"Nothing But My Feelings" is the third song out from Confetti. Jade has a co-writing credit on this one, and it was co-produced by Oak, who has worked with the likes of J. Lo, Nicki, Rihanna, and most recently, Demi.
I'm mad about this placement! This is NOT bottom 3 of Confetti, no ma'am. It's a bop. The verses are immaculate and that second chorus is such a fun moment, the entire thing is such an earworm, at least to me. "Happiness" is obviously the best album track from Confetti but this is in second place for me, and perhaps controversially, I prefer it to one of the singles... but we'll get to that later.

"I Love You" is out next from Get Weird. The track was co-written by all four girls and it was produced by TMS, who have worked with Little Mix from DNA right up to Confetti.
This is one of Leigh-Anne's favourites, as she picked this (alongside "Nothing Feels Like You") to be on her picture disc version of Between Us.
I really like parts of this, and then there are other parts that don't work for me. I love the soft pop/R&B vibe it has, and I wish the song kept that same energy for its duration instead of ramping up into histrionics. Perrie sounds great, naturally, but the belting feels weirdly out of place for a song that has such dreamy production.

"Madhouse" is the closing track on DNA.
This takes a bit of a tumble from the previous rate where it made it to #42, but given the extra songs in this rate, I suppose it's not all that bad.
10 giver @YourLeadSinger only has praise for this, saying "Love love LOVE! While very of its time, it goes hard and catchy as fuck. For the longest time I thought this was a Deluxe Edition bonus track because the previous song sounded like a closer but glad this is (technically) the closer. Wig. Another highlight."
This is good. It's a solid bop. The extended middle-8 is a nice touch and it shares a lot of vibes with DNA's title track which isn't a bad thing of course.

"Change Your Life" is the third single to leave our rate following "Word Up!" and "One I've Been Missing". It collects our highest total of 10s so far with 5.
It was released as the third single from DNA, and spent 9 weeks on the UK charts, peaking at #12. It was certified Silver and currently has sales of over 247,000.
Jade said that this is the first song the girls wrote together after they won the X-Factor. It was co-produced by Richard "Biff" Stannard, who would later work with the girls on Salute album track "These Four Walls", and who is most famously known for some of the biggest hits by the Spice Girls and Kylie.
...A bit of of a shame then that this song is what it is, oop. I'll let @YourLeadSinger go first: I hate this song. The spoken-rap bits by Leigh are painful to suffer through, and Jesy’s vibrato in both of her parts are irritating. The chorus, the Jade bits, Leigh’s middle-8, and Perrie’s adlibs are the only redeeming parts of the song for me."
I think the chorus is really nice, but who thought the spoken verses was a good idea? And better question, who thought this was good enough to be a single?! I'm guessing it has sentimental value for the girls which is why it was picked, but the album (despite maybe not being great as a body of work) had other songs that were viable single options over this one.
