"DNA"
Song

"DNA" is a single by British girl group Little Mix taken from their debut album of the same name. This single is the group's follow-up to their first original track "Wings", and their third single overall. Musically, "DNA" is an electropop song with dubstep influences while the lyrics speak of obsession. The single's name was revealed after a picture was taken of "DNA" written on a clapperboard. The single's lyric video was debuted on YouTube on 1 October 2012 and subsequently received its first airplay on Capital FM on the same day. The song peaked at number three in the UK and number eight in Ireland, becoming their third top ten single in both countries
