Little Mix star Leigh-Anne confirms debut solo album ‘My Ego Told Me To’

Having spent the past few months releasing a string of confident singles, Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne has now revealed that she’ll be releasing her first album as a solo artist, ‘My Ego Told Me To’, on 20th February 2026. 

Co-created with a crack team of superstar songwriters including Clarence “Coffee” Jr. (Dua Lipa, Beyoncé), Owen Cutts (Stormzy, Greentea Peng), Khris Riddick (SZA, Kehlani, Odeal), and Fred Ball (Rihanna, Jessie Reyez), ‘My Ego Told Me To’ follows Leigh-Anne’s 2024 EP ‘No Hard Feelings’ and promises to be a vibrant encapsulation of the identity she’s grown into since the girl group announced their hiatus back in 2022, bringing together her Caribbean heritage and modern pop nous. 

“This album is the truest representation of me as an artist. Versatile, rooted in reggae and my heritage, but stamped with pop,” she has shared. “It’s personal and impossible to box in. I wanted it to feel authentic, blending the genres I love with a sound that’s distinctly mine. 

“It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way. These are songs I’ll be proud of in five, ten years, because they reflect exactly where I was. You’ll hear my world in it, my daughters, my marriage, my fight for power, and the moment I embraced my fire side and said: no more. This is my show now.”
