. The group, rechristened Little Mix, were mentored by Tulisa and reached the live shows, and survived the public vote each week without ever being in the bottom two.[8] During the final on 11 December 2011, Little Mix were announced as the winners, becoming the first ever group to win the show, with their winners' single being a cover of Damien Rice's song "Cannonball".[9][10]

On 25 January 2012, the group made an appearance at the National Television Awards, and performed the En Vogue song "Don't Let Go (Love)". They also accompanied X Factor judges Barlow and Tulisa on stage to receive the Best Talent Show award won by the programme.[11] During an interview backstage, the group confirmed that they themselves had been writing material for their debut album, but had not yet received any input from Barlow, and that plans to release their next single in March of that year were underway. It was announced, shortly after, that the release of the single had been delayed, and would now not be released until August.[12]

On 30 May 2012, the group announced through a live stream via Twitcam that their new single would be called "Wings", and a short snippet would premiere on Channel 4 that week after being played at their filming session for Alan Carr: Chatty Man. The group performed the single for the first time at the T4 on the Beach concert on 1 July 2012.[13] "Wings" received its official premiere on BBC Radio 1 on 2 July 2012 and was released on 24 August 2012, reaching number one in the UK[14] and Ireland as well as charting in Australia, New Zealand, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Belgium, Canada and the US. The second single, "DNA", was released on 9 November 2012, peaking at number three in the UK. The album's third single, "Change Your Life", was released on 15 February 2013 and a remix of "How Ya Doin'?" featuring American rapper Missy Elliott was released on 15 April 2013 as the fourth and final single from the album, bot of which reached the top 20 in the UK.[15]

On 17 September, the album's artwork was unveiled via the group's official Facebook page, which also confirmed that the album's second single, "DNA", would premiere on radio on 1 October and would be officially released on 12 November, a week prior to the release of the album.[16] The album's track listing was revealed on 28 September 2012 when it was posted on Amazon.[17] An exclusive version of the album sold at HMV came with a free CD single of "DNA".[18]

Upon its release, DNA received positive reviews from music critics. Al Fox from BBC Music was positive stating, "With placid, feline production, tight harmonies and breezy beats, much of DNA ambles along the well-trodden path of the temperate demi-ballad. But it's the ventures away from this that prove Little Mix function far better either side of mid-tempo."[38] Matt Collar of AllMusic gave the album three and a half stars out of 5 saying, "The 2011 winners of Britain's The X Factor TV show, four-piece girl group Little Mix deliver a slick, high-energy mix of dance-oriented pop music with their debut full-length album, 2012's DNA...Little Mix make good on their promise of updating the '90s girl group sound of En Vogue and TLC."[34] Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian commented, "Their debut album arrives a year after the fact, and establishes their identity nicely, which is to say that they're being positioned as a sort of updated Girls Aloud with enormous drums and plenty of very "now" early-90s R&B references...When off-kilter beats collide with impeccable harmonies and pleasingly daft lyrics (literally, in the case of Madhouse, with its "Men in white coats, don't take me back there" line), it sounds like pop as it should be...", awarding the album three out of five stars.

Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, as part of Amazon's Black Friday Deals Week, more than 500 customised versions of the album were sold out in just 13 seconds of release online. This surpassed a previous record set by One Direction's debut album Up All Night (2011), which was part of the same promotion the previous year. Customised versions of Up All Night sold out in just under one minute, nearly three times slower than that of Little Mix.[40] In Ireland, the album entered the chart at number three, behind Rihanna's Unapologetic and One Direction's Take Me Home. In the UK, it also placed in the same position behind the same two albums. By the end of the year, the album sold 234,000 copies, placing it 39th on the Top 40 biggest selling albums of the year.[41] On 19 July 2013, DNA was officially certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[42] The album spent a total of 36 weeks on the UK charts[43] and has sold 450,000 copies in the UK as of 2019.[44]

After its Europe-wide release, the album placed in the top 5 in Italy and Norway, in the top 10 in Czech Republic and Sweden, in the top 20 in Denmark and Spain, in the top 30 in France and Portugal, and in the top 50 in Finland, Belgium and the Netherlands. It was released in United States and Canada on 28 May. DNA has peaked in the top 10 of eight countries worldwide, including the UK, Australia and Italy.

In the US, DNA entered the Billboard 200 album chart at number four after selling over 50,000 copies, behind the albums of Daft Punk (Random Access Memories), Alice in Chains (The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here) and John Fogerty (Wrote a Song for Everyone). DNA was the highest charting debut-week entry album by a British girl group in the US; a record previously held by the Spice Girls' debut album Spice (1997) which debuted at number six, but which later went on to number one.[45] On digital sales alone, DNA was second in the charts.[46] As of December 2013, the album has sold over 121,000 copies in the US.[47]
